Call for Sessions

- -

The Call for Sessions for LibrePlanet 2015 is open from Monday, September 15th, 2014 to Sunday, November 2nd Sunday, November 9th, 2014 at 19:59 EST (23:59 UTC).

-

This year, the theme of LibrePlanet is "Free Software Everywhere." We're looking for talks that touch on the many places and ways that free software is used around the world, as well as ways to make free software ubiquitous. Think "where" in the broadest sense of the word--it's not just geography-based talks we're after. What are some contexts where free software is thriving, and some others where it needs a push? How have you worked to gain a foothold for free software in your company or community? And what about free software on all of the myriad pieces of hardware we use, including laptops, phones, tablets, and even coffee makers? At LibrePlanet 2015, we're taking software freedom around the world, to outer space, and through all kinds of industries, governments, organizations, fields of study, and communities.

- -

Should I submit a session proposal for LibrePlanet?

- -

Yes! We encourage speakers of all experience levels to submit a proposal. LibrePlanet is a great place for new and seasoned speakers alike. While LibrePlanet always includes technical talks, our program also emphasizes topics that are appropriate for newcomers. We are especially interested to see proposals from people who use free software or apply its values for social benefit, from academic research to community organizing, education to medicine and the arts.

-

While we do not provide honorariums for our speakers, speakers are eligible to apply for travel scholarships (see our list of important dates for more info). So yes, please submit a proposal even if you live far away and aren't sure you can afford a plane ticket!

- -

Important dates (subject to change)

- - - -

Some ideas for sessions

- - - -

At LibrePlanet, we are looking for sessions that embrace the free software movement's ideals and also its language. For example, successful proposals will use phrases like "free software" and avoid phrases like "open source."

- -

Past sessions

- - - -

Other ways to engage

-

There is also a place on the proposal form to indicate if you would like to participate in the conference in other ways in addition to your session – by framing and moderating a panel; facilitating a caucus space; sharing media-making skills; demonstrating something cool in the exhibit hall; or blogging about the conference. Please let us know about the community-building skills you have to share!

The effort to re-decentralize the web has been under - way for a number of years, but what's really happening - under the hood? Various projects like Diaspora, GNU - social, GNU MediaGoblin, Friendica Red, and Pump.IO all - exist, but not all these projects can talk to each - other. How can we fix that? A demo of PyPump will be - given, as well as a rundown on the progress of the W3C - Social Working Group.

Dr. Hyde and Mr. Jekyll: advocating for free software in nonfree academic contexts

-
- - - ginger coons - - - -
-

Room 32-141

-

What if the classic horror trope of the good doctor who - becomes a monster at night were reversed? Instead of the - good Dr. Jekyll transforming into the rampaging Mr. Hyde, - advocates of free who work in nonfree environments can - feel as if they only get to put on their altruistic - persona at night. For academics advocating free software - and free culture in particular, libre ethics are often at - odds with both administrative structures and expected - teaching outcomes. This session explores the struggles of - advocating free in both research and teaching.

Room 32-155

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.

This year a robotic certificate authority will start - issuing publicly-trusted certificates, at no charge, by - the millions. Called Let's Encrypt, this CA is an - initiative of several organizations. Our free software and - protocol will let sysadmins run a single command to turn - on HTTPS on their servers in about a minute, helping - eliminate obstacles to activating encryption for every Web - server. I'll describe how it all works and give a demo. We - need lots of testing and integration help!

Attribution revolution -- turning copyright upside-down

-
- Jonas Öberg - - -
-

Room 32-141

-

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?

- -

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.

Access without empowermentg

-
- - Benjamin Mako Hill - -
-

Room 32-123

-

The free software movement has twin goals: - promoting access to software through users' freedom to - share, and empowering users by giving them control - over their technology. For all our movement's success, - we have been much more successful at the former. I - will use data from free software and from several - related movements to explain why promoting empowerment - is systematically more difficult than promoting access - and I will explore how our movement might address the - second challenge in the future.

Fork and ignore: fighting a GPL violation by coding instead

-
- - Bradley Kuhn - - -
-

Room 32-123

-

Typically, GPL enforcement activity involves - copyright infringement actions which compel license - violators to correct errors in their GPL compliance, - defending the policy goals of the GPL: the rights of - developers and users to copy, share, modify and - redistribute.

-

While traditional enforcement is often undeniably - necessary for embedded electronics products, novel - approaches to GPL violations are often possible and - even superior for more traditional software - distributions.

-

Recently, Software Freedom Conservancy engaged in - an enforcement action whereby, rather than fight the - violator in court, we instead provided resources and - assistance to a vetted GPL-compliant fork of a - violating codebase.

-

This talk discusses which scenarios make this - remedy optimal and the lessons learned. The talk - includes some licensing and technical content about - vetting the licensing information of codebases.

Is that your dad's new - impact drive? Don't you dare let me get up in the - middle of the night and step on that motherboard in my - bare feet. Just what in the name of Michael Dell is - going on here?

Richard Stallman

-

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.

-

Computers were irresistible to me, growing up in the suburbia of southwest England in the 1990s. But being “good with computers” pointed towards the life depicted in Office Space, so in high school I dropped maths and physics for contemporary art and socio-linguistics. Combining my interests in art and computers eventually led me to graphic design at college. I decided to free fonts.

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.

Ken Starks, Reglue

-

"Daddy, how does a computer work?" That simple six-word question led Ken down a path that not only changed his life, but the lives of hundreds of others. Since 2005, Ken and his organization has taken in broken or decommissioned computers, refurbished them, and then placed them into the homes of financially disadvantaged kids in Texas. Everything Reglue does is anchored on one simple premise: a child's exposure to technology should never be predicated on the ability to afford it.

One of the goals of our scholarship program is to increase participation by marginalized groups in our conference, so we ask some questions about identity. Remember that all of these fields are optional.

Volunteers make LibrePlanet great, and have fun doing it. Volunteers also recieve gratis conference admission and a LibrePlanet 2015 t-shirt. We have volunteer tasks for a wide variety of skill sets and interests, even if you can't make to Boston, or can only come during the conference weekend.

We welcome you to use the #libreplanet channel on Freenode for informal communication with other volunteers before and during the conference. Please email Chrissie at resources@fsf.org with any questions.
