-<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">Farming is one of humanity’s oldest technologies, and while the principles of free software may only seem relevant to the past 70 years of innovation, farmers have been struggling to keep their technology free for the last 12 millennia. In this session, we’ll look at some scenarios of where this truth has been borne out in our work creating free farm management software with farmOS, and deploying free hardware solutions with Edge Collective. These projects have shown us that the principles of free software can and do make a real difference to farming communities, both large and small, across the globe. Whether it’s by preserving the right to repair tractors, sensors and other equipment on their farm, or by enshrining their right to access, store, and share their valuable data when, where, and how they choose, granting farmers with more freedom leads to better outcomes for the communities who rely on them.</div></div>
+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">Digital memory is ever more important and more difficult to manage.<br />\r
+<br />\r
+Advances in computing and communications mean that we can cost-effectively store every book, sound recording, movie, software package, and public Web page ever created, and provide access to these collections via the Internet to students and adults all over the world. By using mostly already-existing institutions and funding sources, we can build this, as well as compensate authors, within the current worldwide library budget. For the first time since the loss of the Library of Alexandria, technological advances may allow us to collect all published knowledge in a similar way. But now, we can take the original goal another step further, to make all the published works of humankind accessible to everyone, no matter where they are in the world.<br />\r
+ <br />\r
+Will we allow ourselves to reinvent our concept of libraries and archives to expand and to use the new technologies? This is fundamentally a societal and policy issue, and these issues are reflected in our governments’ spending priorities, and in law.</div></div>

+<div class="webform-long-answer">Brewster Kahle is a passionate advocate for public Internet access, and a successful entrepreneur, and he has spent his career intent on a singular focus: providing Universal Access to All Knowledge. He is the founder and Digital Librarian of the Internet Archive, one of the largest libraries in the world. Soon after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied artificial intelligence, Kahle helped found the company Thinking Machines, a parallel supercomputer maker. In 1989, Kahle created the Internet's first publishing system, called Wide Area Information Server (WAIS), later selling the company to AOL. In 1996, Kahle co-founded Alexa Internet, which helps catalog the Web, selling it to Amazon.com in 1999. The Internet Archive, which he founded in 1996, now preserves 50 petabytes of data: the books, Web pages, music, television, and software of our cultural heritage, working with more than 600 library and university partners to create a digital library, accessible to all.</div>

+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">The future of the free software movement depends upon the work of its youngest members, the developers and community members responsible for carrying on the legacy of its founding ideas. As all of us in the world of free software have something to learn from this generation of newcomers, the FSF will be presenting an interview panel with three rising members of the community: Alyssa Rosenzweig, Panfrost developer and former FSF intern; Taowa, the youngest (non-uploading) Debian Developer in the project's history; and Erin Moon, developer of the Rustodon implementation of ActivityPub.<br />\r
<br />\r
-* Jamie Gaehring has worked on farms and at farmers' markets for most of the last two decades, and today, builds frontend software for farmers with farmOS. <br />\r
+The panel will focus on topics that are crucial to the movement's continuing success and "freeing the future," including keeping our focus on the principles of freedom, making a place for the youngest or historically excluded members of the community, and responding to the rise of surveillance capitalism. The panel will be moderated by Greg Farough, campaigns manager of the FSF.</div></div>

+Erin Moon is an engineer, student, musician, and very tired. She's used, contributed to, and developed free software since she was a small kid. Over the last three years, her open source work has focused on federated social media software, as a user, contributor, and maintainer. Her other personal work includes digital signal processing research for musical purposes, ROM hacking, operating system development, and electrical hardware engineering.</div>

+<br />\r
+This talk covers the love story between free software and usability and how easily we can improve the user experience on our products by running usability tests along different stages of the development cycle. Further, we will learn how to run these tests on our own, while commenting on experiences running usability tests on GNOME.

+<h2>Clarissa Borges</h2></div>
+<div class="webform-long-answer">Clarissa Borges is a Software Engineering student at the University of Brasília, where she learned to love free software. She always loved designing software architectures, programming, and automating tasks. But knowing all of this was not enough, because the whole point of creating software for her was to ease people's lives, and she didn't know how to make her software more usable.<br />\r
+<br />\r
+At this point, Clarissa heard about Outreachy and found a Usability Research project to GNOME. This was the perfect occasion to contribute to a software she has been using for so many years and learn how to improve usability on software products. From December 2018 to March 2019, she worked running usability tests to some important GNOME programs, such as Settings, Notes, Nautilus/ Files, Calendar and Gedit.<br />\r
+<br />\r
+After the internship, she wanted to help GNOME with frequent usability tests contributions. To archieve that, she has been working on her undergraduate thesis to find a solution to facilitate to non-technical people to contribute with usability tests. She has also been contributing to GNOME, encouraging people to become contributors and being active on GNOME's Brazilian community. </div>

Historically, biking has been associated with many things including health, happiness, and feminism. What about free software?<br />\r

+During the next 45 minutes, we will explore the free engineering, grassroots innovation, hands-on learning, hidden dangers, bright horizons, and overall rad routes that both free software and bicycles cover mile by mile, together.<br />\r

+This ride through history, including the past, present, and future, will leave both free software and cycling enthusiasts with a deeper understanding of what it is that "sparks joy" within members of each group.<br />\r

+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">Farming is one of humanity’s oldest technologies, and while the principles of free software may only seem relevant to the past 70 years of innovation, farmers have been struggling to keep their technology free for the last 12 millennia. In this session, we’ll look at some scenarios of where this truth has been borne out in our work creating free farm management software with farmOS, and deploying free hardware solutions with Edge Collective. These projects have shown us that the principles of free software can and do make a real difference to farming communities, both large and small, across the globe. Whether it’s by preserving the right to repair tractors, sensors and other equipment on their farm, or by enshrining their right to access, store, and share their valuable data when, where, and how they choose, granting farmers with more freedom leads to better outcomes for the communities who rely on them.</div></div>

+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">Free software comprises a commons shared and coordinated voluntarily by users, developers, and others. If we think of free software participants as a self-governing community, they need paths toward setting their own expectations and standards, evaluating facts, and developing trust between them. Those are three interrelated but different kinds of processes. When one of these processes is disrupted, we rely on the others. When all three are disrupted, crises can spiral. Each may need to change, be reconfirmed, or left as an open question. <br />\r

+In this talk, we'll explore practical approaches for community leaders, moderators, and contributors, as well as concepts of deliberative democracy from Habermas' theory of communicative action. </div></div>
