+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>Technology policy, and advocacy around it, used to be largely considered in its own silo. Those days are over. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been lucky to work with advocates in many spaces, including criminal justice, reproductive justice, and worker rights to advocate for change. As technology becomes an integral part of more areas of our daily life, a cross-disciplinary advocacy mindset becomes more necessary to nurture. We will discuss lessons EFF has learned from building these partnerships. We'll highlight how valuable it is for "tech people" to be more involved in modern community movements. We'll also talk about how we can bring skills honed in the free software advocacy community to other areas of policy. Ultimately, the goal is not only to think about how to diversify the free software movement—it's also to expand people's definition of what "counts" as "their" issue.</p>

+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>For forty years, the free software movement has been driven by a passionate community of hackers who care deeply about user freedom and privacy. Meanwhile, the strategies and tools that other software communities use to organize, promote, and execute projects has changed significantly.</p>
+<p>In this talk, we will discuss how to cultivate a welcoming community that attracts a new generation of passionate users, contributors, and maintainers to free software projects. I will take inspiration from other successful projects to illustrate a human-centered process that streamlines contributions, strengthens maintainership, and creates a feeling of shared ownership for all users.</p>

The participants will share their experiences with working with community organizations. Together, we will brainstorm solutions to bring more technological freedom and independence, privacy and free software collaborative practices into the community sector. I will present the results of a needs assessment postdoctoral project (Fall 2023) in which I interviewed almost 50 Canadian community organizations, listing their technological challenges and needs. We will thinker solutions related to improving community organizations' data management and privacy, collaborative practices, migration to free software platforms, and continuous training.</p>

+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>Nowadays, proprietary/non-free software has become nearly synonymous with educational establishments. Using software that is "the norm" or "industry standard" forces students to submit to proprietary applications "for the good of their future." Tools for textbook access and homework assignment/submission force students to submit to subscription-based DRM models and forfeit any opportunity to own the knowledge contained within the textbooks. Big name companies, some of which are the biggest proponents of proprietary software, are considered the best on resumes, and students are encouraged to search for jobs at such conglomerates. <a href="mailto:GNU@NU">GNU@NU</a>, Northeastern's free software organization is here to help! We will be holding a discussion on student experiences with free software, as they pertain to anything remotely educational. Come join us to help and learn more!</p>

The presentation will look at how we've addressed external problems in the past. The ones we won, the ones we lost. It will look at a year of work on the EU Cyber Resilience Act. First, a short look at its substance, because the US and other regions are already working on something similar. Second, a longer look at the campaign itself: coalition building, why policy can't be worked on like software, and how to find and keep allies.</p>

This holds for dominant (nonfree) operating systems for workstations and mobiles, with their mandatory updates, but users become even more vulnerable to enshittification by using web apps downloaded at every use from somebody else's servers, by doing their computing through somebody else's services, and by using remotely controlled and remotely mediated smartIoT devices and appliances. Even when using software that's not updated automatically on their own computers, users (and their upstream distributors) may be persuaded to adopt enshittif(ied/ying?) versions, including CPU microcode and firmware for system initialization and for peripheral devices.

As a gamer who cares about freedom, I avoid those games. Since my computer is based on the FSF certified Talos II Mainboard and POWER9 CPU, I'm technically unable to install those non-free games and the Steam Client Software. Instead I go for Freedom-To-Play games, included in many GNU/Linux distributions. (in some cases even SteamOS without having to use Steam). I'll also improve existing "open source" games and make them truly freedom respecting. This does not mean that those games have to be gratis, I think of a way to enable users to pay for Freedom-To-Play games using Taler.</p>

+<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>The primary computer for over half of humanity is the smartphone. Nearly all of these devices run some proprietary locked-down derivations of free operating systems that restrict, in various ways, the software that can be run. The resulting "walled garden" app stores that dominate these platforms are naturally biased against free software in favor of profit-making app ventures. Does this mean that free software is impossible to create – and sustain – in this environment? The premise of this talk is that the answer must be no. But it is an uphill battle. I will outline a model of an oasis of free software that can grow and thrive within these walled-garden environments, and how a small global community can sustain a collection of digital public goods that may benefit billions of people, with minimal ongoing cost, for generations to come.</p>
