Cultivating a welcoming free software community that lasts

Building bridges and plugging in

For forty years, the free software movement has been driven by a passionate community of hackers who care deeply about user freedom and privacy. Meanwhile, the strategies and tools that other software communities use to organize, promote, and execute projects has changed significantly.

-

In this talk, we will discuss how to cultivate a welcoming community that attracts a new generation of passionate users, contributors, and maintainers to free software projects. I will take inspiration from other successful projects to illustrate a human-centered process that streamlines contributions, strengthens maintainership, and creates a feeling of shared ownership for all users.

Technology policy, and advocacy around it, used to be largely considered in its own silo. Those days are over. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been lucky to work with advocates in many spaces, including criminal justice, reproductive justice, and worker rights to advocate for change. As technology becomes an integral part of more areas of our daily life, a cross-disciplinary advocacy mindset becomes more necessary to nurture. We will discuss lessons EFF has learned from building these partnerships. We'll highlight how valuable it is for "tech people" to be more involved in modern community movements. We'll also talk about how we can bring skills honed in the free software advocacy community to other areas of policy. Ultimately, the goal is not only to think about how to diversify the free software movement—it's also to expand people's definition of what "counts" as "their" issue.

Plone (plone.org) is a 22 year old free software community that has grown around the Python web content management system. The Plone Foundation was established in 2004 to promote and protect the software, but does not direct its development.

-

Over the years, the Foundation and the software were led by the cofounders, then by their trusted lieutenants, and then by newer generations of developers and organizers further and further removed from the project's founding. Yet, this community and project have thrived despite the challenges of communicating and continuing to express the original vision and its evolution.

-

Find out how we've been able to foster and grow our community, encourage contributors, and maintain decades-long connections around the world.

Impressed by the software, he was amazed not only to realize that the community around the software was comprised of super smart and super welcoming individuals but also that they welcomed his involvement and interest in contributing. Since then, he has tried to return the favor and live up to the expectations, organizing Plone symposia and annual conferences, serving on the Foundation Board, and having his fingers at one time or another in almost every Plone team.

Escape the walled garden: Freeing the Apple GPU

+: Jupiter -- in-person +
+: Keynote +
+

In 2020, we had free graphics drivers for all major hardware. Enter "Apple Silicon", stage left. The new Macs shipped an in-house GPU with proprietary drivers, no public specs, and no native support for free operating systems. Even worse, the vendor's drivers are not conformant to any industry standard, forcing free software developers to waste time porting their graphics code to run inside the walled garden. What do we do? Reverse-engineer the hardware, of course. Once we dissect
+the architecture, we can build our own graphics stack, protect software freedom, and beat the big guy with our conformant OpenGL® 4.6 support. In this talk, we'll zoom in on this peculiar GPU and what it means for the fight for free software.
