SUMMARY:Living liberated: Zero-to-hero
-DESCRIPTION:In a world in which we are surrounded by proprietary surveillance hardware and software\, it's now called resistance to live in liberty. Not only the device manufacturers\, but also people around us are forcing us to use proprietary software. Within these circumstances\, we are trying to liberate every single device that we are using one by one. For one\, we can free personal devices by setting up a home server (which is obviously running on free/libre hardware)\, we can host personal Web sites and run online services by ourselves. In this session\, we will share our experiences on this process\, discuss the benefits and the costs of this lifestyle\, and share brief suggestions to attendees who want to liberate and self-host their tech.

SUMMARY:Federated social media in the age of social distancing
-DESCRIPTION:Social media has become a staple of daily life\, playing a mayor role in the lives of millions. However\, it is highly centralized around a reduced number of platforms that trap their users. Over the years\, alternative platforms\, specifications and protocols have emerged\, proposing a decentralized and federated approach to social media. Therefore\, for my bachelor’s degree thesis\, I decided to perform research on the matter. \, I will try to show the results of this research. A brief history on the rise\, fall\, and rise (?) of decentralized social media\, what the specialized literature says about user retention\, critical views on the matter\, and\, most importantly\, what the actual social media users have to say about it.\, If you are interested in platforms like Mastodon or GNU social\, the future of the Internet\, or just think that Facebook is plain evil\, this might just interest you.

SUMMARY:The LibreVR Project
-DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately many VR games are nonfree software that only runs on Windows or the Oculus Quest. As an owner of a Talos II\, I want to play Libre VR games\, so I started porting existing free software such as the SlimeVR-Server to POSIX and Monado. This was the beginning of the LibreVR Project.\, Then I discovered the V-Sekai game which uses the Godot engine and the Meowality - CrossLink NX mixed reality hardware. I began porting Godot 4 to the POWER9 and thought about running the Libre-SOC gateware on the CrossLink NX FPGA.

SUMMARY:Survival of free software: Analyzing characteristics of free software in comparison to other software
-DESCRIPTION:Proprietary software earns sufficient amounts due to its hidden behavior. While it snatches the freedom away from the user\, it earns money for the developer and helps them survive. We discuss the characteristics of free software\, different business models that may or may not be compatible with it and find solutions to making free software survive independently.

SUMMARY:GNU poke\, the free extensible editor for structured binary data
-DESCRIPTION:GNU poke is an interactive editor for binary data. Not limited to editing basic entities such as bits and bytes\, it provides a full-fledged procedural\, interactive programming language designed to describe data structures and to operate on them. Once a user has defined a structure for binary data (usually matching some file format) she can search\, inspect\, create\, shuffle and modify abstract entities such as ELF relocations\, MP3 tags\, DWARF expressions\, partition table entries\, and so on\, with primitives resembling simple editing of bitsmand bytes. The program comes with a library of already written descriptions (or "pickles" in poke parlance) for many binary formats.

SUMMARY:Revitalizing Usenet
-DESCRIPTION:Usenet is a worldwide online discussion network that was established in 1980\, a decade before the World Wide Web. Unlike Web forums\, control of Usenet is not centralized\, but is rather distributed across an open federation of independent service providers. This makes the system transparent\, robust\, resistant to censorship\, and most importantly\, respectful of users' digital freedoms.\, This talk is presented on behalf of the recently reconstituted Big-8 Management Board\, the committee that administers Usenet's original discussion hierarchies. I will (re)introduce Usenet\, relate its history\, and explain how this venerable but still lively network has much to offer over modern-day discussion forums and social media platforms.

He discusses Haketilo's strategy for fixing the Web as compared to other Web extensions\, its use cases\, anticipated social hurdles\, future plans\, and the goal of creating a new\, simplified Web standard where user freedom is guaranteed.\, This presentation also serves as a call to arms. Developers experienced in HTML\, CSS\, or Javascript are encouraged to join the fight by submitting libre replacement scripts for their favorite Web sites. For Haketilo to achieve its goals\, it needs many contributors.\, 1. The link for the Haketilo project wiki is https://hydrillabugs.koszko.org/projects/haketilo/wiki\, 2. As displayed on the Web site\, it is also funded by nlnet.\, 3. Haketilo is working on becoming a GNU package.

-DESCRIPTION:There are four categories of economic goods: private goods\, club goods\, commons\, and public goods. Free software programs are public goods\, and they don't fit our market economy which relies on scarcity and exclusion.\, This talk will lay out a new way to understand the economic dilemmas with public goods. It will discuss how the typical language and models of economics work against the goals of software freedom. With this foundation\, we can start working on the challenge of how to build a new economy based on sharing and abundance.

SUMMARY:TZDB and some challenges of long data
-DESCRIPTION:The Time Zone Database (TZDB) is the primary technology for civil timekeeping conventions. It contains the complete history of the world’s civil time since 1970\, and copies of it reside in most of the planet’s cell phones and computers. It has been developed in the open with no use restrictions. TZDB is an example of “long data”: data intended to be used for a long time. Its main challenges come from version and downstream skew\, scope and format disagreements\, standardization\, intellectual property disputes\, institutional backing\, and politics. I will describe some of the these challenges in TZDB’s evolution.

SUMMARY:Design in the command line: Recipes for tasty outcomes
-DESCRIPTION:Designers brought up on conventional tools end up missing out on the arcane powers of the command line. Pipes\, shells\, scripts\, converters and parsers can be an integral part of a graphic designer's workflow\, requiring a shift in expectations from our tools. Likewise\, seasoned shell hackers might appreciate ways to connect their flows to create graphic outputs.\, As designers with 10+ years experience with free and libre software\, we've gone through a good amount of hacks and experiments to go beyond GUIs when creating visible outcomes\, and would like to share some pages out of our cookbook. Some of our proposed dishes are instant print-ready zines\, typographic animation for video credits\, font showcases\, generative vector graphics and shell mannerisms for quick batch tasks. We'll be making the most of exotic ingredients like ImageMagick\, PDFtk\, FFmpeg\, Makefiles or Git\, with a dash of Python and Bash scripting to bind flavors together.

SUMMARY:Toward the moral objectivity of GNU
-DESCRIPTION:This presentation will argue for the moral necessity of the GNU Project's "four software freedoms." This piece will be predominantly philosophical\, and will not contain much technical computer information.\, I will argue for the universality of the four freedoms among humans. I will do this by explaining how the GNU four freedoms are justified in a compelling picture of human nature.\, Darwin revolutionized our understanding of zoology in the 19th century. In his magnum opus\, On the Origin of the Species\, he demonstrated the process of "natural selection."\, Sadly\, much of his teachings have become distorted by a conception of natural selection\, inspired by Herbert Spencer. Darwin did not merely admit to competitive behavior environmental adaptations. He also held that organisms are able to cooperate through "mutual aid."\, In this piece\, I will explain how software freedom suits human nature better than the destructive and competitive nature of that which is proprietary.

SUMMARY:Living federation
-DESCRIPTION:What if a website that you use everyday suddenly makes a change that you are not comfortable with? You either put up with it or stop using it. But what if there was another server of the same service that you could simply switch to? Like your Internet's ISP? That would be cool\, right? Federated server software makes such kind of decentralization possible\, allowing users across different independent instances to communicate with each other. A lot of services that we commonly use in our daily lives have FOSS alternatives that support federation. Many are already using them and you should too if you aren't already. Let's have glance at some of the privacy-respecting options that we can use instead of those offered by Big-Tech.

While Android reuses the Linux kernel (sometimes with huge modifications)\, it uses almost no other components from GNU/Linux and a lot of the Android code was written from scratch.\, Since its creation in 2010\, most of the work in Replicant consisted of reusing an existing Android distribution\, and replacing or avoiding the nonfree hardware abstraction libraries that were shipped by the distribution it reused.\, The Replicant project has now changed focus and wants more independence from the device manufacturers and from the Android distributions it's based on.\, In order to be accessible to people with less technical background\, this talk will first explain the hardware architecture of smartphones and Android (and what is an hardware abstraction library) and will then talk about the directions taken by the Replicant project.\, There will also be time for questions.

SUMMARY:Distributing freedom: How package managers empower software users

SUMMARY:Building a Liberated Home - for myself and others
-DESCRIPTION:Building and living a free life isn't easy. Not only do we need to keep reminding ourselves about our reasons for choosing free/libre software\, but also about being mindful when choosing the right hardware to run free software on. It's easy to run free software when we have complete control over our hardware\, but when the hardware limits or controls what software can be run on it\, it also eliminates our ability to choose free software.\, Unless we choose our hardware carefully\, we will slowly run out of places to run free software. Hence\, the necessity to build a "liberated home".\, When the software that defines and controls the device is proprietary\, it eliminates our ability to repair or extend the device and renders the hardware unusable for a free software user.\, This talk will detail methods\, practices\, advice and solutions for common technology requirements in a typical home. It will also attempt to offer suggestions on how we can help others after we've solved some of these problems for ourselves.

SUMMARY:Reducing Internet address waste: The IPv4 unicast extensions project
-DESCRIPTION:The classic version of the Internet Protocol\, IPv4\, supports only about 4.2 billion of the numeric addresses used to identify computers.\, The Internet's success means we've now run out of new addresses. While we wait for more adoption of IPv6\, there's huge demand for IPv4 addresses\, especially from public Web services and their hosts. Old address blocks have been resold for millions of dollars\, with prices approaching $50 per address.\, Standards from the 1980s reserved several hundred million addresses for "future use" and other purposes\, which are now going to waste. Reversing this is an involved task\; software and devices have often deliberately rejected any use of reserved addresses.\, The IPv4 Unicast Extensions Project is proposing software and standards changes to eventually make those reserved addresses usable. Some of our changes have been accepted in systems including GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. This presentation will describe what we've done and what still needs to happen.
+DESCRIPTION:Seth Schoen - The classic version of the Internet Protocol\, IPv4\, supports only about 4.2 billion of the numeric addresses used to identify computers.\, The Internet's success means we've now run out of new addresses. While we wait for more adoption of IPv6\, there's huge demand for IPv4 addresses\, especially from public Web services and their hosts. Old address blocks have been resold for millions of dollars\, with prices approaching $50 per address.\, Standards from the 1980s reserved several hundred million addresses for "future use" and other purposes\, which are now going to waste. Reversing this is an involved task\; software and devices have often deliberately rejected any use of reserved addresses.\, The IPv4 Unicast Extensions Project is proposing software and standards changes to eventually make those reserved addresses usable. Some of our changes have been accepted in systems including GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. This presentation will describe what we've done and what still needs to happen.

SUMMARY:Baby steps to freedom
-DESCRIPTION:Teaching others about free software is challenging and often requires continual encouragement to convince another person to appreciate the ideals of the free software movement. This can be a time-consuming process\; however\, William has a simple strategy to get others onboard faster without the need for lengthy explanations of freedom vs. proprietary comparisons. The solution: baby steps! Start small by recommending a person to use just one free software application instead of a proprietary application they are using currently. \, To do this properly\, you need to be able to effectively -- and quickly -- explain the what\, why\, and how to get them to use that free software application. Because we're taking a "baby steps" approach\, you may need to temporarily sacrifice other worthy goals\, such as anti-DRM advocacy. However\, once a person switches to the free software application\, you can then help them take more baby steps (e.g.\, through anti-DRM campaigning).

SUMMARY:Why we feel it is a liberation experience to take part to the Open Hardware PowerPC Notebook project
-DESCRIPTION:The design of a PowerPC based notebook from scratch is quite a challenge for a group of hobbyists as we are. Making it fully compliant with the Open Hardware principles and based on GNU/Linux is even more complicated. As an example\, the availability of fully free software drivers must be carefully checked for every electronic component. This speech will illustrate the reasons and motivations that made us undertake this challenge\, and what we are learning from it.

SUMMARY:Sxmo: Freedom on mobile devices through simplicity and hackability
-DESCRIPTION:Proprietary smartphone platforms today are a duopoly (Google's Android and Apple's iOS) that takes away user freedom. Unfortunately\, in many relationships today\, one is expected to have a smartphone and consequently surrender their freedoms to one of these proprietary software vendors. Sxmo is a simple free software mobile interface that you can hack to fit your needs. It encourages the use of free software throughout with postmarketOS and Alpine Linux. This presentation will go over the system and new developments.

SUMMARY:The Net beyond the web
-DESCRIPTION:The modern web is filled to the brim with complexity\, no shortage of nonfree software\, and malware. Many\, many people have written and spoken at length on these issues and their implications and negative effects on users' freedom\, privacy\, and digital autonomy. With the advent of technologies like WebAssembly\, the modern day Web browser has effectively become an operating system of its own\, along with all the issues and complexities of operating systems and then some. Opening arbitrary websites with a typical Web browser amounts to downloading an executing [mostly nonfree] software on your machine. But is all of this complexity really necessary? Is all of this needed to achieve the web's original purpose\, an information system for relaying documents (and now media)? What if there was a way to do away with all of these complexities and go back to the basics?\, In this talk we will examine the Internet beyond the modern web\, some possibilities of what that might look like with concrete examples from protocols like Gopher from time immemorial\, and more recent experiments and reimaginations of it in today's world\, such as Gemini and Spartan. The talk will give a brief tour of these protocols and their histories\, what they have to offer\, and why one might want to use them in the 21st century.

SUMMARY:The media ecology of source code access
-DESCRIPTION:Drawing on a vast array of sources -- including the works of Marshall McLuhan\, Neil Postman\, Jean Baudrillard\, Sherry Turkle\, Olia Lialina\, Don Norman\, Kenneth Gergen\, Alan Kay -- I propose that the history of the GNU General Public License\, the GNU Project\, and the Free Software Foundation are ripe for integration into a study of the arts and humanities which overcomes decades of corporate and commercial propaganda situating the subject within a groundless\, shifting post-modern and post-human landscape lorded over by technological shamans and “geniuses” like Steve Jobs\, Bill Gates\, Mark Zuckerberg\, etc.
