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

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

132 altered and reused. Free Software constitutes the bulk of it. Sadly we se

137 contribute to address this risk\, by collecting\, preserving\, and sharin
138 g all publicly available software in source code form. Together with its c
139 omplete VCS development history. Forever\, of course. Although still in Be
140 ta\, Software Heritage has already archived more than 3 billion unique sou

346 DESCRIPTION:The Reproducible Builds project aims to move towards a world w
347 here binary software can be independently verified\, by anyone\, as the pr
348 oduct of a given source. Many people interested in Free Software rely on t
349 he distributors of binary software to respect their freedoms. Unfortunatel
350 y\, most software incorporates unintended information into the binaries\,
351 resulting in differences in the binaries between consecutive builds. If so
352 ftware normally produces different binaries every time it is built\, how c
353 an we verify and prove that it is the intended result of the source code?
354 By incorportating best practices documented by the Reproducible Builds pro
355 ject into software development projects\, an independently verifyable chai
356 n from the source code to the binaries can be formed. Once independent ver
357 ification becomes common practice\, people can get back to working with so
358 ftware that respects user freedoms.

618 rying to gather the same information? As an organization or project grows\
619 , it often becomes hard to keep track of the various community members\, d

623 iscourse and various Drupal forms to clean up and funnel your contact data

695 ns across all industries\, there is demand for workers who not only have e
696 xperience with Free Software tools\, but also for those who can help organ
697 izations to become involved in those communities. Companies are increasing
698 ly looking to take the leap from consumer to contributor\, but they are of
699 ten unsure how to actually proceed. I will discuss the idea of exposing st
700 udents to the ideas and tools that Free Software depends on\, with the exp
701 licit goal of enabling students to build a technology portfolio that helps
702 them to stand out and teaches them how to work collaboratively and transp
703 arently. There are some success stories to tell\, but I hope that this tal
704 k will inspire other educators to incorporate Free Software concepts into
705 their standard curriculum.

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

774 DESCRIPTION:Algorithms are the new boogie men when it comes to social cont
775 rol and institutional discrimination. Recent research suggests a somewhat
776 counter-intuitive approach to ameliorating bias. One must not be blind to
777 race\, gender\, and other demographic categories that experience discrimin
778 ation--on the contrary\, one must actively monitor these factors. In this
779 panel\, each panelist will present his or her views for a few minutes\, le
780 aving ample time for comments and questions from the audience. This format
781 worked very well for the LibrePlanet 2014 session\, “Promoting free sof
782 tware adoption (and creation) in the public sector”\, where audience inv
783 olvement was passionate and well-informed.

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

931 a user's gpg private key gets deleted? The only backup is encrypted with
932 the lost private key. Catch 22. We're not in that world\, and so we don't
933 often worry about this problem. But solving the gpg key backup problem see
934 ms a necessary step in the path toward that world. Keysafe is an attempt a
935 t taking that step\, backing up to the cloud. Can that possibly be secure?
