 			<p>TAFTA, CETA, and TISA are far-reaching trade agreements posing major threats to online freedom and creating legal uncertainty for all Internet players. They set forth an ever stronger protection of copyright and patents. They 'recycle' the most toxic parts of ACTA, the anti-counterfeiting trade agreement which was rejected in 2012. The presentation focuses on the software aspects of TAFTA, CETA, TISA. We will call for action against these global treaty projects and offer alternative proposals, which favour Free Software Everywhere.</p>

 			<p>I took part in the Outreach Program for Women as an intern in 2013, and became a mentor for the same program in 2014. This talk intends to voice my experience with the GNOME initiative, as well as my thoughts and concerns around the program as a student, a mentor, and a professional in the free software domain, and as an earnest observer of the chaos that is formally called "The Internet." With a focus on the Why, the What and the How of the Gender Gap in free software, the talk ventures answers to those, as conveyed by the OPW initiative.</p>

-	<p>Reusing works licensed under free licenses seems pretty simple, but it can often be quite time consuming. One image or a few lines of source code might be okay, but keeping track of the license and attribution of a thousand different pieces, or when quoting from massive data sets such as Wikipedia? Whoah! Don’t we have computers to do that for us!? We do, but there’s no widespread support for including licensing or author information when sharing or reusing digital works. This session will discuss how this should work in a free knowledge environment, and could it be that many problems regarding copyright and "piracy" in our digital society could be solved with free software?</p>
-
-	<p>In order to relate effectively to the digital works we see online, attribution (who made or built something) matters. Proper attribution is the start of being able to explore digital works online in their right context. This talk will focus on the philosophical background of why attribution matters, the benefits that free software can bring to the way we work with pieces of art (lolcats and Shakespeare alike), and where we're heading in the future.</p>

-<span class="session-speaker"><a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#kuhn">Bradley Kuhn</a></span>

-<p>The SAFE Network is a completely decentralized and free Internet infrastructure. Almost a decade in the making, this network comes with many features focused on privacy, security and freedom for all users. A built-in cryptocurrency creates an ecosystem which not only sustains its decentralized structure and the development of applications but also will enable a digital economy which has never been able to exist before. Imagine what it would have been like if the world wide web launched with a built-in cryptocurrency and what effects that would have on digital ownership. The SAFE Network will replace dependence on servers for secure storage and computation with a decentralized, autonomous network of individuals providing these resources. This session will give a brief technical overview of the network and an understanding of the underlying ecosystem.

-<p>Many free software projects are interested in growing their user and contributor bases, but it can be hard to know where to start. This workshop will go over some key first steps to growing a friendly and diverse community, such as:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>Making sure your “Getting Started” materials, such as installation and contributor guides, are accurate and accessible</li>
-<li>Running quick user tests and processing the feedback</li>
-<li>Promoting your project through social media and in-person events</li>
-</ul>
-
-
-<p>After an introductory presentation, the audience will break out into groups and work on activities designed to make taking these steps as easy as possible. Individuals will have the opportunity to try out multiple activities. Those who do not currently have a free software project to contribute to will be paired with those who do, and can learn these useful skills to apply in the future.</p>
-
-<p>At the end of the workshop, there will be a wrap-up presentation which will also briefly cover a wide range of additional tools, tips, and resources for growing and diversifying your community.</p>

-<p>The current distance between those who organize their activism to develop “technical infrastructures” and those who bring their struggles becomes especially evident in the pragmatic spirit of getting things done. "Radical" activists may turn to services provided by Fortune 500 companies, while alternative tech initiatives sustained by a select (visionary and male) few may remain insistent on crypto with 9-lives. Through a close study of digital self-defense campaign sites, we want to pause to explore other modes of collaboration.</p>

-<h3>Librarians fight back: free software solutions for digital privacy</h3>
-<span class="session-speaker"><a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#glaser">April Glaser</a>, <a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#macrina">Alison Macrina</a></span>
-<p>Librarians all over the country are affirming their commitment to digital privacy rights by using and teaching free software tools in their libraries. This initiative -- the Library Freedom Project -- was started by IT librarian Alison Macrina and staff of the ACLU, who have been visiting privacy-loving librarians in different states to show them how freedom of speech and the right to privacy are compromised by digital surveillance, and what new privacy-protecting free software services libraries can offer to shield patrons from unwanted surveillance of their online activity. In this session, organizers from the Library Freedom Project will talk about how the project is unfolding, how developers can support the adoption of free software privacy tools at libraries, and what kinds of relationships need to form for these initiatives to be sustainable.</p>

-<h3>Rock your Emacs</h3>
-<span class="session-speaker"><a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#sturmfels">Ben Sturmfels</a></span>
-<p>Do you love Emacs, but have never understood the strange code with lots of brackets? You're missing out on one of the great joys of Emacs — customising it to work exactly the way you want. It turns out that Emacs is little more than an interpreter for Lisp code interpreter, and once you know a little Emacs Lisp, almost anything is possible.</p>
-
-<p>After attending this tutorial, you will know how to:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>make persistent customisations to your Emacs</li>
-<li>read basic Emacs Lisp code</li>
-<li>modify Emacs Lisp code as well as writing your own</li>
-<li>customise behaviour for distinct modes</li>
-<li>bind your favourite commands to keys</li>
-<li>answer your own questions with the amazing documentation system</li>
-<li>use built-in Emacs Lisp development tools like the debugger</li>
-<li>write your own reusable modules for Emacs customisations</li>
-</ul>
-<p>This workshop will be enjoyed most if you already have a little programming experience.</p>

-<h3>Schooling in the free software sandbox: new directions in K-12 education</h3>
-<span class="session-speaker"><a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#hassani">Sara Hassani</a></span>
-<p>The last few years have seen an explosion among pop cultural messages that “coding” for kids is cool. We have witnessed the rise of coding bootcamps, coding MOOCs, and proprietary coding environments. Yet, these developments often fail to recognize how programming literacy can be used to realize more fundamental educational goals. In this session, we discuss the essential role of free software in cultivating educational values, and the challenges that must be overcome to make this vision a reality.</p>

-<h3>Shared values: journalism and free software</h3>
-<span class="session-speaker"><a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#decausemaker">Remy DeCausemaker</a>, <a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#hickerson">Andrea Hickerson</a>, <a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#owens">Erika Owens</a></span>
-<p>Free software and journalism have a long and rich history of informing one another and the Web at large. These communities share many values: transparency, objectivity, skepticism, and dogged pursuit of solutions, particularly ones that help improve our understanding of and access to the world. We'll talk about what these values look like in newsrooms (including the coding side of news) and where there are opportunities for these groups to learn from and reinforce these common values. Journalism drives a huge portion of what we read on the Web, so let's chat about the values that drive both that reporting and development work.</p>

-<h3>Some people worth listening to: lightning talks</h3>
-<span class="session-speaker"><a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#de-blanc">Molly de Blanc</a></span>
-<p>This session of curated lightning talks will bring new speakers to the podium as well as familiar faces talking about non-familiar topics. These talks will be brief overviews of broader topics or a deeper take on a very narrow topic. Each talk will be ten minutes (including time for questions), with a time at the end to engage individual speakers.</p>

-<h3>Style or substance? Free software is totally the 80's</h3>
-<span class="session-speaker"><a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#nicholson">Deb Nicholson</a></span>
-<p>The free software community is smart and forward-looking, but sometimes it can be hard to see the big picture when you're part of it. Often the easy choice isn't the best. We've been hearing about this constantly from the DevOps community: "Build systems that don't fail spectacularly in the middle of the night!" Of course, those robust systems are a little harder to build and take a bit more planning to set up. But when you consider "other people's systems" there is no question that the hard work should be done because it will make things better in the long run. The trick is looking at your own systems with that same long-range perspective.</p>
-
-<p>The culture of the 1980's is often depicted as an obsession with neon clothing, valley girl idioms and synthpop. That's an unfortunately shallow portrayal when you consider that the artists and activists of the 1980's were pushing back against the cultural norms portrayed in mass media. They were challenging boundaries about who gets to participate in the creation of art and embracing new technologies to share their ideas. How will our current era of increased free software production and adoption be remembered? Will it be all unconferences and penguin swag or will we be remembered for how we changed the world?</p>
-
-<p>Applying a long-range perspective to the continued growth and success of the world-wide free software movement isn't easy. It will take time and probably money. Can we step outside of our own history and make sure that the community is setting a course for the place we want to end up?</p>

-<h3>What did we learn in school today?: an OPW retrospective</h3>
-<span class="session-speaker"><a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#ghoshal">Sucheta	Ghoshal</a></span>
-<p>I took part in the Outreach Program for Women as an intern in 2013, and became a mentor for the same program in 2014. This talk intends to voice my experience with the GNOME initiative, as well as my thoughts and concerns around the program as a student, a mentor, and a professional in the free software domain, and as an earnest observer of the chaos that is formally called "The Internet." With a focus on the Why, the What and the How of the Gender Gap in free software, the talk ventures answers to those, as conveyed by the OPW initiative.</p>

-<h3>When open is not enough: educators and academia grapple with the need for libre</h3>
-<span class="session-speaker"><a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#quilter">Laura Quilter</a>, <a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#allen">Nicole Allen</a></span>
-<p>New research techniques like data mining have highlighted the shortcomings in "free" (as in beer) licensing of academic research, and the benefits of "libre" licensing that permits true scholarly engagement with data and scholarship. These challenges apply equally in the education sphere, where teachers often need to manipulate resources and not simply distribute them. We will survey what is sometimes called the "open movement" in academia, which incorporates open access, open education, and open data. How are researchers and educators grappling with these challenges, and what can they learn from the free software movement?</p>
