For the exhibit hall, the Open Technology Institute's Commotion Wireless team will provide a wireless mesh Intranet that other project teams can use to provide easy public access to public demos of their own software, and everyone can use to share notes, chat, and perhaps even play a few games. Additionally, members of the Commotion team will be available throughout the conference to provide:

Fighting surveillance with free software

+

Room 32-123 | Thread: Surveillance

+

Holmes Wilson

+ +

Millions of people have demanded an end to the NSA's mass spying programs. But we can't rely on governments to end government surveillance. Free software and end-to-end crypto is key. To protect the world from bulk spying, we need to make software that's secure and easy to use.

Room 32-123 | Thread: Surveillance

+

Paul Tagliamonte

+ +

OpenPGP is the standard upon which modern cryptography systems are built upon. The Free Software OpenPGP implementation, GnuPG, is used ubiquitously throughout the free software world, and many people depend on safe and secure communications while using it. This talk will cover the basics of OpenPGP's format, and a very brief overview of how crypto systems, such as GnuPG, encode and send your data. This talk may assume technical knowledge for some parts.

+ +

Get started contributing to MediaWiki

+

Room 32-141 | Thread: Projects

+

Mark Holmquist

+ +

In this session, we'll lay the groundwork for working with the MediaWiki software, a PHP and JavaScript Web application that, through extensions, can be used for a great many purposes. You may be familiar with MediaWiki from Wikipedia, the Free Software Directory, or one of the thousands of other independent wikis that run the software.

We can't all be cyborg lawyers: how messaging may be our most important obstacle

+

Room 32-123

+

Karen Sandler

+ +

Explaining the importance of free software and its ideology to new audiences has always been a challenge. Karen will discuss the challenges inherent in free software messaging and why it's so important to win the allies we need going forward. She will share what she's learned from recent experiences in the GNOME and free software communities generally, and discuss strategies that could take our movement to the next level.

Program threads

+ +

LibrePlanet 2014 does not have traditional program tracks. Instead, we've woven thematic “threads” throughout the program.

+ +

Surveillance: If we want to defang surveillance programs like PRISM, we need to stop using centralized systems and come together to build an Internet that's decentralized, trustworthy, and free "as in freedom." The sessions in this thread cover everything from technical to legislative approaches to protecting ourselves and others from surveillance.

Jacob Appelbaum is an independent computer security researcher and hacker. He was employed by the University of Washington, and is a core member of the Tor project, a free software network designed to provide online anonymity. Appelbaum is known for representing Wikileaks at the 2010 HOPE conference. He has subsequently been repeatedly targeted by US law enforcement agencies, who obtained a court order for his Twitter account data, detained him twelve times at the US border after trips abroad, and seized a laptop and several mobile phones.

+ +

Appelbaum, under the handle "ioerror", has been an active member of the Cult of the Dead Cow hacker collective since 2008, and is the co-founder of the San Francisco hackerspace Noisebridge with Mitch Altman. He has worked for Kink.com and Greenpeace, and has volunteered for the Ruckus Society and the Rainforest Action Network. He is also an ambassador for the art group monochrom.

+ +

As a trusted confidant of the former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, Appelbaum was among several people who gained access to Snowden's top secret documents that were released during the 2013 global surveillance disclosure.

Richard Stallman, Free Software Foundation

+

Richard is a software developer and software freedom activist. In 1983 he announced the project to develop the GNU operating system, 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.

+ +

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.

+ +

Richard pioneered the concept of copyleft, and is the main author of the GNU General Public License, the most widely used free software license.

+ +

Richard graduated from Harvard in 1974 with a BA in physics. During his college years, he also worked as a staff hacker at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab, learning operating system development by doing it. He wrote the first extensible Emacs text editor there in 1975. He also developed the AI technique of dependency-directed backtracking, also known as truth maintenance. In January 1984 he resigned from MIT to start the GNU project.
