14DESCRIPTION: The 21st century techno-surveillance state is the oil that ru\r
15 ns the deportation and mass incarceration machines. In Donald Trump and Je\r
16 ff Sessions' America\, it's more important than ever to fight for our core\r
17 values: freedom\, equality\, justice\, and democracy. That means using yo\r
18 ur technical skills in the service of liberation\, but it also means engag\r
19 ing as an ordinary citizen in the messy work of lobbying and organizing. T\r
20 his talk will lay out some of the greatest challenges we face in 2017\, an\r
21 d describe in detail some concrete ways we must unite to fight—not only \r
22 against the Trump regime's dastardly plans\, but also for the future we co\r
23 llectively need to build.\r

58DESCRIPTION:This presentation will open a discussion about how we are intr\r
59 oducing new developers to programming. Most textbooks\, tutorials\, and tr\r
60 ainings begin by introducing new developers to mathematics lessons within \r
61 the language. Many courses on programming require math skills as prerequis\r
62 ites. However\, math prowess is not usually an indicator of one's potentia\r
63 l programming abilities. Those people who have been told from a young age \r
64 that they aren't good at math or generally doubt their math skills often f\r
65 eel excluded from the world of programming unnecessarily. I will pose ques\r
66 tions about whether we can be using methods other than math skills to teac\r
67 h programming languages to adult beginners. I propose logic and reasoning \r
68 skills are more important programming concepts to master to help new devel\r
69 opers succeed. Let's change the way we're teaching programming and break d\r
70 own more artificial barriers to entry for becoming a developer.\r

130DESCRIPTION:The Software Commons is the vast body of human knowledge embed\r
131 ded in software source code\, that is publicly available and can be freely\r
132 altered and reused. Free Software constitutes the bulk of it. Sadly we se\r

134 Free Software community over the paste decades: once popular code hosting \r
135 sites shut down\, tapes of ancient versions of our toolchain (bit-)rot in \r
136 basements\, etc. The ambitious goal of the Software Heritage project is to\r
137 contribute to address this risk\, by collecting\, preserving\, and sharin\r
138 g all publicly available software in source code form. Together with its c\r
139 omplete VCS development history. Forever\, of course. Although still in Be\r

237DESCRIPTION:Patents\, copyrights and trademark rights have been growing an\r
238 d expanding in scope and application. In most cases\, it seems the origina\r
239 l intent of spurring innovation or protecting creators has gotten a bit lo\r
240 st\, if not completely inverted. Certainly\, there must be a way to suppor\r
241 t inventors without enabling predators and protect creators without empowe\r
242 ring trolls. We need to slay our own monsters\, instead of leaving them fo\r
243 r the next generation. If you've ever wondered why a smell can be trademar\r
244 ked or why math can\, no... can't\, well... maybe gets patented\, then thi\r
245 s talk is for you. The kids of tomorrow might not want to sample our music\r
246 or work with our legacy codebases\, but they won't thank us for taking th\r
247 e option off the table. There are many entities that are highly invested i\r
248 n endless copyright\, creative trademark enforcement or patent maximalism\\r
249 , but what do they want? More importantly\, how can they be stopped? It wo\r
250 n't be easy\, but there are some things you can do. This talk will cover w\r
251 hy it feels so darned difficult to get common sense policies in place. You\r

346DESCRIPTION:The Reproducible Builds project aims to move towards a world w\r

350 y\, most software incorporates unintended information into the binaries\, \r
351 resulting in differences in the binaries between consecutive builds. If so\r
352 ftware normally produces different binaries every time it is built\, how c\r
353 an we verify and prove that it is the intended result of the source code? \r
354 By incorportating best practices documented by the Reproducible Builds pro\r
355 ject into software development projects\, an independently verifyable chai\r
356 n from the source code to the binaries can be formed. Once independent ver\r
357 ification becomes common practice\, people can get back to working with so\r
358 ftware that respects user freedoms.\r

734DESCRIPTION:Machine learning (ML) research has a long and still prevalent \r
735 legacy of using proprietary technology. As ML becomes more and more popula\r
736 r with industry-scale large applications\, many new and powerful proprieta\r
737 ry pushes have been trying to enter different parts of the ML application \r
738 stack. We need to be prepared for the challenges of keeping free and open \r
739 source technology in ML\, and the challenges come from both the legacy sid\r
740 e and the new proprietary push side. However\, ML is still overlooked in o\r
741 ur conversations about free and open technology\, although many open sourc\r
742 e alternatives have made ways into ML research\, development\, and industr\r
743 y applications. In this session\, we will first have a quick glimpse at th\r
744 e history ML stack in research\, development\, and applications\, then exp\r
745 lore ML's proprietary legacy and its status quo. Then we will look at wher\r
746 e the proprietary army is coming (again) while we were not looking. To con\r
747 clude\, we will discuss strategies about what we can do as - a community a\r
748 nd as individuals - to keep ML research and development free and open. Aud\r
749 ience will walk away with the big picture of many floating pieces in curre\r
750 nt ML development and applications\, and will also learn about less-explor\r
751 ed historical context of ML development\, its influence on the potential f\r
752 uture of free and open source technology in ML\, and some action recipes t\r
753 o keep ML free and open. Your thoughts\, questions\, and further discussio\r

811DESCRIPTION:One avenue for advancing free software and free culture is the\r
812 workplace. It's the one place where we spend a substantial (if not the ma\r
813 jority) of our time\, have potential access to large audiences\, funds\, a\r
814 nd resources. The talk explores free software\, free culture\, and the pro\r
815 spects for both in the workplace. Questions explored include: What kind of\r
816 workplaces are amenable to FOSS? What is the impact of the current econom\r
817 ic trends (increasing job insecurity\, short work tenure\, stagnating wage\r
818 s\, and increasing hours worked)? How is FOSS leveraged in environments wh\r
819 ere workers have limited control or agency? What is the impact of wide sca\r
820 le adoption and intensifying of 'stick' models of employee management in p\r
821 lace of cooperative models?\r

835DESCRIPTION:The fundamental mechanism defending software freedom is copyle\r
836 ft\, embodied in GPL. GPL\, however\, functions only through upholding it \r
837 — via GPL enforcement. For some\, enforcement has for 30 years been a re\r
838 gular activity\, but most projects don't enforce: they live with regular v\r
839 iolations. Today\, even under the Community Principles of GPL Enforcement\\r
840 , GPL enforcement is regularly criticized and questioned. The complex land\r
841 scape is now impenetrable for developers who merely wish their code to rem\r
842 ain forever free. This talk provides basic history and background informat\r
843 ion on the topic.\r

885DESCRIPTION:Ethics is at the root of Free Software. In a philosophical per\r
886 spective where ethics is operational rather than moral\, we argue that the\r
887 ethics of Free Software goes beyond ethics. It is morality. The ever-pres\r
888 ent concern for self-respect\, autonomy and\, of course\, freedom makes Fr\r
889 ee Software akin to historical philosophical movements (humanism\, Enlight\r
890 enment\, existentialism). Besides\, the Free Software Movement contribute \r
891 their principles (such as transparency) and practices (such as cryptograph\r
892 y) to support whistleblowers\, journalists\, and activists. Similarities w\r
893 ith other social movements let us derive existing and possible coalitions.\r

928DESCRIPTION:Imagine a world in which GnuPG was not hard to use\, and was u\r
929 sed widely. Users exchange encrypted email\, gpg sign comments on websites\r
930 \, make encrypted backups\, and so on. What happens\, in that world\, when\r
931 a user's gpg private key gets deleted? The only backup is encrypted with \r
932 the lost private key. Catch 22. We're not in that world\, and so we don't \r
933 often worry about this problem. But solving the gpg key backup problem see\r
934 ms a necessary step in the path toward that world. Keysafe is an attempt a\r
935 t taking that step\, backing up to the cloud. Can that possibly be secure?\r
