+DESCRIPTION:A battle is underway at the US Department of Defense (DoD) to
+ improve the way DoD develops\, secures\, and deploys software. The Nationa
+ l Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is not common reading for most people\,
+ but buried within the DoD’s 2\,000-page budget authorization is a
+ provision to free source code. The lively history behind this provision is
+ simultaneously frustrating and encouraging\, with private industry giants
+ \, Congress\, and other federal agencies jockeying around the effort to fr
+ ee the code at DoD. Come listen to this important\, but perhaps lesser kno
+ wn\, chapter of the free software narrative\, and learn how a small group
+ of impassioned digital service experts are defying all odds to continue th

+ reproducible builds is to allow verification that no flaws have been intr

+DESCRIPTION:Many things in life come with limitations -- often because we
+ don't have unlimited time\, energy\, or other resources. But software ofte
+ n feels like it should be an exception\, because it's immaterial and weigh
+ tless\, built from scratch out of logic. It doesn't literally rust or rot.
+ So idealistic software developers have consistently envisioned software s
+ ystems that will escape the shortcomings that frustrate users. Meanwhile\,
+ researchers keep discovering kinds of tradeoffs that seem to be built int
+ o the very structure of certain problems\; as the Rolling Stones said\, "Y
+ ou can't always get what you want." Inherent tradeoffs have popped up in p
+ olitical science\, computer science\, and even ethical philosophy\, with c
+ onjectures and often formal proofs that\, in various regards\, can't be we
+ dged into any system that will give people all that they want out of it. L
+ imitative theorems are now a major research theme\, and more are being fou
+ nd all the time. These tradeoffs seem to have very practical consequences\
+ , among other things\, for privacy and anonymity software\, and for social
+ networks: each design may have to give up things some users value in orde
+ r to achieve other goals. Thinking about these limitations and what they d
+ o or don't mean can help inform discussions of software design\, especiall
+ y for communications tools whose value depends on broad adoption. And we'r

+DESCRIPTION:For nonprofits\, accepting credit card donations has become ea
+ sier and easier\, whether through a donation processing company or directl
+ y through a payment network like Stripe. Sadly\, though\, until now\, nonp
+ rofits have had limited options: either accepting some non-free Javascript
+ for an elegant donation experience with minimal PCI compliance rules\, or
+ requiring complex integrations or PCI compliance burdens on the backend.
+ Eric Schultz\, Lead Developer with CommitChange\, and core contributor to
+ CommitChange.org\, the free donation processing and donation management sy
+ stem running CommitChange\, highlights how nonprofits can use free softwar
+ e to improve donor experience without compromising their mission. Addition
+ ally\, Eric will discuss the history of CommitChange.org\, how it can be u
+ sed for crowdfunding\, why it was licensed under the AGPL with a few uniqu
+ e additional permissions\, and how nonprofits and their supporters can wor
+ k together to improve fundraising software to improve people's lives.

+DESCRIPTION:OBS Studio is a FLOSS application that puts you in the directo
+ r's chair for live streaming or recording. It is built as an application t
+ o help video game or creative streamers share their computer screens with
+ a live audience\, but its power goes well beyond that. Anyone who is using
+ their computer to tell a story can benefit from the professional touch th
+ at OBS can provide. It can manage multiple capture devices\, independently
+ combine captured window areas\, and overlay text and graphics. In this pr
+ esentation\, I'll show you what this software can do\, and what you can do
+ with it. A simple example: presenters often like to include their social
+ media handle on their slides. When the presenter goes to the terminal\, th
+ is isn't displayed. If the presenter uses OBS studio to control the projec
+ tor display\, OBS studio can trivially be configured to overlay anything.
