+<p>This workshop will give a hands-on look at the tools that we use at the Reproducible Builds project to analyze build products and make them more reproducible. We'll go through how to use tools like diffoscope and reprotest, and give a few exercises for participants to try out. Then we'll do a brief tour of the Debian reproducibility toolchain, pointing out things like SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH and strip-nondeterminism. Finally, we'll pick out an unreproducible package from Debian unstable and apply what we've learned to try to make it reproducible.</p>
+<p>Bring a laptop and a project you want to make reproducible, including its build dependencies. We'll install diffoscope and reprotest during the session, but if you're not on a Debian system then you're welcome to test that these programs work on your OS beforehand and submit bugs if they don't.</p>

+<p>Whistleblowing and leaking have dominated news coverage in recent years. Learn how Freedom of the Press Foundation maintains a free software anonymous whistleblowing platform used by major news organizations. Discussion will center on challenges of principled centralization when partnering with media outlets, and managing a largely decentralized platform with high security requirements.</p>

-<p>Machine learning (ML) research has a long and still prevalent legacy of using proprietary technology. As ML becomes more and more popular with industry-scale large applications, many new and powerful proprietary pushes have been trying to enter different parts of the ML application stack. We need to be prepared for the challenges of keeping free and open source technology in ML, and the challenges come from both the legacy side and the new proprietary push side. However, ML is still overlooked in our conversations about free and open technology, although many open source alternatives have made ways into ML research, development, and industry applications. In this session, we will first have a quick glimpse at the history ML stack in research, development, and applications, then explore ML's proprietary legacy and its status quo. Then we will look at where the proprietary army is coming (again) while we were not looking. To conclude, we will discuss strategies about what we can do as - a community and as individuals - to keep ML research and development free and open. Audience will walk away with the big picture of many floating pieces in current ML development and applications, and will also learn about less-explored historical context of ML development, its influence on the potential future of free and open source technology in ML, and some action recipes to keep ML free and open. Your thoughts, questions, and further discussions are also cordially welcome!</p>

Such censorship will not stop at social(-control) media: (centralized) web searches are already censored and otherwise distorted, and even (proprietary) software assistants, running on our own mobile computers, may end up assisting not us, but the censors that control their software and, by concealing the present from us, our future.

-<p>One avenue for advancing free software and free culture is the workplace. It's the one place where we spend a substantial (if not the majority) of our time, have potential access to large audiences, funds, and resources.
-The talk explores free software, free culture, and the prospects for both in the workplace. Questions explored include: What kind of workplaces are amenable to FOSS? What is the impact of the current economic trends (increasing job insecurity, short work tenure, stagnating wages, and increasing hours worked)? How is FOSS leveraged in environments where workers have limited control or agency? What is the impact of wide scale adoption and intensifying of 'stick' models of employee management in place of cooperative models?</p>
