Fighting Surveillance with Free Software

+ +

Holmes Wilson, Fight for the Future +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.

An Overview of OpenPGP

+ +

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.

Considering the Future of Copyleft: How Will The Next Generation Perceive GPL?

+ +

Bradley Kuhn, Free Software Foundation +Copyleft licenses, particularly the GPL and LGPL, are widely used throughout the Free Software community. Over the last few years, recent debates have led many to various conclusions about the popularity of copyleft. This talk will discuss where copyleft stands today, how it interacts with the modern Free Software world, and how copyleft advocates may need to adapt to th future of Free Software licensing.

Your Web apps should talk not just in English, but in español, Kiswahili, 廣州話 and অসমীয়া too

+ +

Sucheta Ghoshal, Wikimedia Foundation +This talk aims to help web developers understand what localization is and why it is important. In this talk I will explain, how MediaWiki / Wikipedia - arguably the biggest and most localized projects on the internet - handles internationalization, how you can do it for your own apps, via jQuery.i18n (or other frameworks), and shall also talk about TranslateWiki.net, a place for Free and Open Source projects to get their strings translated.

These will include a renewed effort on educational software and improved online tools for the community, both for users and developers.

Geek Knowing: From FAQ To Feminism 101

+ +

Joseph Reagle, Northeastern University +In addition to information sharing and helpfulness, geek culture has a complementary norm obliging others to educate themselves on rudimentary topics. This obligation to know is expressed by way of jargon-laden exhortations such as "check the FAQ"(frequently asked questions) and "RTFM" (read the fucking manual). Additionally, the geek lexicon includes designations of the stature of the knower and the extent of what he or she knows (e.g., "newbie"). Online feminists, especially "geek feminists," are similarly beset by naive or disruptive questions, and demonstrate and further their geekiness through the deployment of the obligation to know, with some interesting differences. For instance, geek feminism includes a term for designating rudimentary (i.e., "101") knowledge, for "derailing" questions, and has novel concerns with respect to stature and extent of knowing (e.g., the Unicorn Law, impostor syndrome, and mansplaining).
