In this session\, Tarek discus ses work on the front lines in Gaza to make medical devices accessible by creating free designs and validating them according to medical industry st andards. These efforts have been part of a larger initiative to lay a foun dation for a post-liberation Gaza in which FLOSS medical devices must comp ete against proprietary medical devices.

Everything seems to be increasingly centralized in such corporations (a trend popular ly called the "cloud\," although Richard Stallman has repeatedly criticize d the use of that buzzword). This presentation will explain why such centr alization and the triumph of first movers is facilitated by three technolo gical factors: the end of Moore's Law\, compiling complex algorithms into hardware (which may reach its climax in quantum computing)\, and the value of aggregating large amounts of data.

They provide mech anisms which allow applications to communicate with each other. Developers can integrate various APIs into their code to create entirely new applica tions. Unfortunately\, users of an API are held hostage to the licensing o f its creator. If an API is not free software compliant\, then none of its users can build free software off of it. Using the Google Maps API as a c ase study\, we will examine the ethical and technological implications of providing open\, but not free\, access to an API.

Free software has provided working examples of large-sc ale collaborative communities\, as well as practical tools for those commu nities to use. Tools like MediaWiki\, Loomio\, Discourse\, Etherpad\, and Git all provide functionality useful for decentralized collaboration.

In this session\, I discuss a case in which GPL enforcem ent led to quantifiable benefits for customers: GPL violations by Cisco/Li nksys\, and the emergence of OpenWRT. In 2003\, Cisco/Linksys was found to be in violation of the GPL by distributing GNU/Linux source code with its WRT54G. Successful negotiations by the FSF led Cisco/Linksys to release s ource code\, creating a wide array of custom firmware projects. In this t alk\, I collect data on wireless routers\, custom firmware compatibility\, and match this to Amazon.com reviews. I show that users value routers com patible with OpenWRT\, and that these products have higher reviews and sel l more. This talk highlights the importance of measuring the impact of GPL enforcement\, and shows how GPL enforcement can benefit customers.

What can free software advocates learn from the successful social movements and revolutions of the past\, and how can we apply it to a technological revolution? An experienced grassroots organizer and software developer guided by the principles of Kingian nonvi olence will show you what it takes to mobilize communities and generate a social crisis that can no longer be ignored.

The focus will be on what the courts conclude d the licenses meant\, and what questions courts have left open. We will a lso review court cases covering nonfree software licenses\, such as a case involving a Creative Commons license\, to see what lessons we might learn from them\, as well.

Users use software\, while developers write it. How does one transition between just using software and making it? One easy wa y to help free software projects is to report bugs and suggest features. T his talk will walk you through the step-by-step process of finding a proje ct where your contribution will be useful\, downloading the project\, comp iling the project\, running the project\, and reporting bugs. No prior pro gramming knowledge is necessary to understand this talk\, but prior knowle dge of GNU/Linux would be helpful.

We need to lead with a vision of how the world could be. A volunt ary community\, one where people participate by choice\, does not have to replicate the power structures\, gatekeeping\, or casual cruelty of the sy stems it seeks to replace. We could make free software the most empowering place to build software. Free software tools could enable new ways of cra fting user experiences that proprietary software providers seem unwilling to offer. Free software could transform the relationship between users and developers\, so that users feel like partners instead of sales metrics. F ree software communities should be seeking to outdo proprietary software's methods and social norms in every possible way. We've made a great start by empowering many technical and semi-technical users\, but we can't stop there. (What kind of utopia only has coders in it?) Let's build a kinder a nd more practical free software movement to empower all kinds of people!

DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20190324T143000 DTEND;TZID=US/Eastern:20190324T151500 DTSTAMP:20190323T023023Z UID:36@LP2019@libreplanet.org ATTENDEE;CN="Alexandre Oliva";CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT:inval id:nomail CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Architectural bugs Spectre and Meltdown have caused major pani c and still worry many. Oddly\, some proposed mitigations that require ins talling proprietary blobs have not caused similar worries\, despite growin g awareness about prevalent data collection\, built-in backdoors\, and the risks of placing too much trust in software and hardware designers with i nterests not aligned with those of users. Who can we trust\, then? What le ssons are there for the free software community? Being suspicious of Web b lobs and foggy computing\, and not victimizing anyone through them\, do we have anything to fear but fear itself?

But neither computers nor their us ers are performing feats of magic\; for systems to think\, we must tell th em how. Today\, users most often follow a carefully choreographed workflow that thinks for them\, limited by a narrow set of premeditated possibilit ies. But there exist concepts that offer virtually no limits on freedom of expression or thought\, blurring the distinction between "user" and "prog rammer." This session demonstrates a range of practical possibilities when a machine acts as an extension of the user's imagination\, for the techni cal and nontechnical alike.

I will discuss how a piece of R script was developed with a group of trauma surgeons to m ake this possible. This free software is an initial step that could easily be expanded to incorporate EHR data or analysis of historical patient dat a with an aim to improve patient care and outcomes.

Emacs and the community around it have created a feature-full IDE that surpasses the other options in so many ways. This talk serves as an overview for the plethora of feat ures offered by Emacs (and specifically the Spacemacs distribution) that c an transform the way you work.

But amid frequent news of data breaches\, security sometim es feels out of reach. There is hope: with security education for hackers\ , security-enhancing features embedded into free operating systems and app lication platforms\, and a mindful approach to data collection and managem ent\, we will prevail. In this session\, I’ll share how hackers can main tain control over their own computing\, even in adversarial environments. I'll also share high-impact ways to secure your computing using free softw are\, and how\, as a maintainer\, distributor\, or operator\, you can secu re your platform for everyone’s benefit.

In 2016\, the world got an indication of the direction in which we are hea ded. But it’s not too late to change course. The change starts with the Web’s infrastructure. In this session\, Danny explains how the modern We b threatens democracy\, why we must decentralize the Web using technology like FreedomBox\, and what you can do today. In 2010\, the FreedomBox proj ect was launched. After nine years\, it has arrived to help you save the d ay. But FreedomBox itself won’t save the day. You will. How? Join this s ession to learn.

Algorithms now sort us into Global da tabases like PRISM or ECHELON\, and there are devices such as StingRay cel l phone trackers used to categorize our every movement. We may build our own profiles online\, but we do not have access to the meta-profile built by the corporate entities that our queries traverse as we navigate online\ , purchasing goods and services as well as logging into sites where we hav e accounts. The level of intrusion into our most private thoughts should b e alarming\, yet most fail to heed the call as they feel small\, alone\, a nd unable to defy the scrutiny of disapproval from the powers that govern societal norms and their peers. Together\, we can change this. Micky will engage your mind on a journey to open an ongoing discussion to rediscover and reawaken your own creative thought processes. Together\, we build a co nversation that should never end as it will join us together transparently maintaining our freedoms\, with free software as the foundation. Where do we find our personal power\, and how do we use it as developers? Do we ha ve a collective goal? Have you checked your social credit rating lately? O thers have.
