<h3>Federation and GNU</h3>

- <p>The effort to re-decentralize the web has been under way for a number of years, but what's really happening under the hood? Various projects like Diaspora, GNU Social, GNU MediaGoblin, Friendica Red, and Pump.IO all exist, but not all these projects can talk to each other. How can we fix that? A demo of PyPump will be given, as well as a rundown on the progress of the W3C Social Working Group.</p>

<h3>Libreboot: free your BIOS today</h3>
<span class="label label-default">Room 32-155</span> <span class="session-speaker"><a href="/2015/program/speakers.html#rowe">Francis Rowe</a></span>
<p>Libreboot is a free (libre) BIOS/UEFI replacement for your computer. Based on coreboot, the aim is to distribute low-level boot firmware that is 100% free software. The project is aimed at users, attempting to make coreboot as easy to use as possible.</p>
- <p>The work done by the libreboot project (and it's upstream, coreboot) is extremely important. Many people are using a free operating system, but most of them are relying on proprietary boot firmware to start their machine. Libreboot exists to provide a distribution of coreboot that is entirely free software, with the same goals as the GNU project and others in providing users the means to achieve freedom in their computing.</p>

<p>This talk goes into detail about the history of libreboot, how the project is run, how libreboot works and ways in which you can begin using libreboot today. The project is also in need of contributors; part of the talk will go into detail on this.</p>
