For the past four years, I’ve been involved in various initiatives to help grow the Fediverse, including the Copyleft Curator newsletter and The Open Web Project. During that time, I’ve gotten deeply involved in the community: experimenting with strategies, identifying the biggest problems facing ecosystem, getting a feel for the culture, and looking at what potential the federated and free-software model provides for actually affecting change.

I’m very deeply interested in the intersection between technological design and human behavior, and how to best solve problems creatively and autonomously, in a way which empowers human beings as opposed to binding them.

This session will demonstrate the current status of 3NWeb protocols and client using Trisquel GNU/Linux and RYF hardware. 3NWeb use cases include encrypted messaging and storage. The protocols can be run over anonymous Free Software networks such as Tor and are agnostic in regard to addressing. For example, nodes can be communicated with via .onion hidden services or IPFS namespaces.

In their pursuit to turn a beautiful document publishing system into a modern web browsers have become incredibly complex, to the extent that it becomes impractical to exercise your software freedoms to study, modify, share, & share your modifications. Even once all dominant engines are nominally free software.

This talk will explore my journey building alternative browser engines, how they can be made appealing despite limited capability, the benefits to the free software ecosystem, and how you can help bring a JavaScript-free web into reality.

There is a great challenge around payment for building platforms and working on free software projects. Sometimes a client will pay for development and other times there are unfunded projects that are built for community use by volunteers. What are some good business models that financially support the developers? Is an infrastructure needed to support payment for working on free software projects? Could OpenCollective be a path for sponsoring multiple development projects for teams of developers?

+: Sunday 16:20 - 17:05 EDT (20:20 UTC) +
+: Jupiter -- in-person +
+: Security +

In safety-critical software, mistakes and errors can be lethal. Recent accidents with the Boeing 737 Max Aircraft illustrate the failure of proprietary software required to have undergone careful review following the F.A.A.'s DO-178x certification process. Governments and the people they represent must strongly consider requiring free software to be used for safety-critical code implementations. Free software offers transparency and a much higher level of review than what is possible with proprietary software.
