-<p>Based in Providence, RI, MJ Kaplan supports strategy and growth for Loomio, with a focus on the US. MJ joined Loomio in 2014 after spending 2013 as Ian Axford Fulbright Fellow researching social enterprise start-ups in New Zealand where Loomio is based. MJ is Adjunct Professor at Brown University, where she teaches an action learning class in social enterprise and organizational strategy. MJ founded Kaplan Consulting in 2000, a national firm focused on strategic alignment and partnerships. MJ was a consultant for the Institute for Conservation Leadership for over 20 years, supporting environmental agencies in board and leadership development, strategy and collaboration. MJ was honored as The Outstanding Mentor for the 2011 RI Business Women Awards. In 2012, MJ traveled to Guatemala with Leading Women to contribute support for Amigos de Santa Cruz, a rural center working on micro-enterprise. MJ is trustee of Commerce Rhode Island and Social Enterprise Greenhouse. MJ earned her M.Ed. from Harvard University and B.A. Brown University.</p>
+<p>I was on the PyCon 2007 conference committee and the number one complaint
+in the post conference survey was that speakers did not provide
+presentation files. I set out to solve that problem by recording the video
+stream going to the projector. I later discovered how the Debian conference
+did their videos: they use software designed to be used by conference
+volunteers, and a work flow that makes the best use out of the few hours of
+their time. I optimized that process to manage larger events and towards
+getting the final videos online in under 24 hours. I created a company
+called NextDayVideo and have since produced over 2000 vidoes of primarily
+free software conferences.</p>

+<p>Bassam is a 3D animator/filmmaker whose 2006 short, Elephants Dream, was the first "open movie." It established the viability of libre tools in a production environment and set precedent by offering its source data under a permissive license for learning, remixing and re-use. His character, ManCandy, began as an easily animatable test bed for rigging experiments. Multiple iterations have been released to the public, and Bassam demonstrates him in the animated tutorial video + short, The ManCandy FAQ. Under the sign of the urchin, Bassam is continuing to pursue a model of production that invests in commonwealth. He teaches, writes and lectures around the world on free production and free software technique. Raised in Damascus, Bassam trained in the United States as an electrical and software engineer.</p>

-<p>Loomio is free software that we created after experiencing the
-transformative potential of participatory decision making, and its
-limitations, during the Occupy movement in New Zealand. Scaling is
-impossible if people have to be in the same place at the same time so
-we developed software that allows online groups to be inclusive and
-fast, enabling deliberative discussion that taps the collective
-intelligence of the group while moving actively to shared agreement
-and action. Loomio is free to maximize access and inclusion, knowing
-that people who are on the margins of power are the least likely to
-have a voice. This session will engage participants in how Loomio
-works -- in fact they can sign up ahead of time to inform the session!
-I'll share lessons and challenges from cases across the 95 countries
-where citizen activists and workers are experimenting with better,
-fast platforms to collaborate. Participants will be inspired to use
-Loomio to support their groups.</p>
+<p>Patents, copyright and trademarks are sometimes conflated, and can all
+limit your freedoms to control your computing and lives. For right, we
+have an answer - copyleft. Patents are being fought on a number of
+fronts, and work continues. However, trademarks can also seriously
+hinder progress as well.</p>
+<p>Due to some specific clauses in the implementation of trademarks, it's
+hard to allow people to use the 'brand' without the potential for losing
+it. We need an easy and understood way of bringing the freedoms the GPL
+ensures to this third leg of intellectual property law.</p>
+<p>This talk will set out the background and problems with trademark
+implementation, how it's being (mis)used, and thoughts for what we need
+in the future.</p>
