- ns the deportation and mass incarceration machines. In Donald Trump and Je
- ff Sessions' America\, it's more important than ever to fight for our core
-  values: freedom\, equality\, justice\, and democracy. That means using yo
- ur technical skills in the service of liberation\, but it also means engag
- ing as an ordinary citizen in the messy work of lobbying and organizing. T
- his talk will lay out some of the greatest challenges we face in 2017\, an
- d describe in detail some concrete ways we must unite to fight—not only 
- against the Trump regime's dastardly plans\, but also for the future we co

-DESCRIPTION:This presentation will open a discussion about how we are intr
- oducing new developers to programming. Most textbooks\, tutorials\, and tr
- ainings begin by introducing new developers to mathematics lessons within 
- the language. Many courses on programming require math skills as prerequis
- ites. However\, math prowess is not usually an indicator of one's potentia
- l programming abilities. Those people who have been told from a young age 
- that they aren't good at math or generally doubt their math skills often f
- eel excluded from the world of programming unnecessarily. I will pose ques
- tions about whether we can be using methods other than math skills to teac
- h programming languages to adult beginners. I propose logic and reasoning 
- skills are more important programming concepts to master to help new devel
- opers succeed. Let's change the way we're teaching programming and break d
- own more artificial barriers to entry for becoming a developer.

-DESCRIPTION:Machine learning (ML) research has a long and still prevalent 
- legacy of using proprietary technology. As ML becomes more and more popula
- r with industry-scale large applications\, many new and powerful proprieta
- ry pushes have been trying to enter different parts of the ML application 
- stack. We need to be prepared for the challenges of keeping free and open 
- source technology in ML\, and the challenges come from both the legacy sid
- e and the new proprietary push side. However\, ML is still overlooked in o
- ur conversations about free and open technology\, although many open sourc
- e alternatives have made ways into ML research\, development\, and industr
- y applications. In this session\, we will first have a quick glimpse at th
- e history ML stack in research\, development\, and applications\, then exp
- lore ML's proprietary legacy and its status quo. Then we will look at wher
- e the proprietary army is coming (again) while we were not looking. To con
- clude\, we will discuss strategies about what we can do as - a community a
- nd as individuals - to keep ML research and development free and open. Aud
- ience will walk away with the big picture of many floating pieces in curre
- nt ML development and applications\, and will also learn about less-explor
- ed historical context of ML development\, its influence on the potential f
- uture of free and open source technology in ML\, and some action recipes t
- o keep ML free and open. Your thoughts\, questions\, and further discussio
