-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
- e fight for free software adoption.

- routers\, and televisions\, they are all around us. Many of us don't think
- twice about the root of control in these devices\, or even the software t

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

+DESCRIPTION:Schools discard thousands of computers each year\, as hardware\r
+ moves off of service warranties or is no longer capable of running the la\r
+ test proprietary software. At the same time\, many schools are looking to \r
+ increase STEM curricula. The availability of surplus equipment and FLOSS s\r
+ oftware provides a unique opportunity for schools to enhance their technol\r
+ ogy-based educational programs. Using discarded computers\, kids can repai\r
+ r hardware\, build a local-area network\, install GNU/Linux\, install Libr\r
+ eOffice\, install GIMP\, and even code a bit. The project teaches kids by \r
+ doing. Once their projects are completed\, kids can take their computers h\r
+ ome\, for keeps. For under-served students\, where homework is done online\r
+ and projects are completed via the computer\, these rebuilt machines ensu\r
+ re access to education\, and provide a source of pride.\r

+DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 2017\, software powering the critical infrast\r
+ ructure of Ukraine came to a grinding halt after the country was hit with \r
+ a surgically precise targeted cyber attack. A malware virus called NotPety\r
+ a irreversibly encrypted the files of hundreds of thousands of computers. \r
+ The impact was devastating: the Chernobyl radiation moderating system was \r
+ shut down\, governmental institutions lost access to critical data\, and t\r
+ he total damage was estimated to cost over $100 million. This example\, am\r
+ ong others\, points to an increasing weaponization of vulnerabilities in p\r
+ roprietary software to accomplish these attacks. This session explores the\r
+ ways in which proprietary software acts as a catalyst for the spread of c\r
+ yber attacks\, and will explore the use of free software and how it can be\r
+ used to build resilient\, virus-resistant digital infrastructure.\r

+ eedom\, obviously\, but what others? A shared community? An open culture? \r
+ Within free software culture\, there is a perception and expectation of op\r
+ enness and collaboration within the community: all are welcome to the tabl\r
+ e\, and your contributions speak for you. When you get outside the communi\r
+ ty by enough\, however\, the answer changes. Contemptuous\, confusing\, el\r
+ itist\, and abrasive are words that some outsiders use to describe free so\r
+ ftware communities. Some go out of their way to avoid the communities we'v\r

+ auses of these opinions and attitudes\, as well as how to solve some them \r
+ and make our communities more approachable by outsiders by using real-worl\r
+ d examples of the good\, bad\, and the ugly. Building off a decade of comm\r

+DESCRIPTION:Elections in the US rely heavily on software. Whether we cast \r
+ our votes using a computer\, or on paper ballots that are then scanned\, s\r
+ oftware interprets our votes\, counts them\, tabulates the results\, and c\r
+ alls the winner. Almost all of this software is proprietary\, and owned by\r
+ a handful of large companies. A few jurisdictions have plans to move to f\r
+ ree software\, are funding its development\, or are already using it. I'll\r
+ give an overview of free software projects for election-related software \r
+ around the US\, with a focus on San Francisco's project\, where I'm on the\r
+ Technical Advisory Committee.\r

+DESCRIPTION:GeoNode\, a free software platform for building and sharing ma\r
+ ps\, has grown from an experimental project implemented after one disaster\r
+ \, to a public good currently in use in dozens of locations around the glo\r
+ be. The Global Facility for Disaster Resilience and Readiness (GFDRR) cont\r
+ ributed to this growth in multiple ways. This session presents an overview\r
+ of the history of GeoNode as a case study of institutional investment in \r
+ a free software project. GeoNode has helped people across the world own th\r
+ eir own data and respond to disasters.\r
