DESCRIPTION: The 21st century techno-surveillance state is the oil that ru
 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
 llectively need to build.

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:The Software Commons is the vast body of human knowledge embed
 ded in software source code\, that is publicly available and can be freely
  altered and reused. Free Software constitutes the bulk of it. Sadly we se
 em to be at increasing risk of losing this precious heritage built by the 
 Free Software community over the paste decades: once popular code hosting 
 sites shut down\, tapes of ancient versions of our toolchain (bit-)rot in 
 basements\, etc. The ambitious goal of the Software Heritage project is to
  contribute to address this risk\, by collecting\, preserving\, and sharin
 g all publicly available software in source code form. Together with its c
 omplete VCS development history. Forever\, of course. Although still in Be
 ta\, Software Heritage has already archived more than 3 billion unique sou
 rce code files and 700 million unique commits\, spanning more than 50 mill
 ion Free Software projects from major software development hubs\, GNU/Linu
 x distributions\, and upstream software collections.

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

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

 s a black box — not just designed to be unauditable\, but to be illegal 
 to audit\, to improve\, to reconfigure. Software freedom is human freedom:
  not because 'information wants to be free\,' but because people can't be 
 free in an information age when their information technology is designed t
 o control them.

 sheets with contacts? Have you ever had a donor approached by two people t
 rying to gather the same information? As an organization or project grows\
 , it often becomes hard to keep track of the various community members\, d
 onors\, and volunteers who are connected. An answer to this is the often u
 sed sales tool\, a contact relationship manager (CRM). You will learn abou
 t a non-sales focused tool\, CiviCRM and see how it can be combined with D
 iscourse and various Drupal forms to clean up and funnel your contact data
 .

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

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
 ns are also cordially welcome!

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

  workplace. It's the one place where we spend a substantial (if not the ma
 jority) of our time\, have potential access to large audiences\, funds\, a

 spects for both in the workplace. Questions explored include: What kind of
  workplaces are amenable to FOSS? What is the impact of the current econom
 ic trends (increasing job insecurity\, short work tenure\, stagnating wage
 s\, and increasing hours worked)? How is FOSS leveraged in environments wh
 ere workers have limited control or agency? What is the impact of wide sca
 le adoption and intensifying of 'stick' models of employee management in p
 lace of cooperative models?

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

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

  a user's gpg private key gets deleted? The only backup is encrypted with 
 the lost private key. Catch 22. We're not in that world\, and so we don't
