-SUMMARY:Freedom hardware: Current state and forward looking statements
-DESCRIPTION:V. Alex Brennen - The RISC-V architecture and ecosystem have undergone tremendous growth recently. We will take a look at the current state of RISC-V and its current deployment footprint. We'll discuss where RISC-V may be headed and the role it may play in completely open and free datacenter servers\, tablets\, and cellphones. We will review the emergence of the ARM architecture and how in may be an important stepping stone to a free computing platform. We'll discuss the differences between the ARM licensing model and the X86_64 architecture licensing model as well as the role of ARM processors in cell phones and cloud datacenters (such as AWS). Finally\, we'll take a brief look at some options for starting RISC-V free and open hardware development for both experienced FPGA programmers and newbies. We'll explain options including physical RISC-V processors\, FPGAs\, and software emulation.

-SUMMARY:Free licensing of trademarks. A tool to expand the scope of free licenses to a wider scope of works. Including physical objects.
-DESCRIPTION:Julian Daich - Trademarks provide a proprietary association of goods with an image or rhetoric. The free licensing of trademarks enables the identification of free works with free trademarks and the inclusion of proprietary trademarks only under the developers' permission. This conditional permission allows revenue channels for developers as well as the establishment of quality stamps.

-SUMMARY:Warpforge -- a tool for reproducible, hermetic builds
-DESCRIPTION:Eric Myhre & Eric Evenchick - Warpforge is a new tool for building software in a reproducible and collaborative way. It emphasizes predictable environments, and produces this by creating a controlled environment populated entirely by materials identified by cryptographic hash. All the build information is designed to be complete, be serializable, and also easily be shared. Communicating build (and *re*build) information to friends and colleagues is easy. Within this system, we produce a new suite of packages and build instructions which are reproducible, and produce binaries which can easily be consumed in any linux system.

-SUMMARY:Education and the future of software freedom
-DESCRIPTION:Erin Rose Glass - As the political stakes of digital technology become increasingly apparent\, it’s clear that an ethical approach to software use and development is more important than ever. While a number of organizations and advocates are doing important work to advance ethical forms of software practice\, we continue to miss one of the key sites where software habits and expectations are reinforced and normalized at scale\, that is\, institutions of education.\, In this talk\, I will discuss the inadvertent role higher education plays in teaching students to passively accept broad forms of digital surveillance and control through its use of popular educational technologies like learning management systems\, word processing software\, and test taking tools\, and how this submission leads to the broader mass helplessness in the face of current technological struggles. Starting with my chance encounter with free software as a humanities graduate student\, I will highlight a range of promising contemporary examples of experiments in higher education that push against exploitative trends in educational technology and expose students to the differentiating value and possibility of software freedom. As we chart the course of the future of software\, these examples shine light on the importance of educational institutions in the struggle for software freedom and the urgent need for broader community support to help sustain and encourage these precarious endeavors.

-SUMMARY:Free Software for Non-Developers
-DESCRIPTION:James Gregora - The four freedoms encompass the rights to use\, modify\, copy\, and redistribute modified copies. Yet most software users have no intention of ever modifying software\, let alone redistributing modified copies of their software. So why should these freedoms be of any concern to them? Over the past three decades\, the number of users has increased by several orders of magnitude. Proprietary software has become the predominant form of software\, to the extent that many ordinary users are surprised when they learn that a particular piece of software is free rather than proprietary. While this is a significant negative development\, the widespread adoption of software by less technically oriented people presents a unique opportunity: it means that nearly everyone in the developed world has a personal stake in the future of software freedom.\, This talk elaborates on the personal stake that ordinary users have in the future of free software\, and how the movement can express the importance of its ideas to those who are not particularly technically inclined. The presentation focuses on the underlying ethical questions posed by the widespread use of nonfree software\, and will propose various ways to communicate these concerns in layman's terms.

-SUMMARY:Emacs for P2P Deliberation
-DESCRIPTION:Joseph Turner - The ushin project explores Org mode for peer-to-peer deliberation. Ushin offers the seven shapes (or kinds of meaning) deliberative structure for mutual understanding by distinguishing facts\, feelings\, needs\, thoughts\, topics\, actions\, and people. When communicating over the hyperdrive peer-to-peer network\, you have full control over your data. With no central authority to censor "misinformation\," decision-making power is distributed. A subjective moderation system inspired by TrustNet makes it easy to find sources\, of information you can trust. Org mode is already an effective tool for organizing personal knowledge\, and we want to use it to deliberate collective issues. Ushin combines these ideas into a fun and easy-to-use plain-text system for discussing important issues free of censorship\, bots\, and trolls through community curation.

-SUMMARY:Topographical maps for all!
-DESCRIPTION:Anaximander Miletus - Outdoor sports are enjoyed by many people but access is restricted by regulations. Unlike most countries where I live mapping activities are forbidden by state. The lack of accurately made topographical maps led many years of mine and fellow outdoor lovers wander around in the wilderness blindly. Dangerously depending on poorly made\, inaccurate drawings of the field to circumvent the law or inaccessible\, expensive and non-free mapping devices and software. Finally being fed up by this fact\, I decided to seek the answer if free software and knowledge can liberate people's navigation.

-SUMMARY:The long history of metrics before and after cybernetics
-DESCRIPTION:Clinton Ignatov - The freedom-granting power of GPL derives from the way it situates the electronic computer within the long-standing human institution of the court of law. It is this human side of the equation — not the technical side — which needed addressing in order to stake-out and claim the ground within which users have been liberated.\, What other areas of the humanities\, civilization\, and our human condition need to be considered and addressed in order to expand the mission for computing freedom\, and diminish the power of total surveillance?\, In this long historical overview\, we will consider the arc of technical innovation from the invention of the printing press and telegraph\, through to cybernetics\, up to "big data" today. Through this telling\, our focus will be on the psychological effects of these inventions\, and the cultural responses and remedies toward those effects\, in order to give context to our own place and time.

-SUMMARY:Safety-critical software certification and why free software\, might be the best solution
-DESCRIPTION:Dr. William Cooper Davidon - In safety-critical software\, mistakes and errors can be lethal. Recent accidents with the Boeing 737 Max Aircraft illustrate the failure of proprietary software required to have undergone careful review following the F.A.A.'s DO-178x certification process. Governments and the people they represent must strongly consider requiring free software to be used for safety-critical code implementations. Free software offers transparency and a much higher level of review than what is possible with proprietary software.

-SUMMARY:Taking control over the means of production: Free software boot
-DESCRIPTION:Denis Carikli - The computers we use run different type of software. Many people know about applications (like VLC or LibreOffice) or operating systems (like GNU/Linux or Android).\, But there is also software running before the operating system is even started (like BIOS\, UEFI\, the Management Engine or the PSP operating systems). They give the hardware manufacturers an enormous amount of control over the computers used by users\, even if users use FSF-approved GNU/Linux distributions like Trisquel and Parabola. That control is for instance often used by hardware manufacturers to give companies the ability to remotely control users computers through features like AMT\, and that control is independent of the operating system running on the computer. After giving some background for less technical users\, we will look from a user point of view why and how to avoid nonfree software in that area.

-SUMMARY:Questions are the answer\, how to have deeper conversations with anyone about free software philosophy.
-DESCRIPTION:Lori Nagel - The hardest part about promoting the free software philosophy is getting people interested enough in the conversation to listen even if they aren't already excited about technology topics. However\, most people use software today\, yet have complaints and fears about it. \, Instead of merely waiting around for the conversation to turn into a discussion about software usage or technology woes and fears\, it helps to come up with powerful questions that can turn conversations about anything into conversations about software and why it needs to have the four freedoms\, yet still keeping it engaging for all participants so that it is relevant. \, This discussion will be about taking topics people like to discuss and turning them into freedom respecting software topics by relating them whatever people are currently talking about using audience supplied examples. These discussions can take place in forums or chat\, online or in person.

-SUMMARY:Life 0.01 - Free software for the end times
-DESCRIPTION:Kevin Shockey - Puerto Rico is a beautiful place. One that is suffering. The calamities do not cease. Some were man-made\, like financial bankruptcy. Others have been earthquakes and hurricanes. Compared to most states\, Puerto Rico is facing extreme conditions. Life is tough. For many here\, these are the end of times. Puerto Ricans live in austerity and hyper-inflation. We have food shortages as well as power and water outages. Our roads and bridges are crumbling with each major rainfall. Can free software help? I propose a new application of free software. An application to help human beings to stay alive. To stay alive people need access to information and resources. They need to know how to provide food\, water\, and shelter\; or where to find them. They need pioneer skills to live off of the land. The need to connect and reconnect. They need Life 0.01.

-SUMMARY:Free software for environmental sciences
-DESCRIPTION:Weiming Hu - "Open science" is a movement that promotes the freedom to share knowledge and data in science. Its recent success largely depends on our ability to reproduce and then improve on existing research products. It is about ensuring that researchers have sufficient access to information and the necessary tools for analysis. This movement goes hand in hand with the free software movement\, as it has the potential to revolutionize sciences by providing powerful tools for data analysis\, modeling\, and visualization. I would like to focus my talk on the connection and missing links between free software and open science\, particularly in environmental and data sciences. The talk is devoted to raising awareness and promoting conversations on how we can better advance sciences with free software and knowledge sharing.

-SUMMARY:The Nym mixnet: Free foftware to end mass surveillance
-DESCRIPTION:Ahmed Ghappour - The Nym mixnet is a new privacy infrastructure for an anonymous overlay software to resist mass surveillance. Like a VPN\, it is compatible with generic internet apps. In contrast to a VPN and Tor\, even a global passive adversary that has a "God’s eye view" cannot determine who sent a message over Nym to whom. We will review the design and codebase\, and demonstrate its usage for use-cases such as e-mail and instant messaging\, as well as how to run your own mix mode on GNU/Linux to provision privacy - and freedom - for others.

-SUMMARY:Federation and moderation: Usenet as the original decentralized social network
-DESCRIPTION:Rayner Lucas - Today's social media users are locked into proprietary platforms\, under the control of a few large corporations. Users are not customers\, but a product to be sold to advertisers. These companies have little reason to care about fostering healthy discussion\, only to keep advertisers happy. But there is another model for social media. Federated social networks began with Usenet\, a distributed system of discussion forums invented a decade before the World Wide Web. Since then\, projects such as Mastodon and Diaspora have used open standards and common communication protocols to give users power to choose their own social media experience. What lessons can we learn from Usenet? What does it get right\, and what could it do better? And does Usenet still have a place on the modern Internet?

-SUMMARY:BigCode: open and responsible research on Code Generating AI Systems
-DESCRIPTION:Harm de Vries - While code generating AI systems like CoPilot have emerged as a powerful tool for professional developers\, there are growing legal and ethical concerns around the development of these models. Questions have been raised as to whether these AI models respect current free software licenses both for model training and generation and what the social impact of this technology is on the free software community. \, The BigCode project is a scientific collaboration (with over 350 participants) working on the responsible development of code generating AI systems. In this talk\, we discuss how we navigate the legal-ethics-governance aspects around the development of these models\, including how we developed a permissively licensed code dataset\, give developers the option to remove their code from the training data\, redact personally identifiable information (PII)\, and attribute generated programs to the original code snippet.

-SUMMARY:Problems in the fediverse: Organization
-DESCRIPTION:Tomat 0 - The biggest problem that faces the Fediverse right now is the same one that faces a lot of other free-software initiatives. Not mindshare\, not features\, but one of contribution: how do we encourage people to contribute\, how do we make it easier to contribute\, and how do we ensure our efforts are coordinated towards what is most needed for the ecosystem? This presentation will focus on lessons I’ve learned over the years in my involvement\, lessons learned from the recent Twitter exodus\, and how this ties back to the importance of organization.

-SUMMARY:WorldVistA EHR version of the Department of Veterans Affairs Electronic Health Record
-DESCRIPTION:Nancy Anthracite - WorldVistA EHR is a slightly modified version of the Department of Veterans Affairs Electronic Health Record\, VistA. VistA is currently in the process of being replaced by Oracle Cerner by the VA\, but implementation of the new system is currently on hold because it is not preforming up to expectations. Meanwhile\, VistA is in use in many places internationally\, with the largest implementation in the country of Jordan. The largest implementation in the U.S. is at Central Regional Hospital\, a state mental health hospital in North Carolina. It will fall upon the free software community to keep this comprehensive free software EHR available in the future.

-SUMMARY:Should developers get paid for their work?
-DESCRIPTION:Agaric Technology Collective - There is a great challenge around payment for building platforms and working on free software projects. Sometimes a client will pay for development and other times there are unfunded projects that are built for community use by volunteers. What are some good business models that financially support the developers? Is an infrastructure needed to support payment for working on free software projects? Could OpenCollective be a path for sponsoring multiple development projects for teams of developers?

-DESCRIPTION:Adrian Cochrane - In their pursuit to turn a beautiful document publishing system into a modern web browsers have become incredibly complex\, to the extent that it becomes impractical to exercise your software freedoms to study\, modify\, share\, & share your modifications. Even once all dominant engines are nominally free software.\, This talk will explore my journey building alternative browser engines\, how they can be made appealing despite limited capability\, the benefits to the free software ecosystem\, and how you can help bring a JavaScript-free web into reality.

-SUMMARY:It’s time to jailbreak the farm
-DESCRIPTION:Paul Roberts - Farmers large and small in the U.S. are being crushed under the thumb of “BigAg” equipment makers whose late model farm machinery combines sensors\, always-on Internet connections\, software and Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) to vacuum up and monetize proprietary farm data\, while simultaneously preventing farmers from being able to service and repair their own equipment. Farmers who own late model equipment today are required to patronize “authorized” technicians at the expense of independent repair and are forced to pay astronomical prices for even routine maintenance. What’s needed is a way to free farmers from the grip of these monopolies with free software and usurious OEM-operated software ecosystems. This panel will bring together experts on farming and farm equipment\, embedded device security and policy (e.g. right to repair) to discuss ways to liberate farmers with free software.

-DESCRIPTION:Ian Kelling - A panel of people who care about software freedom\, and have have somewhat recently gone through a job search. They will discuss and share their experience\, offer some advice\, and involve the audience.\, There is a vast array of ways to advance free software while looking after your finances\, but in this talk\, our focus will be on finding employment doing technical work and issues encountered there.\, For example: How much conflict with free software values do you accept in a company and for what price? What about ethical differences between your individual work vs the employer's overall business model?

-SUMMARY:The future of the right to repair and free software
-DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Chamberlain - The fight for our Right to Repair our stuff has gained momentum\, but we can’t stop at parts and manuals — we need software access\, too. This is obvious to farmers with tractors locked down in “limp mode” at harvest time and iPhone repair shops that can’t dismiss annoying warnings. Manufacturers are hiding more and more repairs behind software locks. We’re fighting them every step of the way\, from state legislatures to GPL enforcement lawsuits. When repair professionals and device owners don’t have access to the software they need to complete a repair\, they’ve got slim choices: Admit defeat and send the thing to recycling? Hack your way through it? Join the fight for the Right to Repair?\, We’re winning that fight\, and manufacturers are on their back foot like never before. The first-ever digital repair bill passed in New York in December. Despite the ways the New York bill got narrowed by lobbyists\, we’re excited that it will require manufacturers to provide access to whatever software is necessary to complete a repair. Meanwhile\, the European Union has passed several repair reforms. France now requires manufacturers to post repair scores at the point of sale. And the Software Freedom Conservancy got a federal court to agree that individual consumers should have the right to the source code of anything operating under the GPL. Oh yeah\, and Sick Codes showed off Doom running on a Deere tractor at DefCon. Manufacturers with unjust repair practices\, watch out!\, Free software would give us the freedom to repair the brains of all our software-enabled devices. But without it\, we need research to keep manufacturers honest. Exploits like Sick Codes’s Deere jailbreak help call attention to the vulnerability of security through obscurity\, which is always the way manufacturers defend proprietary software and unjust repair practices. Other hacks\, like ChuxMan’s hack of his washing machine firmware\, point to places where manufacturers are letting consumers down.\, Free software and the Right to Repair movement share a heart: When you buy something\, you should own it. You should have the right to open it\, look inside it\, examine what makes it tick—and maybe even make it tick in a new way.
