-<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">In a world increasingly defined by environmental deregulation, how can free tools and technology alter the ability for communities to be part of the solution? This talk will explore a decade of work where community science and free technology have been used to support people in addressing environmental concerns. Focusing on the work of Public Lab, the talk will take us from the 2010 BP oil disaster through the rapid growth of free technology for environmental monitoring, and take a closer look at the challenges we face going forward with data, hardware, and governance.</div></div>

-<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">30 years after the World Wide Web was created, can we now make it better? How can we ensure that our most important values -- privacy, free speech, and free access to knowledge -- are enshrined in the code itself? In a provocative call to action, entrepreneur and libre Internet advocate Brewster Kahle challenges us to build a better, decentralized Web based on new distributed technologies. Web site content and code could be served peer-to-peer, with decentralized pseudonymous identity, and even payment models. What a world it could be! He lays out a path to creating a new Web that is reliable, private, but still fun -- in order to lock the Web open for good.</div></div>
+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>How can we harness the precision of machines for the creativity of individuals? Automation and computer control of machines is increasingly widespread. However, it's often employed for dull, dirty, or dangerous tasks. This is partially because setting up these systems is complex and time consuming. How can we instead lower the threshold to automation such that it can be employed for experimental and explorational practices? In this talk, I will describe my research group's machine designs, and perhaps more importantly, discuss the attributes that makes them buildable, tailorable, and extendable by others.</p>

-<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
-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>

By leveraging the high interactivity and enticing incentives of game design with tight feedback loops, difficult concepts can be absorbed with little effort. But can a complex and controversial topic such as climate change be transformed into a fun and exciting learning opportunity? In this talk, we will explore how the philosophy of free software has been used to do exactly that by showing what we did to create and modify our own game and discuss how it can be applied in empowering educators and students to gamify their own interests.</p>

Our organization, Özgür Yazılım Derneği (Free Software Association of Turkey), wanted to translate our Web site and works to Anatolian languages including Kurdish, Zazaki, Lazuri, and Homshetsi.

I’ve learned a ton on this journey; honestly I still am learning, but I have some lessons to share, and hopefully, I can warn attendees about pitfalls that can cause wasted cycles and pain. Topics will include scoping your project, personally-backed versus corporate-backed projects, why empathy and audience is important, celebrations, defeats, successful traits of free software projects, and more.</div></div>

In this session, we present decentralized services designed around the principle of least authority: the 3NWeb free software protocols and client. 3NWeb use cases include encrypted messaging and storage, which we will demonstrate. The protocols can be run over anonymous networks such as Tor. We need to share our knowledge and collectively move our society to be more immune to crisis via increased deployment of free software. 3NWeb can help the world move one more step in that direction.</p>

-<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">In the free software ecosystem most users end up being someone who has a technological background. Meanwhile, many regular software users stick to proprietary solutions.<br />\r
-<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. We also discuss how to create ways for the community to start contributing. </div></div>

+Right to repair is working to make that happen--to restore a small amount of freedom to the hardware world. We've introduced legislation in over 20 states and are pushing manufacturers to release schematics and security patches for embedded systems.<br />

-<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>

-<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">This presentation will provide a summary of current free software tools that can be used in operating a terrestrial or Internet-based community radio station. It will focus primarily on LibreTime, an AGPLv3-licensed radio automation system, and some of the underlying free software components it is built with, including Icecast and Liquidsoap. I will share how LibreTime is used by my community FM station, WCRS-LP, to operate our broadcast using primarily free software, and some of the challenges faced in doing so. I will also share information about some other free software projects, like AzuraCast and Rivendell, to provide overview of the free software landscape for radio stations. My hope is this will serve as a blueprint of inspiration for other people seeking ways of running their radio station using free software. Community media can serve a vital role in informing the public, and free software can play an essential part of this.</div></div>

-This presentation focuses on the positives, challenges, and ongoing conversation around using free software to bridge the digital divide, specifically on barriers to entry regarding the level of digital literacy required to complete daily tasks using free software, involving people in the circular economy model of technology reuse, and what possible solutions exist or can be developed.<br />\r

This talk will cover one academic's experience with free software in academia. The major takeaway is that the principles of free software make for good science. The talk will cover topics on free software development for research purposes, including dissemination and evaluation, as well as teaching, both for supporting education and for teaching about the tools themselves. I will go over (1) how free software has supported my own research by enabling sharing and integration of multiple research projects; (2) how free software is (or is not) used in the academic literature and the effects on repeatability; and (3) how I integrate free software tools in my own courses.</div></div>

+- or - how I learned to stop worrying about password meters and love the dice</p>
+<p>Since 2010, EFF has maintained a project dubbed Panopticlick, which aims to help users understand a technique called browser fingerprinting. Web trackers are able to stitch together little bits of information the users browser leaves behind into a cohesive whole, a fingerprint which follows them across their usage of the Web. Panopticlick is able to quantify the amount of information your browser leaks through the use of an information theoretical approach to privacy which determines how much information each individual metric (say, a user's list of fonts) reveals, and the relationship of these individual metrics to how much a browser reveals in general. Many of the misconceptions users have when using the site reflect an unclear picture about how their browser fingerprint is arrived at, and often leads users down a path that *decreases* their overall privacy in an attempt to increase it.</p>

Through metaphor and with a unique apprenticeship-based pedagogy, Tech Learning Collective (TLC) is empowering users by doing exactly what code boot camps and corporate-funded "learn to code" programs don't: TLC tells students to ignore new Web frameworks and focus instead on the lowest layers of an IT stack like physical network and hardware storage devices. At TLC, infrastructure is the heart of a free software curriculum eschewing common rush-to-employment training paradigms in favor of Socratic classrooms where practicing Bash commands seamlessly meld with lectures about Gnostic influences on Ethernet, the relationship between Gregorian chants and bootloaders, and more. Come see why and how TLC's holistic approach to IT education is creating communities of activist sysadmins out of people who wouldn't otherwise have called themselves "techies."</p>

Early in 2018, we began our User Research Program, where we incorporated user research as part of our outreach security trainings by doing interviews and collecting user feedback on the tools we taught participants during the training. So far, this program has reached an audience of over 800 people in countries like Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, India, Indonesia, Kenya and Uganda. The methods of conducting open user research and collecting usability feedback mentioned above have been informing design decisions in every stable Tor Browser release since 7.5 (and we’re up to 10.0.2!). </p>
+<p>During this presentation we will share our human-centered design methodologies and the impact they had in releasing usable free software PET's.</p>

-<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">We are entering the post-ownership age. In recent years, the Service as a Software Substitute (SaaSS) model, which is already dominant in many areas of consumer software, has begun to spread into other aspects of our lives. It will soon be, if it isn't already, possible to live without actually owning possessions. You can now get your clothes, electronics and food -- among many other items -- on subscription, as well as real-world services such as laundry and transport. In time, we are set to see a handful of companies renting you everything you rely on, and that gives them incredible power, not only in terms of your possessions, but also in terms of their ideological control over you and the wider population. This session explores the potential damage of the Life as a Service (LaaS) model, and what free software can do to help.</div></div>
+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>Adopting free software ideals can be confusing and challenging for individuals, filled with cognitive dissonance and questioning of practicality. Am I a bad person if I use nonfree software? What example should I set as a free software activist or advocate? How does that relate to responsibilities of developers and distributors?</p>
+<p>This is a talk about practical ethics and ideals. It is personal, drawing upon my experiences and evolution over the past fifteen years. It contains some awkward discussions that free software activists like to avoid, and hopes to guide those seeking to adopt more free software ideals, but fear they may not be able to meet such high standards. It's a talk about evolution and growth.</p>
+<p>But complacency in the face of conflict can also dilute our ideals. So this is also a talk about balancing ideals in the context of one's own unique circumstances, while at the same time preserving a strong message about software freedom.</p>

With each project we set out to explore tools and principles, going beyond "open" towards a framing of copyleft and freedom in the graphic arts. 10 years went by and we want to underscore that anniversary by sharing our work, tools and stories of how we grew to love the GNU, and how free software ideals came to redefine our design practice, and are more relevant than ever today.</p>

+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>Organizational change is never easy. It can be particularly challenging in values-centered non-profits, where calls for healthy organizational change can be seen as criticism or a threat to the core values. This conversation between two long-time nonprofit leaders will dive into organizational change at two tech- and values-centered nonprofits, the Sunlight Foundation (where former leaders were accused of sexual harassment) and at the Wikimedia Foundation (where a sweeping strategic process has resulted in a broader vision that goes beyond free licensing to explicitly include equity). By seeing how one organization tried to rebuild after crisis, and another proactively reimagined its role in the broader free ecosystem, attendees should come away with ideas for how their own communities (small and large) can address the past and look towards the future.</p>

-<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">Most IoT (The Internet of Things) devices remain under the control of the companies that manufacture them, yielding a plethora of security, privacy and software freedom concerns. Ironically, most such devices include Linux as their kernel, and usually no GNU. Linux's license, GPLv2, mandates the users' rights to modify and upgrade the software. Sadly, due to widespread violations of the GPL, such rights are rarely granted with most IoT devices on the market. This talk explains the political, social, and legal backstory that led to this abysmal situation, and proposes what we must do next to ameliorate the problem.<br />\r
-<br />\r
-These embedded devices typically remain under the complete control of the manufacturer — not only for their basic functionality — but for safety and security updates as well. In many cases, these devices require Herculean efforts by the home user to modify and upgrade.<br />\r
-<br />\r
-This talk explains the political, social, and legal ramifications of this abysmal situation. Attendees can expect a full explanation of the history of GPL enforcement, how it has historically defended the rights of hobbyist modifications to home devices, and what processes exist now to continue that fight.</div></div>

-<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">From ciphers to cybersecurity, encryption is all around us. We rely on digital security while we bank, shop, and communicate. At the core of that security lies encryption. As developers, we use some form of encryption in our work every day. Maybe we are storing or sending data online, implementing authentication protocols, or protecting our customers' payment information. <br />\r
-<br />\r
-This talk will cover the basics of a topic extensive enough to spend years studying. What is encryption? How does it work? Why is it important? You can expect to come away with a solid understanding of the foundational concepts of encryption. We will also take a little bit of time to peek into the future of encryption, where things are getting exciting!</div></div>
+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>In the current digital era, knowledge systems are available and accessible in many forms digitally, making learning a easier process for almost everyone who has access to them. For instance, a primary school student is able to work on electronics, robotics, and programming. On the flipside, there are underprivileged students who do not have access to even a basic computer due to lack of IT infrastructure in their schools. This creates a digital divide.</p>
+<p>To bridge the divide, we can use free software like GNU/Linux, free hardware designs, and freely licensed educational materials. The BalaSwecha project makes use of all these to develop a GNU/Linux distribution based on interactive learning principles for children studying in underprivileged and underfunded schools. The presentation will deal about details and execution of this community project.</p>

-This presentation will explain effective strategies to teach the next generation what free software is, how it differs from proprietary software, and how licenses like the GPL and BSD 3-Clause have similar goals yet different legal implementations. William has been teaching (and grading) his college students on these concepts, and he will show you how to do the same for your students or your friends. Foundational legal concepts like copyright, patents, and trademarks will be clarified, as well as how to break down the main software license categories: copyleft (strong/weak), permissive, and proprietary.</div></div>
+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>Over 100 teams attempted to create free/libre solutions to address the shortage of ventilators caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; we created a large spreadsheet evaluating all of them along many coordinates. Slowly, teams coalesced into a global community and began cooperating. There were many successes, failures, and learnings. The community had pioneered techniques that were re-used inconsistently to organize teams. The overall effect was mixed in terms of its success developing ventilators, but very successful in advancing the global free hardware community. We present this story from the point of view of a full-time active participant in many organizations.</p>

This session seeks to articulate the core values of software freedom: how the tenets of FSF's Four Freedoms and the Open Source Definition's criteria enable networks of collaboration and co-creation. Current issues from a variety of interested parties are considered, not on their value as a movement, but rather their impact on the freedoms to run, study, modify, and redistribute works.

-<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">Games are part of our culture, like books and movies. While we have access to some older games via emulators, we are failing to save our free software history. Many developers try to develop a game, and then the game reaches a satisfactory state or the developer just moves on. Finding these games can be hard. Eventually libraries or languages change, and the game no longer runs. This talk will discuss restoring games for future players to enjoy.</div></div>
+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>Why is it that some free software projects, although started at the same time as comparable propriety projects, are still playing catch-up in terms of number of users and desired features? Features comparisons as well as the network effect and how well known a piece of software is play into this, but what features do users find most important? We can’t make “better” software until we know what features users actually care about. This talk will explore prominent examples of free software projects and look at how free software can stay ahead of the curve.</p>

The basic tactic is to form teams of inventors that work publicly, in the light, with free licenses.<br />\r

-This talk will be accompanied by a demonstration of physical devices that embody the public-invention project-based approach. These projects will be explained as a motivation of our intellectual property policies and specific operating practices. We will briefly touch on the six most advanced projects supported by Public Invention, and briefly mention some of the forty invention ideas that have been donated to Public Invention to develop and build. We will place Public Invention in a historic context, discuss the mission, and explain our vision for the future: a world where inventing “in the public, for the public” is the norm.</div></div>

+<p>I wanted to develop Inkscape for users, and to do this I have started asking users to fund me directly. Four Inkscape developers currently use a personal funding platform to try and raise the money needed to make our activities more stable and user-focused.

Corporations, and their partner in crime, governments, come up with new clever ideas to restrict free flow of information. Overlords of the truth are trying to recover old control, which the Internet has eroded everywhere in favor of the people.<br />
+Networking and freedom of communication are meant to be great equalizers. That would be true if carriers of communication signals could come out of thin air. Like the land and means of production, our signals depend on existing infrastructure, and the lords who own them are an obstacle to the freedom of the people.

+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>FUD fighting on the front lines of right to repair: As our homes, workplaces and public spaces fill with Internet-connected "smart" stuff, a digital right to repair is critical to protecting consumer rights, property rights and civil liberties. Despite that, electronics giants like Apple, Samsung, LG and General Electric have snuffed out scores of proposed state laws seeking to create such a right. How? By scaring legislators with tales of device hacking, cyber stalking and identity theft. </p>
+<p>Creating a legal right to repair our stuff means short-circuiting these arguments and injecting a dose of facts into hearings and public debate. In this presentation, Paul Roberts, the founder of SecuRepairs, provides a dispatch from the front lines of right to repair and how his group of more than 200 IT and information security professionals is doing battle to set the record straight on cybersecurity and the right to repair.</p>

-<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">For many years, the existence of software patents, and the threat that certain entities would use them against free software, was an issue of significant concern to the free software community. Since then, there have been many court decisions that have altered the landscape of what may be patented, procedures allowing challenges to patents outside of the court system, industry initiatives to create "patent peace" around parts of the free software world, and changes in the behaviors of certain patent holders once thought to present the greatest threat to free software. This presentation will give an overview, designed for a non-legal audience, of the latest developments, and suggest where the future of patents and free software may be headed.</div></div>
+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>During COVID-19 confinement, I saw how all teachers were choosing proprietary video conferencing programs over free software for the continuation of online lessons.<br />
+I had two options: do nothing about it and let proprietary video conferencing tools spread among my children and their classmates, or try to fight back against this injustice.<br />
+My paramount concern was for my own children. I knew in advance what it meant to start this battle. Moreover, this could affect my children’s feelings. They were not attending school and they were already facing a very complex challenge by being forced to stay at home. On the other hand, I was also afraid of having some kind of retaliation from their teachers against them because of my fight.<br />
+I didn’t want any of these things to happen. I needed to decide what to do, and evaluate if my commitment towards the free software movement was more important than my own children, or if I had to let it go this time.<br />
+I concluded that the answer was not either face a big fight or do nothing, I could do something in between; that at least would be better than doing nothing.</p>

-<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>

+Plom was developed because existing grading software was usually proprietary, too expensive, did not allow for the complexity of multiversioned tests required for crowded exam rooms, and might not respect local privacy laws. Plom respects privacy of student data: all data stays on your server, and markers do not see student names or IDs while they are marking.<br />
+Plom is GPLv3 licensed and is currently in use at the University of British Columbia. As an undergraduate student team, we made significant improvements to the functionality and correctness of Plom, and are excited to share our contributions with you.</p>

-<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-long-answer">Free software is much better than proprietary software in many ways, but this talk is about how it’s also a more environmentally sustainable model for computing. Free software makes it easy to reuse old machines and prevent excess waste from going into the environment. This can't be done with proprietary software because the manufacturer can force updates that slow the machine down, or they could stop supporting the system altogether. This is not a problem with free software, because the source code can be modified. </div></div>
+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>Software Heritage collects, preserves, and shares software source code from major software development forges, free software distributions, package manager repositories, and more. As such, Software Heritage is the premier digital preservation initiative whose goal encompasses the long-term archival of free software commons for generations to come.<br />
+The Software Heritage archive is the largest publicly accessible archive of software source code, having collected 10 billion unique source code files and 2 billion unique commits from more than 140 million software projects.<br />
+This talk will provide an update about the Software Heritage project, focusing on increased archive coverage, integration with other initiatives, and way to practically use the archive, for both end users and developers.</p>
