DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tom Marble\nThe promise of the Internet was a federat
 ion of cooperative services and users around open protocols. Ironically mo
 st of the essential services we use today -- including authenticating iden
 tity -- rely on large\,  proprietary\, centralized services.\n\nUsers ough
 t to be able to share messages and files securely with one another without
  relying an a third party such as Google or Facebook. Ideally we ought to 
 be able to securely authenticate with service providers anonymously in ord
 er to truly prevent becoming the product of surveillance capitalism.\n\nTh
 e traditional X.509 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) has demonstrated weakn
 esses due to centralization. Mitigations such as Certificate Transparency 
 only partially address these weaknesses.\n\nThe Web of trust based on Pret
 ty Good Privacy (PGP) in theory offers a truly decentralized identity solu
 tion. However\, in practice\, broad success of PGP in identity has been st
 ymied by overwhelming complexity\, excruciatingly poor user experience des
 ign\, and difficulty in integrating the required software with popular ema
 il providers.\n\nThere is promising W3C standards work in the areas of  De
 centralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials\, yet implementa
 tions often depend on proof-of-work based crypto or token exchanges with a
 symmetric ownership and control. What's more DID resolution (anchoring in 
 non-repudiation framework)  is often either closed or left as an exercise 
 for the reader.\n\nThe purpose of this talk is to highlight the challenges
  in open source identity and brainstorm approaches which leverage the best
  parts of the Web of trust and the W3C standards work while preserving the
  values the FOSS community holds dear.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Elizabeth Barron\nWhat is the secret for maintainers 
 to sustain newcomers in their communities? Many maintainers know about add
 ing a CONTRIBUTING.md file to their project\, but is this enough to effect
 ively support and integrate newcomers into your project? In this session\,
  Elizabeth Barron and Justin W. Flory will provide a baseline for newcomer
  onboarding in today’s landscape and a close look at the CHAOSS and Fedo
 ra projects as real communities of practice.\n\nWhile CONTRIBUTING.md file
 s provide potential contributors with information and support to join the 
 community\, they have certain bounds. A poor onboarding experience can act
 ually work against you and turn them away before their first contribution.
  Building an effective and inclusive onboarding process is crucial to ensu
 ring a healthy open source community.\n\nIn this talk\, you will learn abo
 ut:\n\n- establishing a baseline for what “newcomer onboarding” means 
 in today’s open source landscape\n- implementing actionable steps to eas
 e onboarding for newcomers and maintainers\n- two communities and their ne
 xt steps for improving the contributor onboarding experience.\n\nElizabeth
  and Justin will represent the CHAOSS Project and the Fedora Project as pa
 rticipants\, maintainers\, and leaders in the communities and how experime
 nts with newcomer onboarding led to lessons learned and the growth of the 
 contributor ecosystem.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Hema Veeradhi\nWe are living in a digital era where v
 ast amounts of data is constantly being generated\, evaluated\, and update
 d. As a result\, the need for enterprises to keep up with this pace has gr
 own and we are rapidly moving towards a more data-driven society. With the
  help of AI/ML technology\, we have the power to make knowledgeable data d
 riven decisions and effectively identify new trends and patterns\, leading
  to more creative solutions and innovative approaches to problem-solving.\
 n\nIn light of the recent advancements in AI\, particularly in predictive 
 modeling\, we now have a powerful tool at our disposal to quickly consume 
 and analyze vast amounts of data. By using open source time series forecas
 ting ML models like ARIMA and Prophet\, we can provide more accurate predi
 ctions and insights in real-time\, enabling organizations and teams to str
 eamline processes and increase efficiency\, improve and manage customer ri
 sk\, and adapt to changing market conditions. In this talk we will discuss
 :\n1. Open Source tooling for building predictive ML models (Python\, Jupy
 ter\, MLFLow)\n2. Time series forecasting techniques\n3. Tips for managing
  ML workflows and model interpretations\n\nAttendees will leave this talk 
 with a deeper understanding of predictive ML models and how open source ca
 n empower us to be more data driven.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Carl White\nThis project aims to bridge the gap betwe
 en technological advancements in Knowledge Management (KM)\, E-Learning (E
 L)\, and emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, Virtual
  Reality (VR)\, and Augmented Reality (AR)\, and the lack of skilled users
  able to create 3D content and establish best online practices for VR/AR c
 ontent teaching and sharing. Our solution is a student-centric e-content d
 evelopment platform based on the Pre-Freshman Accelerated Curriculum in En
 gineering (PACE) program's Virtual Interactive Learning\, Training\, and P
 erformance platform (VILTA).\n\nThe PACE program\, with a strong track rec
 ord of promoting student advancement and retention (with a 55% four-year g
 raduation rate and a 24% advanced STEM degree completion rate). PACE was e
 stablished in 1987 as a face to face on campus program. The vision of the 
 PACE program is to motivate and inspire students to obtain an advanced  ST
 EM degree.  This program has evolved into a semi-immersive and entirely re
 mote learning experience\, PACE VILTA. This evolution motivates the applic
 ation of open-source software to transform PACE VILTA into a comprehensive
  student-centric e-content development platform.\n\nBy integrating AI with
  KM and EL on this platform\, we aim to automate knowledge extraction\, ca
 tegorization\, and distribution. The platform will be designed to personal
 ize EL content\, adapt to individual learners' pace\, and enable precise a
 ssessments.\n\nVR and AR technologies will be introduced via gaming tools 
 into an open-source Learning Management System (LMS) creating immersive\, 
 interactive\, and contextual EL environments. An open-source metaverse\, a
  unique feature of this platform\, will facilitate e-content usage and sha
 ring. The LMS's built-in controls will track students' progress through th
 e e-content development cycle\, ensuring alignment with the implemented e-
 content framework.\n\nThis platform will serve as a testing ground for var
 ious e-content frameworks\, simplify e-content creation with VR and AR too
 ls\, and promote collaborative constructivism learning. By enabling the in
 tegration of diverse investigative techniques\, the platform targets the i
 mprovement of active learning models\, encourages innovative e-content fra
 meworks\, and provides a medium for validating learning principles\, theor
 ies\, and concepts.\n\nThe proposed research will focus on these dynamic i
 ntegrations\, anticipating comprehensive insights into the innovative amal
 gamation of AI\, VR\, and AR with KM and EL\, powered by open-source softw
 are. The findings will extend the body of knowledge\, suggest future resea
 rch directions\, and provide valuable guidelines for organizations and edu
 cational institutions seeking to improve their KM and EL initiatives throu
 gh open-source innovation.\n\nThe primary objective of this research is to
  foster advancements in Knowledge Management (KM) and E-Learning (EL) syst
 ems worldwide. It aims to make these systems not only economically feasibl
 e but also versatile and easily accessible to a broad spectrum of users. T
 he anticipated influence of this study is extensive\, encompassing a wide 
 range of learners\, from students at Morgan State University to those in K
 -12 education\, adult learners\, and participants in industry training pro
 grams. Furthermore\, it aspires to have a transformative impact on governm
 ental agencies across the globe\, further broadening the reach and applica
 bility of its findings

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dawn Foster\nMaintaining an open source project is ha
 rd work that often extends out over several years\, and maintainer burnout
  is common within open source projects. It can be hard for already overwor
 ked maintainers to balance the day to day work required to keep the projec
 t running while investing in activities to increase future sustainability.
  The good news is that we have best practices\, resources\, and templates 
 available to make it easier for maintainers and projects to build a contri
 butor strategy that leads to a strong and growing community for an open so
 urce project over the long term. This talk will help you apply those resou
 rces in your project.\n\nThis talk will have several major sections. 1) Di
 scussion about the major factors that impact contributor growth. 2) Develo
 ping and executing on a long-term contributor growth strategy\, including 
 governance\, new contributor onboarding\, and mentoring. 3) Using contribu
 tor ladders to promote contributors into leadership positions as more main
 tainers to share the workload can reduce maintainer burnout over time. 4) 
 Metrics for measuring project sustainability.\n\nThe audience will walk aw
 ay with a better understanding of how to grow their contributor base and b
 uild a community around their open source project.

  / SpiderMonkey projects\, amongst others.\n\nThe reason we started as a c
 o-op and the reason the focus of our work is Free and Open Source software
  are one and the same. Both are implementations of our values\, in a word:
  egalitarianism.\n\nIn this talk you will hear a bit about our history. We
  will focus on how we found our FOSS business niche and how we grew from a
  few friends to 140 people in more than 25 countries all the while maintai
 ning our flat organization structure. You will learn what it's like to par
 ticipate in a company that is run by an Assembly\, the decision making bod
 y that includes every Igalian\, instead of a hierarchy of bosses.\n\nWe ho
 pe that this talk will expand the limits of your imagination on what a com
 pany can look like\, and that next time you think about starting your own 
 company or looking for a new job\, you consider a co-op!

 t OpenBSD\, and NetBSD along the way. The unique features of FreeBSD range
  from subtle to obvious\, and have arrived at a slow but steady pace that 
 has allowed it to stay remarkably consistent but ever advancing over its t
 hirty year history. These features include a permissive license\, an exemp
 lary network stack\, multiple packet filters\, the Jail container\, the bh
 yve and Xen hypervisors\, and the UFS and ZFS file systems. FreeBSD's cons
 istency makes it a delight to work with and operate\, with changes consist
 ently adding value\, rather than delivering change for change's sake. This
  approach has allowed user to develop "muscle memory" that can genuinely l
 ast decades. This talk will provide an overview of FreeBSD's compelling fe
 atures big and small.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Richard Littauer\nOpen source sustainability is a fre
 quently mentioned topic. We need to "keep it going for the long haul"\, de
 velop a "sustainable business model"\, and occasionally even "sustain sust
 ainability conversations". There's even a conference about it. It happened
  on Wednesday. But the entire discussion falls down upon close scrutiny. W
 hat does sustainability mean for open source? Does it apply to the license
 s\, to particular projects\, to users\, to the ecosystem? How do we unders
 tand the community health of open source on a temporal spectrum? Why "sust
 ain" in the first place\, and for what\, and for whom?\n\nAnd what's at ri
 sk if we're not sustainable? Proprietary code eating the world? Burn-out? 
 AI? All of us moving to San Francisco and working for ad tech\, even thoug
 h the rent is too darn high? \n\nI've held hundreds of conversations about
  sustaining open source over the past few years. I want to share the limit
 s of the term\, where it doesn't fit our abstractions\, and how some of th
 e models we use to understand open source sustainability could be updated 
 or improved. This is a talk for skeptics. It's also a talk for dreamers - 
 because without understanding where the gaps are\, it's near impossible to
  bridge them. My hope is that this talk can show how we can start doing th
 at\, together.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Stefano Maffulli\nFollowing an explosion of growth in
  open collaboration in solving the world’s most urgent problems related 
 to the 2020 global Covid-19 pandemic\, open source software moved from mai
 nstream to the world's main stage.  In 2022 the United Nation’s Digital 
 Public Goods (DPG) Alliance began formally certifying open source software
  as DPG\; the European Union wrote open source into their road map\; both 
 the EU and the US began crafting Cybersecurity legislation in support of s
 ecure software - not targeting OSS as a specific concern but rather protec
 ting and investing in it as critical to its own and its citizens’ intere
 st. \n\nOSI has recognized these important seachanges in the environment\,
  including unprecedented interest in open source in public arenas. Stefano
  Maffulli’s briefing will provide an overview of important trends in Ope
 n Source Software in public policy\, philanthropy and research and talk ab
 out a new initiative at OSI designed to bring open voices to the discussio
 n.

  to building both a vibrant community of open source users as well as a pr
 ofitable customer base. Sure\, the open source project can drive commercia
 l adoption\,but  the profile and needs of open source users are fundamenta
 lly different from the profile and priorities of a good commercial custome
 r. If\, as an open source business\, you want to effectively grow both com
 munity use and revenue\, you need to understand the profile\, needs and pa
 in points unique to their open source software users as well as the profil
 e\, needs and pain points unique to their commercial customers — and und
 erstand how the two profiles both overlap and diverge. \n\nIn this talk\, 
 Emily Omier will show attendees how to position their open source project 
 and commercial product(s) so that each one has a unique message and clearl
 y defined ideal user profile\, while also developing an umbrella positioni
 ng and narrative for the entire company. Attendees will leave with a frame
 work for how to work out the positioning for both open source and commerci
 al products\, as well as an understanding of why it matters and what to do
  once they’ve figured out the positioning basics.

  a fundamental mis-conception about how to approach the acquisition of ope

  fix our own leaky roofs\, make shoes for our own friends and family\, and
  help return time to everyone’s days.\n\nTo engage in practice in this s

 e Way\, the guidebook for community management. Written by a diverse group
  of more than a dozen FOSS expert practitioners\, the guide extrapolates a

 hy to do it. The chapters and checklists are ready to use and/or modify\, 
 and Karsten will chop and mix them live in the session.\n\nHow can this he

 to teach and reteach (and reteach…) the same information and practices. 
 People need to know what to do\, how to do it\, and where to do it\, while
  you hope you get them to understand a smattering of why it all matters in

 steps to take the detailed and specific practices in the guidebook\, and r
 emix them to fit your education and practice needs. The contributors you s

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Justin Dorfman\nThere are some concerns that AI could
  pose a threat to FOSS. For example\, some worry that AI could be used to 
 create proprietary software that is more powerful and efficient than OSS. 
 Additionally\, others worry that AI could be used to automate the developm
 ent of FOSS\, which could lead to a decline in the number of people willin
 g to contribute to open source projects.\n\nHowever\, there are also a num
 ber of ways in which AI can be used to help sustain open source. For examp
 le\, AI can be used to:\n\n* Automate tasks: AI can be used to automate a 
 number of tasks currently performed by humans\, such as writing unit tests
 . This can free human developers to focus on more creative and strategic w
 ork.\n\n* Improve quality: AI can improve the quality of FOSS by identifyi
 ng and fixing bugs as well as security vulnerabilities. \n\n* Attract new 
 contributors: AI can attract new contributors to open source projects by m
 aking it easier for people to get involved. For example\, AI can generate 
 documentation and tutorials and then be improved by contributors to fix ha
 llucinations.\n\nOverall\, AI has the potential to both help and hurt open
  source. However\, if used correctly\, AI can be a powerful tool for susta
 ining and improving open source software.

 re “must-have” skills required of any researcher in any discipline. Re
 cent advances in digital technology have introduced new practices in Open 
 Science and Research Integrity\, requiring researchers to continuously dev
 elop their skills in systematic ways. This session uses a maturity model r
 epresented by rubrics and accessed via an open source e-Portfolio to devel
 op RDM skills in new researchers. The rubrics identify specific skills req
 uired to plan for\, organize\, analyze\, publish\, and share research data
 . The e-Portfolio (developed using the Karuta Open Source Portfolio\, a pr
 oject of the Apereo Foundation\, https://www.apereo.org/projects/karuta) i
 nvites new researchers to provide multimedia evidence demonstrating their 
 RDM skills and accomplishments and to receive feedback on their progress f
 rom mentors.\n\nThe Academic Data and Innovation Unit at Kyoto University 
 is currently developing three types of RDM rubrics for new researchers bas
 ed on the RDM maturity model and the RDM guide for researchers developed b
 y the California Digital Library:\n1. RDM Basic Skills Rubric\n2. Discipli
 ne-Specific RDM Skills Rubrics\n3. Interdisciplinary RDM Skills Rubric for
  Innovation\nBy pairing these rubrics with the open source ePortfolio syst
 em of “Apereo Karuta”\, we are creating a program to better prepare ne
 w researchers at Kyoto University and other universities in Japan for the 
 emerging RDM requirement of publishing and sharing data along with researc
 h results.

 rs to fix bugs and add features more quickly. A larger\, more engaged comm
 unity of users also decreases the risk that an open source project will be
  abandoned\, creating a virtuous cycle of trust as more organizations feel
  comfortable using the project in mission-critical applications. Whether a

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Paco Xander Nathan\nThere's been an explosion in the 
 space of language models\, generative AI\, and other machine learning rela
 ted to natural language. Going "beyond the headlines"\, this talk shows ho
 w to leverage open source libraries in Python to work with text and image 
 content\, from the perspective of an author\, editor\, or illustrator.  We
 'll look at how to leverage advanced and "AI-adjacent" tooling such as lan
 guage models\, data annotation\, graph technologies\, interactive visualiz
 ations\, etc.\, for assisting creators to understand the content better an
 d collaborate more effectively. For example: What are the themes discussed
 ? Who are the characters? What are the relationships between the character
 s? Where was concept "XYZZY" first introduced? Did the "Blarg" character a
 ctually purchase a quantum transmogrifier before its first use in the stor
 y? How do the themes within the content map to the beats in the story arc?
   What is the "concept density" per chapter\, in terms of the pace of new 
 ideas being introduced? How can language models help suggest or refine the
  prompt engineering used for illustrating a story? Where are illustrations
  needed?\n\nThese approaches apply in the production of fiction\, as well 
 as games\, movie scripts\, plays\, documentaries\, and various non-fiction
  as well.\n\nWe'll review an example: development of an ebook in the style
  of Japanese Light Novels (a cli-fy novel "Latent Space") where artists ex
 perimented with collages using components from generative AI\, prompts nee
 ded to be tracked\, themes images needed to be aligned with text themes\, 
 and so on.\n\nPython provides a wide range of available tooling (`spaCy`\,
  `argilla`\, `huggingface`\, `pyvis`\, and so on) as well as data infrastr
 ucture tooling to support content work at scale.

 vides many benefits\, including increased ability to focus\, quality time 
 with friends and family\, and an effective opt-out from real-time location
  tracking\, it is not widely accepted by society.\n\nThis talk will explor
 e some of the ways that society has evolved over the past two decades that
  make it much more difficult for people who make certain technology-relate

 choices than us\, not just with phone usage\, but in other FOSS-related ar

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Clint Lalonde\nThe OpenETC is a community of educator
 s\, technologists\, and designers sharing their expertise to foster and su
 pport open infrastructure for the British Columbia advanced education sect
 or. The OpenETC provides free open source educational technology services 
 to teachers and students at post-secondary institutions in British Columbi
 a\, Canada.  \n\nOperating since 2016 via a unique cooperative-style model
  of “contributions\, not contracts” inspired by the platform cooperati
 ve movement\, the OpenETC offers more than services\, but also provides a 
 community space for advancing our flavor of “Free Range Open EdTech.”\
 n\nIn this session we will discuss how the OpenETC uses open source softwa
 re to encourage technological autonomy for both educators and students\, a
 nd how working at the level of the whole province helps smooth out resourc
 ing disparities between institutions\, most especially during the pandemic
 . We will us examples from our community to illustrate how the community-b
 ased services and supports we offer support the development of digital lit
 eracies and skills among educators and students as well as the sharing of 
 open educational resources\, and how our use of open source software has p
 roven to be a catalyst that sparks bigger conversations within the BC post
 -secondary system about the role of technology in teaching and learning. \
 n\nWe will also reflect on the governance model that we use\, and some of 
 the challenges and opportunities that have presented themselves over the 7
  years that we have been operating.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Stuart Geiger\nFree and open-source software has beco
 me critical infrastructure for many sectors\, including academic research\
 , industry\, governments\, non-profits\, activism\, and more. In this talk
 \, I share findings and insights from our research team’s mixed-method r
 esearch into the social and technical maintenance of free and open-source 
 software. This is based on interviews with maintainers and stakeholders ac
 ross a wide variety of FOSS projects\, as well as quantitative analyses of
  code repositories. In particular\, I discuss the often-invisible and non-
 technical work that maintainers do to support their projects as they grow 
 and scale. The work of maintaining these projects is no small feat\, parti
 cularly given the many different kinds of work expected of maintainers. Th
 is is especially the case for projects that achieve “catastrophic succes
 s” in being relied upon by more and more users and institutions. \n\nMai
 ntainers must maintain not only code\, but a community around that code. T
 hese communities are constantly changing\, and maintainers can find themse
 lves needing to mediate competing visions of how the project ought to oper
 ate and where it may go in the future. I particularly focus on the invisib
 le work of scaling projects and managing projects as they grow – not jus
 t in terms of their own size\, but also in terms of their integration with
 in complex and ever-changing networks of other FOSS projects and ecosystem
 s\, corporate and academic user-institutions\, foundations and funders\, a
 nd other stakeholders. \n\nThis work is often quite different to the more-
 visible software engineering work that maintainers do early in their proje
 cts. There is often little training or resources for community-based work\
 , which is often not tracked or made visible in the way software engineeri
 ng work is. I discuss how this invisible work can impact maintainers' ment
 al health\, with many cases of burnout arising from maintainers finding th
 emselves overwhelmed with their expanded roles. Invisible work also inters
 ects with other relevant issues to the sustainability of FOSS projects\, i
 ncluding funding models\, corporate relations\, project governance\, and d
 iversity & inclusion. I conclude with recommendations for FOSS maintainers
 \, contributors\, funders\, end-users\, institutional users\, and other st
 akeholders in the broad ecosystems supported by FOSS.

 companies who are trying to run their open source efforts in the same way

  internal best-practices become open source anti-patterns. While the code 
 quality of the technical work is generally unaffected by these\, they can 
 have a chilling effect on community growth\, health\, diversity\, and sust

 at "corporate" open source efforts make in their own open source projects 
 and in their attempts to contribute to the upstreams they depend on. This 
 session might give you some tips as to why your Pull Requests are not gett

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Anna e só\nThe free software movement is not an isol
 ated community—it exists within political\, social\, and economic system
 s. Its concepts\, models\, abstractions were and continue to be built thro
 ugh the cultural lenses of its founders and subsequent creators and mainta
 iners\; its structures were inherited from spaces inaccessible for many. T
 o promote true transformation within the free software space\, we need to 
 avoid the traps of reductionism and dogmatism by adopting a new approach: 
 systems thinking. We'll examine the problems with conventional thinking in
  FOSS\, discussing how it fails the most vulnerable\, and work towards new
  strategies for change.

SUMMARY:The Open Source Demos: Who is Entitled to Vote in an Open Source O

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Watson\nThere are multiple types of open source gover
 nance models that are suitable for larger institutions\, organizations\, a
 nd communities.  In the democratically run open source organization\, the 
 question of ‘who is entitled to vote’ arises.  This problem is known a
 s the ‘boundary problem’ within political philosophy [Whelan\,1983].  
 The principle of affected interests\, loosely stated as “Those who are a
 ffected by a decision making process\, should have input into that decisio
 n making process.” is one way to approach this problem.\n\nGiven the aff
 ected interests principle\, the short answer to “Who is entitled to vote
 ” within an open source organization is the contributors and users.  But
  as soon as we answer the voting entitlement question\, several other ques
 tions concerning the boundary problem arise\, such as: 1) Should the votes
  of contributors be weighted based on contribution size?\;  2) Should the 
 vote of the user be implicit\, i.e.\, should the user’s vote be based on
  consumption or the market?\; 3) What constitutes a contributor or user?\;
  and 4) Who gets to initially decide the answers to all of these questions
 ?\n\nWhile discussion of whether to even be a democratically run organizat
 ion is covered elsewhere [Ellerman\, 1990]\, the difficulty associated wit
 h answering questions are used as disincentives against democratizing in g
 eneral and against democratizing open source organizations specifically\, 
 so we will address them here.

  within institutions of higher education are notably different from those 
 with corporate roots or even founded by individual developers or communiti

 ovement's original mantra of "scratching a personal itch" when compared to
  other projects developed to support commercial interests or ventures. \n\
 nThis session will present the unique motivations\, attributes\, practices
 \, and principles found in academically oriented and research-driven free 
 and open source software projects and\, thus\, how development\, community
 \, governance\, funding\, and all the other requirements to grow and maint
 ain a project successfully differ from many of today's most notable--non-e
 ducational--projects and communities. While this session will reference so
 ftware projects specifically\, attendees with experience with other open e
 ducational initiatives will recognize a common theme and\, thus\, find app
 licable takeaways applicable to their own work.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Delib\nThis talk tells a story of FOSS as it is cente
 red in current trends of world-affairs\, for FOSS is not merely technical 
 coding.  It is a social contract.  One of FOSS' most important possibiliti
 es might be countering perverse incentives in today's internet financing m
 odels.  With the current model\, privacy\, democracy and supply-chain secu
 rity are risked.  Yet no matter what solutions are feasible\, the goal of 
 this talk is to broaden our perspectives out onto the world at large.\n\nT
 he first step is outlining some contemporary problem policy-issues (such a
 s privacy\, encryption\, democracy\, walled gardens\, inter-cultural warfa
 re\, social profiling\, online moderation and left-right divides).  Then t
 he second step is outlining potentials for strategic leverage points\, pla
 ces where FOSS and its related co-operative ecosystems might make large po
 sitive contributions to our futures.  \n\nSoftware is at the center of a b
 road range of topics and ethical concerns affecting every facet of human a
 nd non-human life.  The stakes are large\, but there are so many places to
  make a positive difference:  civil infrastructure\, human-scale interacti
 ons\, the four freedoms (to use\, study\, alter and share FOSS)\, the fedi
 verse\, supply chain audits and especially the feasibility of co-operative
  service models that address questions of ownership and control beyond lic

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Grant Braught\nEngaging students in free and open sou
 rce software (FOSS) projects is educationally rewarding\, however experien
 ce shows that it is challenging for both students and faculty. Engagement 
 in FOSS fosters students’ technical\, professional and personal developm
 ent in ways that "class-size" projects cannot. Students can study and inte
 ract with large\, complex\, real-world software artifacts\, tools\, and de
 velopment processes central to modern software development and in high dem
 and. They can observe and practice professional skills including communica
 tion\, collaboration\, critical thinking\, question asking\, and technical
  writing. In addition\, growing evidence suggests that a context of social
  good\, such as in FOSS projects with humanitarian goals (HFOSS)\, may att
 ract more women and other underrepresented student groups to computing. Ho
 wever\, these advantages come with a number of practical and cultural chal
 lenges. Work in FOSS communities is often less structured\, even chaotic\,
  as compared to traditional academic assignments. The content and timing o
 f community responses to student inquiries and contributions may not align
  well with student background or assignment due dates.  Assignments create
 d around a project can be rendered quickly obsolete as the project evolves
 . As a result\, faculty doing this work have found it difficult to transit
 ion students from classroom activities to participating in open source pro
 jects “in the wild.”\n\nThis talk will present our work on two interme
 diate steps\, HFOSS Kits and Education-Oriented HFOSS Projects\, designed 
 to bridge the gap between classroom activities and student participation i
 n FOSS “in the wild.” An HFOSS kit is a snapshot of an active HFOSS pr
 oject’s artifacts (code-base(s)\, issues\, documentation\, communication
 s\, etc.)\, taken at a particular point in time and packaged with student 
 learning activities\, an instructor guide\, and a containerized developmen
 t environment. Using a snapshot that is independent of the live project cr
 eates an authentic environment\, while enabling the creation of reusable e
 ducational activities and providing a more comfortable space for students 
 to experiment and learn. Using a containerized development environment min
 imizes startup time\, allows automated context-sensitive feedback\, and th
 e simulation of community interaction. Education-Oriented HFOSS Projects\,
  have real clients and are consciously designed and managed to facilitate 
 faculty and undergraduate student engagement.  Some examples managed by ou
 r team include LibreFoodPantry\, FarmData2\, Open Energy Dashboard\, and O
 pen Circuits. These are ongoing projects that continue across semesters an
 d welcome outside participation. They are often humanitarian in nature and
  connect to causes or communities that align with institutional mission an
 d student experiences. They use modern technologies but are architected\, 
 scoped and managed to facilitate student learning\, support specific curri
 cular goals\, accommodate academic schedules\, and understand that these o
 bjectives will slow project development. As entire new cohorts of students
  engage each term\, particular attention is paid to onboarding\, including
  documentation at the appropriate level and fully containerized developmen
 t environments that make the process as easy as possible.\n\nWe have talke
 d about these approaches at computing education conferences and are excite
 d to hear different perspectives on our approaches from FOSS practitioners
  and educators in this community. Thus\, significant time will be allocate
 d for feedback and discussion with the audience.

 Codespaces or Gitpod to feel that dev container magic. DevPod is a new ope

 aform's\, and there are currently providers for many different infrastruct
 ures\, like local Docker daemons\, Kubernetes\, AWS\, and several other cl
 oud providers. It's also possible to develop providers if you don't find o
 ne that fits your needs.\n\nWhile you can choose the infra you want to use
  with DevPod\, you don't have to manage it. DevPod handles the lifecycle o
 f the infrastructure it runs on\, and it can even suspend cloud resources 
 automatically to save on costs. DevPod uses the open devcontainer.json sta
 ndard\, so it's compatible with VS Code and many other IDEs\, as well as t
 ools like Codespaces.\n\nWe'll look at how DevPod works and get into a qui

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sayeed Choudhury\nCarnegie Mellon University's (CMU) 
 CloudLab (https://cloudlab.cmu.edu/) is an example of the growing movement
  toward automated science -- the  "practice of scientific research without
  the need for significant human intervention" (https://cbd.cmu.edu/about-u
 s/what-is-automated-science.html). This recent piece in Science describes 
 another automated science facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laborator
 y focused on "recipes" for materials used in batteries. In some cases\, th
 ese facilities are built for start-up or private companies that explicitly
  do not want to share their trade secrets\, proprietary information\, etc.
  The opportunity at hand with CMU's CloudLab is redesigning and re-enginee
 ring the workflows to be more open and conducive for cooperation within an
 d perhaps beyond the walls of a university. Working with the originators a
 nd CMU leadership of CloudLab\, the CMU OSPO has identified important ques
 tions regarding this redesign and re-engineering process including the dif
 ferent types of artifacts with varying degrees of possible IP issues\, wor
 kflows connecting software and hardware artifacts\, and questions regardin
 g interoperability with external systems. Perhaps most interestingly\, thi
 s work affirms a phrase stated by Josh Greenberg from the Sloan Foundation
  regarding "rolling wall of openness" rather than a binary view of open or
  closed with the prospects of embargoes in a new context. This talk will o
 utline these issues and proposed approaches for addressing them with an ob

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kevin O'Reilly\n​​In the evolving landscape of th
 e digital world\, the Right to Repair movement has made substantial stride
 s towards restoring consumer control and promoting sustainable practices w
 hen it comes to our devices. Coming off a breakthrough year with numerous 
 legislative breakthroughs\, it's important that we understand the building
  blocks of our campaign's success and look to the challenges that lie ahea
 d\, particularly in the realm of free and open-source software (FOSS).\n\n
 So far\, 2023 has seen governors in three states sign Right to Repair bill
 s into law: a consumer electronics focused bill in New York\, a Minnesota 
 law that improved upon the New York bill and added in enterprise electroni
 cs\, and a first-of-its kind Colorado law targeting tractors and other far
 m equipment. We'll talk about the problems that those bills solve\, the in
 dustries that we still need to address\, and our plan to make translate th
 ose state-level victories into nationwide change.\n\nAll this progress did
 n't occur overnight. We'll explore the strategic and tactical building blo
 cks that contributed to the success of the Right to Repair movement\, and 
 dissect the combination of advocacy\, legislation\, and public education c
 ampaigns that were instrumental turning our policy ideas into concrete cha
 nge.\n\nThe conversation will then shift to discuss the next push for this
  movement: breaking free from the confines of proprietary software. As our
  focus expands from hardware to software\, the talk will illuminate the im
 portance of FOSS in establishing full ownership of devices and how FOSS ca
 n help bridge the gap between physical and digital repairability. In parti
 cular\, we'll discuss the infrastructure that we need to build—coalition
 s\, research\, legal arguments\, and engineering capacity—and the increm
 ental steps we need to take to bring about our vision\, all with an eye to
 ward the model that the Right to Repair movement has established.\n\nFinal
 ly\, this talk will address the role of the FOSS community in pushing for 
 the same level of success as the Right to Repair movement. It will shed li
 ght on how the community needs to rethink and intensify its efforts to pro
 mote open-source software\, ensure user freedom\, and counter the monopoli
 stic practices of proprietary software developers. Suggestions will be off
 ered for actionable steps that the FOSS community can take to leverage the
 ir resources\, foster collaborative innovation\, and drive significant cha
 nge in this space.\n\nThis talk promises to offer a holistic view of the R
 ight to Repair movement\, its intersection with FOSS\, and a call to actio
 n for the open-source community. By looking at where we've been\, where we
  stand\, and where we need to go\, we can chart our path into the next fro
 ntier for our digital rights and ownership.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wm Salt Hale\nWith the upheaval of Twitter many folks
  have been forced to wonder what would happen if their platform were taken
  away. Will all of your witty Tweets be lost to time or attributed to some
 one else? What about your Swarm check-ins\, Instagram stories\, and other 
 social shares? And why do we have to decide which walled garden to post ou
 r thoughts in?\n\nThe IndieWeb has been growing since 2013 and strives to 
 create an alternative to content silos and the 'corporate web'. This is ac
 hieved through creating a single source of truth for your content and iden
 tity aka a personal domain. There are three core concepts that are importa
 nt to understanding this movement: 'Your content is yours' not FB/Twitter/
 etc\, 'You are better connected' by pushing to multiple services\, and 'Yo
 u are in control' of the content\, format\, and permanence of your links.\
 n\nLet's explore what a small-web might look like\, discuss questions of c
 ontent ownership\, and see what steps one has to take to join the IndieWeb
 \, together!

 ting task. There are multiple options to start engaging\, but no one gives
  you a clear path to some level of success. There are stories of advanced 
 math or massive computing required\; there must be an easier way. Or\, in 
 another way to describe it\, we all don’t need to develop Microsoft Word
 \, but it’s essential to know how to use Microsoft Word.\n\nIn this talk
 \, I’ll be walking through an Open Source project called Caikit which is
  an Open Source wrapper around multiple AI portions of the ecosystem\, so 
 you can see the flexibility that it can give you.  We will start with a si
 mple whistle-stop tour of how to understand the AI space then how to acces
 s public Open Source models. Then we will move over to my laptop live demo
 ing the Caikit via local containers and cached models to show how easy it 
 is to play with it locally. From there\, we will take the demo to the clou
 d and show a way to deploy it to OpenShift and be able to have an API that
  can respond with said model(s).\n\nWalking out of this room\, you’ll se
 e how easy it can be with Open Source software\; with a little effort on y
 our computer and downloading some Open Source models\, you can start lever
 aging AI with confidence.

  to navigate this transition successfully. Furthermore\, we will delve int
 o the benefits we discovered by embracing community involvement in the dev
 elopment process.\n\nSpace Station 13 stands out as one of the largest ope
 n source game development communities\, attracting thousands of individual
  contributors over the course of a decade. Through active player participa
 tion\, Space Station 13 has transformed into a collaborative development c
 ommunity where anyone can make their mark on the game. Players-turned-cont
 ributors are the forefront of development\, constantly adding more unique 
 features (and bugs). These efforts have resulted in a high velocity of 10-
 20 contributions per day\, underscoring the power of open source and commu
 nity development on a large scale.\n\nIn this talk\, I will focus on the G
 oonstation flavor of the game\, examining the development community’s pr
 ogression after open-sourcing the codebase in 2020. By sharing the strateg
 ies we employed to better connect with and hear from our community\, I aim
  to provide insights into the growth and management of a thriving developm
 ent community with a focus on player contributions. Additionally\, I will 
 cover our failures along the way\, highlighting the lessons we gleaned fro
 m the things we tried that ultimately just didn't work out for us.\n\nBy d
 elving into both successes and failures\, this talk aims to provide a comp
 rehensive retrospective on the process of transitioning from a closed-sour
 ce model to a community-developed open-source one. Attendees will gain pra
 ctical knowledge on fostering community involvement\, managing collaborati
 on at scale\, and navigating the unique dynamics of open-source game devel

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Daniel Shown\nIntegration of an Academic Open Source 
 Program Office (OSPO) as a Research Software Engineering (RSE) group withi
 n a university environment offers a distinctive approach to fostering open
  source collaboration and enhancing research software engineering practice
 s. The utilization of students as developers within such a program highlig
 hts their unique contributions\, benefits\, and the challenges involved.\n
 \nThe growing recognition of research software as a fundamental component 
 of the scientific process has led to the establishment of both academic OS
 POs and RSE groups. These groups aim to enhance software engineering pract
 ices within research projects\, enabling robust and sustainable software s
 olutions. The integration of an OSPO into an RSE group within a university
  environment provides an intriguing fusion of open source principles and r
 esearch software engineering expertise.\n\nEngaging students as developers
  in an OSPO-RSE group brings numerous advantages. It provides students wit
 h valuable experience in real-world software development\, enabling them t
 o bridge the gap between academia and industry. By actively participating 
 in open source projects\, students can refine their technical skills\, lea
 rn industry best practices\, and gain exposure to collaborative software d
 evelopment workflows. Involving students in open source projects enhances 
 their educational experience. They have the opportunity to work on meaning
 ful research software projects alongside experienced professionals\, tackl
 ing real-world challenges and making tangible contributions to the scienti
 fic community. This exposure to open source principles and practices foste
 rs a culture of innovation\, collaboration\, and knowledge sharing.\n\nThi
 s approach also raises questions. How can the objectives and metrics of su
 ccess for an academic OSPO-RSE group be defined and evaluated? What govern
 ance models and collaboration mechanisms are required to balance the acade
 mic freedom of researchers with the community-driven nature of open source
 ? How can the potential conflicts between traditional academic practices a
 nd the open source ethos be effectively addressed? How can teams balance a
 cademic commitments with project timelines? These questions highlight the 
 need for careful consideration and exploration of the organizational\, cul
 tural\, and ethical aspects associated with an OSPO acting as an RSE group
  within a university.\n\nLeveraging student developers in an OSPO-RSE grou
 p also presents challenges that need careful consideration. Students may h
 ave limited experience in software engineering practices\, requiring mento
 ring and guidance to ensure the quality and sustainability of the research
  software they contribute to. Balancing academic commitments with project 
 timelines and expectations can also be a challenge\, necessitating effecti
 ve project management strategies and clear communication channels. Further
 more\, the ethical considerations of involving students as developers in o
 pen source projects must be addressed\, ensuring the protection of intelle
 ctual property\, respecting licensing requirements\, and maintaining data 
 privacy.\n\nThe involvement of students as developers within an OSPO-RSE g
 roup offers valuable benefits. The effective integration of students in th
 is context requires thoughtful planning\, mentorship\, and attention to et
 hical considerations. This talk will examine the experience of the Open So
 urce with SLU program to explore the dynamic role of student developers in
  an OSPO-RSE program and engage in discussions on best practices\, challen
 ges\, and the future potential of this distinctive approach to research so
 ftware engineering within academia.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Stephanie Youngman\nUniTime was born from a collabora
 tive research project many years ago and has always strived to move both t
 he course timetabling and the student scheduling research communities forw
 ard.  With the help of Apereo sponsorship we have done this by being one 
 of the organizers of the 2019 International Timetabling Competition. By le
 veraging the community of UniTime users to gather the benchmark data sets 
 for that competition\, more real world data is now available and actively 
 being used for the next generation of research. This presentation will dis
 cuss thoughts on how other open source projects could use this approach.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Georg Link\nEach open source community is different a
 nd therefore requires different metrics for data-driven decisions about bu
 ilding and supporting it. What makes it so tricky is that everyone pays at
 tention to different aspects of communities. In this talk\, we will explor
 e what metrics are available to look at communities and to track the impac
 t of changes we make as we build and support them. \n\nWe will look at rea
 l-world examples of how metrics have been used to build and support open s
 ource communities. This is based on conversations in the CHAOSS Project\, 
 an open source community that defined metrics and developed software to ge
 t these metrics. This talk will share what we have learned in the CHAOSS P
 roject about having metrics for open source communities. Once the right me
 trics have been decided on\, both technical and organizational challenges 
 need to be overcome\, which we discuss how to do.\n\nThis is an interactiv
 e session. The three sections of the talk introduce the topic to everyone.
  The majority of the time will be available for discussion among the parti
 cipants.

  but perceptions around “usability” and “user friendliness” are st

 f existing open data and open source tools (including OpenStreetMap\, Fiel
 d Papers\, QGIS)\n    *Stores information about assets and hazards\n    * 
 Can be printed and stored offline\n    * Can be added to or edited by peop
 le across the city to provide information specific to their neighborhood\n
     * Does not require a stable group of technical administrators\n    * C
 reates a replicable process that other cities can use to build their own m
 aps\n\nI’ll share insights from our collaboration with the SFFD NERT (Ne

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Heid Ellis\nMeeting the strong demand for computing p
 rofessionals will require attracting and retaining more students in comput
 ing degree programs. Women and people of color are significantly underrepr
 esented among computing students\, and these groups provide an opportunity
  to both create a more equitable discipline and meet the need for more com
 puting graduates. In order to attract more of these students\, computing e
 ducators must improve the quality\, appeal and student success rate in com
 puting degree programs.\n\nThis presentation discusses an education effort
  that helps to address this challenge by expanding the community of facult
 y incorporating Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software (HFOSS) into co
 mputing education. HFOSS education provides a collaborative environment th
 at supports active learning with real-world tasks. Students gain both tech
 nical and professional skills while also acquiring a first-hand understand
 ing of the potential for computing to have both social relevance and posit
 ive societal impact. The ability of computing to “do good” has been sh
 own to attract women and other underrepresented groups into computing disc
 iplines.\n\nThe project is intended to have broader impact in the followin
 g areas: a) improving student retention and expanding appeal to women and 
 underrepresented groups\; b) providing real-world learning of professional
  and technical skills in a complex\, authentic environment that prepares s
 tudents for professional practice\; c) extending understanding of the impa
 ct of HFOSS pedagogy and approaches on student and instructor role and ide
 ntities\; and d) increasing student understanding of the potential of comp
 uting to improve the human condition and in student awareness of professio
 nal responsibility.\n\nInitial work has included several surveys of underg
 raduate students (209 and 360 participants) that indicate women and underr
 epresented groups are more strongly motivated by the humanitarian nature o
 f HFOSS projects. The presentation will include results of these surveys a
 nd discussion of HFOSS education as an approach to making computing more d
 iverse while also advancing student knowledge of open source.

 lved. Responsibility for data\, properly storing and retrieving data\, sca
 lably processing data… it can be a bit much. This talk will focus on a l
 ater-stage of the data lifecycle: serving data visualizations and analysis
  with sustainability in mind.\nAbout a year ago\, our team had to pick whi
 ch tool we wanted to use to serve data visualizations and metrics to stake
 holders. We had a laundry-list of requirements\, some being deal-breakers 
 while others were nice-to-haves. Our final verdict was a project that fit 
 specific needs for us as a data science team\, but in the process of choos
 ing\, we piloted a diverse variety of other alternative projects.\nThe fra
 mework for this talk is simple: introduce a collection of stand-out data v
 isualization projects and discuss the pros and cons of each as we see them
  for a variety of use cases. \nAll considered projects are open source. Th
 ey will be introduced in ascending order of interface complexity- and perh
 aps descending order of customizability. For example\, the first project p
 rovides the user with a UI for doing data analysis- a later project will r
 equire a Python back-end. \nThe intended take-away of this talk is to prov
 ide attendees with a survey of projects that could serve them\, and to sho
 rtcut the attendees own path toward finding a solution that works best for
  their team\, minimizing platform-churn and saving time.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Gregory W. Hislop\nIn an ideal world\, students would
  graduate from college with a comprehensive understanding of open source a
 nd an ability to contribute to an open source community in some significan
 t way.  In reality\, while all students know about open source and most st
 udents use open source products\, very few students have much understandin
 g of open source.  Students do not know how large open source is\, they ha
 ve no idea that open source can be a career\, and little awareness of the 
 tools and processes that make open source communities successful.  This pr
 esentation will present results of surveys that exemplify the very shallow
  student understanding of open source.  \n\nImproving open source educatio
 n would benefit both students and open source communities.  Student benefi
 ts from open source participation include exposure to an evolving\, comple
 x software system\, development of professional skills\, improved technica
 l skills\, better understanding of team-based development in a distributed
  environment and more.\n\nOpen source communities can also benefit from st
 udent participation. Students can relieve more experienced developers from
  routine tasks such as bug verification and documentation\, and they have 
 added incentive to participate due to class requirements. In addition\, st
 udents can be supported by academic infrastructure so that they are not re
 lying solely on the OSS community for learning.  Finally\, open source edu
 cation will help ensure a continuing flow of professional developers into 
 open source projects.\n\nIn order to prepare students for open source\, st
 udents must learn about open source culture\, tools\, and processes.. Unfo
 rtunately\, many schools are not teaching even basic open source tools suc
 h as version control\, issue trackers\, and CI/CD pipelines\, and only a s
 mall number of schools are covering open source processes or culture.  How
  can educators better prepare students for open source by  incorporating t
 hese necessary skills and information into an undergraduate program? This 
 talk will discuss the gap between undergraduate computing education and op
 en source community expectations\, the reasons for this gap\, and approach
 es for bridging the gap.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rosanna Yuen\nCrossword puzzles are a fun pastime enj
 oyed around the world. Last year at GUADEC\, the GNOME Crosswords app was 
 introduced with much fanfare. Part of this app is a crossword editor that 
 gives you the tools to create your own crosswords. Over the past year\, we
 ’ve been trying to get a free-software crossword community off the groun
 d.\n\nThis talk will go through some of the various types of crosswords\, 
 their history\, and their differences. It will cover the steps of how and 
 how to create puzzles using Crosswords. We will cover hints on how to buil
 d grids and hopefully inspire people to try their hand at creating more cr
 osswords we can all enjoy.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Eriol Fox\nThe Usable Software Ecosystem Research (US
 ER) project was initiated by Superbloom Design and funded by the Sloan Fou
 ndation. It explores how Scientific & Research open- source software teams
  understand\, consider\, and undertake usability and design opportunities 
 in their projects.\n\nThrough a variety of design research methods such as
  literature reviews\, semi- structured interviews\, surveys\, and ecosyste
 m mapping\, the research aims to obtain a better understanding of:\n\n1. H
 ow norms in academic\, science\, and/or open- source working environments 
 affect the choices teams make around their users and different kinds of de
 sign interventions.\n\n2. How team dynamics and trust affects those choice
 s.\n\n3. What teams would need to be interested in or able to prioritize u
 sability and design in their work.\n\nIn this short talk\, we'll give an o
 verview of our findings but specifically zoom in on the ways in which Scie
 ntific and Research OSS (S&R OSS) contributors/teams leverage community sp
 aces\, interactions and documents to make user-informed choices about how 
 to make their documentation and tools better.  There will then be a critic
 al review of how design research trained individuals might iterate and imp
 rove on these practices to make usability and design even better in S&R OS
 S.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Carlos Turró-Ribalta\nOpencast is an open-source vid
 eo recording and distribution system specifically designed for academic in
 stitutions and organizations that want to capture\, process\, and distribu
 te educational video content. It provides tools and services for recording
  conferences\, presentations\, classes\, and other events in video format 
 and then processing and distributing the resulting content in various form
 ats.\nOpencast offers features such as automatic video and audio capture\,
  metadata management\, content indexing\, basic video editing\, and integr
 ation with learning management systems (LMS) and media repositories. It al
 lows educational institutions to create online video content libraries and
  facilitate access through digital platforms.\nIt has been deployed in mor
 e than one hundred Higher education institutions and has a vibrant ecosyst
 em of tools. Recently the community has developed a new video portal (Tobi
 ra) an updated player focusing in accessibility (Paella Player)\, a new pe
 rsonal recorder\, and an updated video editor. Being an open-source platfo
 rm\, Opencast also enables collaboration and customization according to th
 e needs of each institution. It also has an active community of developers
  and users who contribute to the ongoing development and improvement of th
 e system.\nIn my talk I will present the new & updated capabilities of the
  system\, and I will argue about how important is to have an Open Source v
 ideo platform specially targeted for lectures.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Anita Sarma\nIn the world of open source software (OS
 S) development\, attracting and retaining motivated developers is key to a
  project's sustainability and long-term survival.  \nMany of us recognize 
 the lack of diversity in OSS projects and the barriers that individuals fr
 om underrepresented groups face\, but what can we do to retain diverse con
 tributors? In this talk\, I will present two evidence-based dashboards to 
 help attract and retain diverse contributors. The first dashboard provides
  a set of real-time insights to track community turnover and diversity\, a
 nd focuses on gender and affiliation diversity. The second dashboard deter
 mines contributors’ survivability likelihood in the project. These dashb
 oards can empower project leaders to assess the diverse state of their pro
 jects and take relevant action to promote diversity in their projects

 e of people\, vendors\, timelines\, communication channels and cultural no
 rms. The use of free software therein\, takes an interesting role as both 
 activism and pragmatism. This talk will focus on the use and challenges of
  trying to plan my wedding with my fiancée with as much free software as 
 possible. Lessons we learned in trying to understand the wedding software 
 space\, replacements to common proprietary tools\, challenges faced by bot
 h proprietary and free software\, and how we can make advocacy more stream
 lined when dealing with people outside the software freedom movement.
