+ Edward Snowden is a former intelligence officer who served the CIA, NSA, and DIA for nearly a decade as a subject matter expert on technology and cybersecurity. In 2013, he revealed the NSA was unconstitutionally seizing the private records of billions of individuals who had not been suspected of any wrongdoing, resulting in the largest debate about reforms to US surveillance policy since 1978. Today, he works on methods of enforcing human rights through the application and development of new technologies. He joined the board of Freedom of the Press Foundation in February 2014.

+ Richard is a software developer and software freedom activist. In 1983 he announced the project to develop the
+ <a href="https://www.gnu.org">
+ GNU operating system
+ </a>
+ , a Unix-like operating system meant to be entirely free software, and has been the project's leader ever since. With that announcement Richard also launched the Free Software Movement. In October 1985 he started the Free Software Foundation.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Since the mid-1990s, Richard has spent most of his time in political advocacy for free software, and spreading the ethical ideas of the movement, as well as campaigning against both software patents and dangerous extension of copyright laws. Before that, Richard developed a number of widely used software components of GNU, including the original Emacs, the GNU Compiler Collection, the GNU symbolic debugger (gdb), GNU Emacs, and various other programs for the GNU operating system.

+ 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.

- This strategic action session is for anyone interested in the solidarity economy and asset-based community development. We'll compare notes, network, and outline the ecosystem of services needed to support the operations of worker co-operatives, alt currencies, time banking, and other democratic economic initiatives. We'll also explore how open source technology can help activists organize and manage investment strategies, alliances, and information resources. Hopefully both hardware and software solutions will be discussed. I will facilitate the session and am open to the "unconference" style, where the content of the session is decided by whoever shows up. That said, I will plan to share my experiences with the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative and other civic technology activities, with an emphasis on the challenges of designing technology for people without a background in technology. Security, control, and sustainability will be core concepts.

+ The full potential of free software is to break down the barriers to technology and to participation, and to include users and contributors from a wide range of backgrounds. There are four key steps for making communities diverse and inclusive: creating a welcoming environment, teaching skills, fostering connections, and increasing visibility of contributors from underrepresented backgrounds. Whether you are a prospective contributor wondering what an inclusive community looks like, a project contributor wanting to take concrete steps to improve your project's outreach, or a project leader looking to create a diversity strategy for your community, this talk will have the information you need. Marina will share best practices and inspiring stories from her years of experience in free software diversity outreach in roles including outreach specialist at Red Hat, co-organizer of Outreachy, advisor and director for the Ada Initiative, and outreach lead for GNOME.

While individual researchers have contributed greatly to free software, they usually do so outside of the scope of their regular jobs and to the detriment of their academic careers.

+ Being a free software user isn't easy, especially when you're a college student. I spent a year at a school that taught Visual Basic as its primary programming language for freshmen and sophomores, where "Introduction to Programming" was an overview of the Windows OS, and where most of the professors would only accept papers typed in Times New Roman -- and I survived. In this session, I'll give students tips for making it through college while still adhering to the values we hold as free software users -- including alternative fonts, making a GNU/Linux live disk for use on public computers, avoiding the "Netflix and Chill" dilemma, and most importantly, ways to discuss free software with professors and fellow students. After leaving this session, students will feel empowered and able to hold their own as free users in a proprietary campus.

+ 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.

In fiction, we have often faced our fear that human-created machines will become intelligent enough to turn against us and become the dominant species in the planet. As technology develops, The Singularity may seem to be in the very near future, but it's already happened: intelligent man-made creatures have defeated the checks meant to keep them under control, corrupted our laws and governments, and turned most of us into their much-needed servants, now living in an alternate reality they created to enslave us, while in reality the planet can hardly support our life much longer. As to keeping computers under our control, these very creatures sent their agents back to attack the leaders of our resistance, and they have turned many of our weapons against us, vaporizing our freedoms and information into a dark cloud. We still have one card left up our sleeves to tame these creatures, but we need your help to play it successfully. Will you come and join us?

User freedom is threatened by the growing complexity of current deployment and packaging directions. Running software (especially server/networked software) is becoming too hard for the average user, so many users are turning to the dangerous path of relying on large corporations to do their computing for them. What can GNU do to turn the tide here? Enter GNU Guix and GuixSD! This talk will walk through Guix's unique positioning to provide totally free and reproducible systems. A path will be laid out on how Guix could be used as a foundation for easy to run and maintain computing for everyone, how you can get Guix and GuixSD running, and how to get involved in the most hacking-friendly package manager/distro duo ever!

The surveillance state is driven by secrecy. But everything leaves a data trail and the intelligence community itself is no exception- even the NSA is vulnerable to surveillance. Transparency Toolkit is a free software project that helps anyone investigate surveillance programs.
</p>
By making tools to help collect and analyze publicly available data like resumes, job listings, social media, and government contracts, we are using free software and open data to track and expose the surveillance state. In this talk, I'll discuss some of the interesting things we've found, how Transparency Toolkit's software works, and how people can use our tools to investigate issues they care about.

- In order to gain support, the first step we must take is to engage with the public on how non-free software can affect their everyday lives in negative ways. Even the most non-technical person can become engaged with the the social and technical benefits to free software, if given the chance. This session will discuss how each and every one of us in the free software movement can engage with others, promoting the ideals of a society running on free software in a way that each person can personally appreciate.
+ How do we connect our community to other groups? In order to gain support, the first step we must take is to engage with the public on how
+non-free software can affect their everyday lives negatively. Even the most non-technical person can become engaged with the social and
+technical benefits to free software, if given the chance. This session will discuss how each and every one of us in the free software movement
+can engage with others, promoting the ideals of a society running on free software in a way that each person can personally appreciate.

+ What could possibly make thousands of free software advocates, ham radio operators, researchers and physicians stand together? One obscure FCC rulemaking proposal on wireless radios. Eric Schultz, one of the leaders of the Save Wifi Initiative, discusses the details of the extreme proposals of FCC to control how you use your devices. You'll learn the history of regulators quietly locking down wireless radios and how it's unintentionally extending to a lockdown of the operating systems of devices. Finally, you'll find out some of the problems with proposed workarounds for the the FCC lock down proposals.

- <h3 id="stallman">Richard Stallman</h3>
- <p>Richard is a software developer and software freedom activist. In 1983 he announced the project to develop the <a href="https://gnu.org">GNU operating system</a>, a Unix-like operating system meant to be entirely free software, and has been the project's leader ever since. With that announcement Richard also launched the Free Software Movement. In October 1985 he started the Free Software Foundation.</p>
-
- <p>Since the mid-1990s, Richard has spent most of his time in political advocacy for free software, and spreading the ethical ideas of the movement, as well as campaigning against both software patents and dangerous extension of copyright laws. Before that, Richard developed a number of widely used software components of GNU, including the original Emacs, the GNU Compiler Collection, the GNU symbolic debugger (gdb), GNU Emacs, and various other programs for the GNU operating system.</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>
