<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>Gamification is a concept that has flourished in the digital age. By leveraging the high interactivity and enticing incentives of game design with tight feedback loops, difficult concepts can be absorbed with little effort. But can a complex and controversial topic such as climate change be transformed into a fun and exciting learning opportunity? In this talk, we will explore how the philosophy of free software has been used to do exactly that by showing what we did to create and modify our own game and discuss how it can be applied in empowering educators and students to gamify their own interests.</p>

In this session, we present decentralized services designed around the principle of least authority: the 3NWeb free software protocols and client. 3NWeb use cases include encrypted messaging and storage, which we will demonstrate. The protocols can be run over anonymous networks such as Tor. We need to share our knowledge and collectively move our society to be more immune to crisis via increased deployment of free software. 3NWeb can help the world move one more step in that direction.</p>

Through metaphor and with a unique apprenticeship-based pedagogy, Tech Learning Collective (TLC) is empowering users by doing exactly what code boot camps and corporate-funded "learn to code" programs don't: TLC tells students to ignore new Web frameworks and focus instead on the lowest layers of an IT stack like physical network and hardware storage devices. At TLC, infrastructure is the heart of a free software curriculum eschewing common rush-to-employment training paradigms in favor of Socratic classrooms where practicing Bash commands seamlessly meld with lectures about Gnostic influences on Ethernet, the relationship between Gregorian chants and bootloaders, and more. Come see why and how TLC's holistic approach to IT education is creating communities of activist sysadmins out of people who wouldn't otherwise have called themselves "techies."</p>

While our first dip in the waters was tough -- installing a new OS, understanding new tools, rejecting proprietary options -- the path was clear: we were in control, we became users, contributors and owners of the tools we employed. With each project we set out to explore tools and principles, going beyond "open" towards a framing of copyleft and freedom in the graphic arts. 10 years went by and we want to underscore that anniversary by sharing our work, tools and stories of how we grew to love the GNU, and how free software ideals came to redefine our design practice, and are more relevant than ever today.</p>

In recent years, free software processor projects like RISC-V have pushed forward to construct free devices and computers. However, the radio connectivity of the device still relies on the black box silicons (WiFi, BLE, cellular chips). The Openwifi project (<a href="https://github.com/open-sdr/openwifi">https://github.com/open-sdr/openwifi</a>) aims to offer an free WiFi chip design that could act as the missing piece of the free software and hardware puzzle. As the initial step, the Openwifi project has implemented the 802.11a/g full-stack on an FPGA-based software defined radio (SDR) platform. The 802.11n feature is funded by NLnet and is under development. This presentation will give you the project overview and discuss the future of the project.</p>

<div class="abstract"><div class="webform-html-textarea"><p>Why is it that some free software projects, although started at the same time as comparable propriety projects, are still playing catch-up in terms of number of users and desired features? Features comparisons as well as the network effect and how well known a piece of software is play into this, but what features do users find most important? We can’t make “better” software until we know what features users actually care about. This talk will explore prominent examples of free software projects and look at how free software can stay ahead of the curve.</p>

It's used by dozens of news organizations including The Guardian, The Washington Post and The New York Times. This talk introduces the SecureDrop Workstation, the next-generation platform aimed at helping journalists communicate with sources in a high-security environment. Based on Qubes OS, the SecureDrop Workstation leverages Xen hypervisor isolation to manage sensitive source material safely, including viewing, archiving, and processing documents. The talk will review the results of the recent security audit focusing on the Workstation, and outline future directions for the project as it approaches general availability.</p>

Both rely on (often decentralized) groups of workers that commit to a higher purpose in the pursuit of building something that will advance people on a larger scale. I’ll discuss the ways that values of free software and labor movements complement one another. I will outline the practical technology needs of labor organizations that could be met by free software. Finally I will talk about what attendees can do to support labor movements with free software by describing some promising organizations looking to bridge the gap.</p>
