DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Karen Sandler\nAs free software has taken over the wo
 rld\, we've seen large contributions from corporations. This large adoptio
 n has led to more contributors (code\, community and financial) than we ev
 er dreamed. Unfortunately what this has caused is somewhat of a dependence
  on corporate funding and place making for our communities. Now we are fac
 ed with the question of now that free and open source software has taken o
 ver the world\, how do we continue to build and use it outside of corporat
 e contexts. Whether governmental\, non-profit\, education\, or elsewhere\,
  how do we make sure there is a digital future that is not reliant upon fi
 nancing from corporations

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dawn Foster\nSustaining FOSS projects and communities
  over the long-term can be a challenge. Project leaders and contributors a
 re busy people who don’t always have the time or experience to focus on 
 growing a community and maintaining their software. Using metrics is one w
 ay to help FOSS projects identify potential issues and identify areas wher
 e they can improve their community to make it more sustainable over the lo
 ng-term. Being proactive about improving sustainability before it becomes 
 a crisis can help make our software more sustainable and reliable for all 
 of us. However\, not everyone has the experience or skills required to kno
 w how to interpret their metrics and use what they learn to make improveme
 nts within their community.\n\nThe CHAOSS project has been creating a seri
 es of MIT licensed Practitioner Guides focused on helping bridge the gap b
 etween research and practice to improve the sustainability of our software
  and communities. The guides are designed to make it easier for people to 
 draw meaningful and actionable insights using community metrics\, even whe
 n those people do not necessarily have a deep background in data analysis 
 or much experience working within FOSS communities.\n\nThis talk will iden
 tify several categories of metrics from the Practitioner Guide Series (e.g
 .\, responsiveness\, contributor sustainability\, organizational participa
 tion)\, discuss how to interpret the metrics\, and provide ideas for impro
 ving in areas identified using the metrics. The audience will walk away wi
 th a better understanding of how to use metrics to proactively improve the
  long-term sustainability of their FOSS projects and communities.

 wever\, has led us to begin exploring the relationships between knowledge 
 discovery outputs\, the tools used in the knowledge discovery process\, an
 d the UN's 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs).\n\nWe are asking ourse
 lves the questions:\n\nWhat knowledge\, discovered recently or decades ago
 \, supports the advancement of the SDGs? \nWhat FOSS tools are used in kno
 wledge discovery that supports the advancement of the SDGs? \nWho develops
 \, maintains\, and grows the communities behind the FOSS tools used in kno
 wledge discovery that supports the advancement of the SDGs? \nWhat communi

 o develop\, maintain\, and grow the communities behind the FOSS tools used
  in knowledge discovery that supports the advancement of the SDGs?\nWhat i
 s the impact of a change (addition of funding\, loss of funding\, tooling 
 innovations\, etc.) in the network of actors and infrastructure behind SDG
  progress?\nWhat data points are most valuable for answering these questio
 ns?\nUltimately\, how can we track\, analyze\, and visualize the data\, da
 ta that we know exists\, in a way that can inform actionable\, sustainable
  outcomes in the advancement of the SDGs?\n\nAnd in this room at FOSSY\, w
 e'll be asking them out loud and discussing them with whoever cares to joi

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Darrick J. Wong\nI spent seven years serving as the m
 aintainer of the XFS filesystem and iomap filesystem library in the Linux 
 kernel.  Whilst on that journey\, I learned a lot about steering technical
  direction of those two projects\, but also the limitations of managing a 
 community without authority.  I intend this talk to be most helpful for pe
 ople who are current FOSS maintainers or are mid to senior level developer
 s contemplating taking on such roles.\n\nThese are the six skills that I f
 ound most helpful and grew the most in those seven years:\n * Concocting a
  strategy from which to build a development roadmap\n * Defining roles for
  people to take on\n * Negotiating staffing and budgets with managers\n * 
 Coaching people who are trying to get their efforts across the finish line
 \n * Dealing with external shocks in as principled a manner as possible\n 
 * Steering your way out of burnout\, aka Replacing Yourself\n\nFor each of
  these areas\, I'll share how that skill fits into the Linux community (th
 ey didn't always fit well!) and what happened when I tried to make things 
 happen in those areas.  I will target spending about 4-5 minutes talking a
 bout each of those points and leave 20-25 minutes at the end for an audien
 ce discussion.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nisha Kumar\nOpen Source won. We see it in the large 
 number of software projects created and used by other software projects. M
 ost of our modern day software\, including AI\, runs on a large number of 
 open source software projects. Working in a cloud company that produces an
 d deploys software at scale\, I see a lot of phenomenon that look very muc
 h like what I used to see when I worked in semiconductor manufacturing an 
 age ago. Examples of these are drift from the norm\, heisenbugs\, emergent
  properties\, and just ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ things.\n\nThe physical world is ful
 l of these types of phenomenon. We deal with it by using probability and s
 tatistics - accepting that we can't give a "true" or "false" answer\, but 
 settling for a continuous "maybe". This is a talk about looking at softwar
 e production at a larger scale than just the single artisanal "app". We wi
 ll apply probability and statistics to open source software at scale\, and
  use some "Machine Learning" to get some insights into how the single app 
 is the product of\, and part of a somewhat unknowable whole.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Abhishek Gupta\nThe recent trend of leading AI labs e
 ither open-sourcing their models or restricting access has ignited a criti
 cal debate: How should we share increasingly capable AI models? Open-sourc
 ing\, the practice of making model architecture and weights freely accessi
 ble\, has been a cornerstone of software and AI development\, fostering ex
 ternal oversight\, accelerating progress\, and decentralizing control. Yet
 \, as AI models become more powerful\, the risks of misuse and unintended 
 consequences escalate.\n\nThis talk scrutinizes the delicate balance betwe
 en the benefits and risks of open-sourcing highly capable foundation model
 s. While open-sourcing has historically been a boon\, we contend that for 
 certain future models\, the potential dangers may outweigh the advantages.
  We propose that such models should not be open-sourced\, at least initial
 ly\, to mitigate these risks.\n\nExploring alternative strategies\, we del
 ve into non-open-source model sharing options that could safeguard the ben
 efits of open-source while minimizing potential harms. Our recommendations
  aim to guide developers\, standard-setting bodies\, and governments in es
 tablishing safe and responsible model sharing practices\, ensuring that th
 e progress of AI remains both open and secure.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Onexi\nThe open source world is one filled with oppor
 tunity\, for collaboration\, for learning\, and brimming with experiences.
  It allows for ideas and communities to come about regardless of backgroun
 d\, for the sake of a common goal. If only I knew about it sooner. I learn
 ed of open source in my last semester of college\, and I believe it can tr
 ansform our education as it is now.\n\nLet’s propose a thought experimen
 t. Suppose that you are back in college and open source is a widespread co
 ncept in education\, not as it is right now\, but as widely known as the i
 dea of internships\, for example. Opportunities for open source projects w
 ould exist for every discipline\, allowing for the collaboration among stu
 dents from art\, literature\, business\, engineering\, and more. Open sour
 ce would be more diverse\, allowing for other disciplines to pick up the w
 ork where another may falter. A developer might be too clear cut to write 
 out friendly documentation for newcomers to a project\, and a writer might
  be too non-technical to explain certain technologies in depth\, but both 
 people collaborating could create great documentation. If it sounds famili
 ar in any way\, it is essentially how people work in the real world\, at a
  company. Meaning\, that if you had open source in your education you coul
 d adapt to working with other disciplines that are not studying the same t
 hing as you\, on a project that can have a real world impact.\n\nCollege s
 tudents would trick themselves into creating their own company\, a pseudo 
 startup. Many ideas flourish in young minds\, but never come to fruition\,
  maybe due to lack of resources\, or not having the right people around. A
  lot of times\, given a lack of knowledge\, or the overwhelming feeling of
  doing lots of work that could have no impact\, they never see the light. 
 College is a place filled with diversity of knowledge and experiences\, li
 ke open source. If a school club existed which allowed any major to join\,
  bundle together\, and create an open source project of their choosing whi
 le leaving each student a piece of the puzzle to fulfill\, it would essent
 ially have the same structure as a real company\, more or less. Think abou
 t the many app/company ideas that have crossed your mind. Would you have t
 ried to make them if you had open source? \n\nStudents can experience the 
 real world and create a real project\, from the comfort of their home. Peo
 ple have different circumstances\, and many students fail to gain experien
 ce in their field right out of college. Whether it be personal circumstanc
 es\, failing to get chosen for internships\, or not having the time to do 
 extracurriculars\, there are many reasons why students fail to learn what 
 real world work is like. Open source projects would allow a student to app
 ly their skills regardless of time frame or location\, given that they hav
 e a laptop on hand. Moreover\, these skills can be directly applicable int
 o the real world\, as you work with people with different backgrounds towa
 rds a common goal.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: LX Cast\nTo build social tech infrastructure that sup
 ports our collective well-being\, we need to include decentralized\, open 
 source\, and slow-growth options. However\, these approaches have historic
 ally fallen outside traditional tech funding mechanisms. \n\nTech that sup
 ports collective well-being should meet real needs\, solve real problems\,
  be usable\, and be purpose-built\, not seeing people as an exploitable re
 source or means to extract. So how can projects like these be sustainable\
 , secure\, and built in collaboration with communities? We think that peop
 le putting money into projects should be part of the project design team\,
  so that their expertise\, experience\, and motivations can be both repres
 ented and explicitly weighed in the context of the problem the technology 
 hopes to solve. \n\nIn other words\, we need to co-design our financial mo
 dels to find strategies that support the holistic goals of the makers\, co
 mmunity\, and capital suppliers. In this workshop\, we will explore some o
 f the mechanisms that might lead to co-design frameworks\, and surface str
 ategies from participants. We will learn from one another what has worked 
 and what hasn’t\, and re-imagine how people putting money into FOSS migh
 t be collaborators with us and the communities we’re designing and build

 bout their careers\, whether it be a transition into something new or grow
 th from within\, the default seems to be to focus on what you don't know o
 r who you need to morph into to get to where you want to go. You don't nee
 d to learn 5 new languages\, refactor all your code\, earn 3 new skills\, 
 and build 2 websites and an API to show you are good enough. Guess what\, 
 you already are enough.  You also don't need to transform yourself into so
 mebody you think you should be in order to fit in or find acceptance. You 
 are amazing just as you are. This is all hard work looking a little more d
 eeply at ourselves\, but let's find strategies to elevate the way we think
  and talk about ourselves\, connect to our why\, and be comfortable sharin
 g the true essence of who we are. In a time where loneliness is at an all 
 time high\, how can we also build meaningful community and create spaces\,
  interview practices\, and culture for everyone to find safety in bringing
  their authentic selves\, connect to purpose\, and be valued. And finally\
 , why are we doing any of this if we can't find the joy in it. This talk i
 s meant to inspire you to tap into the leadership qualities and value you 
 already have instead of focusing on the deficits\, and for all of us\, esp
 ecially those with the power to do so\, to start building better spaces fo
 r for all of us to exist in and start creating better community all around
 . We all can use a little more belonging these days.

  most poorly understood parts of the Open\nSource Definition\, and the one
 s that would-be license writers most\nfrequently want to compromise. They 
 are not a moral requirement\;\ninstead\, they are compulsive in order to s

  tackle these situations\, National Institute of Infomatics (NII) has been
  developing and operating a nation-wide RDM platform "Gakunin RDM" for the
  entire Japanese higher educational institutions. Currently over 100 insti

 epetitive to and from multiple steps including  data labeling\, data clean
 ing\, preprocessing and feature selection methods during model training\, 
 just to arrive at an accurate model.\n\nQuality ML at scale is only possib
 le when we can reproduce a specific iteration of the ML experiment–and t
 his is where data is key. This means: capturing the version of training da
 ta\, ML code and model artifacts at each iteration is mandatory. However\,
  to efficiently version ML experiments without duplicating code\, data and
  models\, data versioning tools are required. Open source tools like lakeF
 S make it possible to version all components of ML experiments without the
  need to keep multiple copies\, and as an added benefit\, save you storage
  costs as well.\n\nIn this talk\, you will learn how to use a data version
 ing engine to intuitively and easily version your ML experiments and repro
 duce any specific iteration of the experiment.\n\nThis talk will demo thro
 ugh a live code example:\n• Creating a basic ML experimentation framewor
 k with lakeFS (on Jupyter notebook)\n• Reproducing ML components from a 
 specific iteration of an experiment\n• Building intuitive\, zero-mainten
 ance experiments infrastructure\n\nAll with common OSS data engineering st
 acks & open source tooling.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Matt Gaughan\nWithout safeguards or redundancies\, FO
 SS maintainers can find themselves unsupported in the upkeep of projects\;
  this can concentrate risk\, jeopardizing project health and software secu
 rity.  The suggestions for better community governance are often the same:
  grow documentation\, recruit new maintainers\, expand what it means to be
  a contributor. But does this common advice actually work? What impact do 
 these prescriptions actually have in growing the project's maintainer comm
 unity?\n\nStudying over 2\,000 FOSS projects packaged in the Debian distri
 bution\, we test how the popular recommendations of publishing README and 
 CONTRIBUTING files actually impact project contribution activity and the r
 ecruitment of maintainers. Our work finds that\, contrary to popular recom
 mendations\, governance files are often newly published in response to inc
 reased project activity and that the benefit of this new documentation is 
 not always immediate. Further descriptive analysis of initial governance d
 ocuments show a wide range of content and forms across projects as communi
 ties adopt standards and formats from different traditions. \n\nIn this ta
 lk\, we will discuss our results and what they might mean for maintainers.
   We hope that maintainers will share their own experiences around communi
 ty governance\, project documentation\, and FOSS evolution. Our empirical 
 results are the starting point of a community conversation around the util
 ity of governance files and how projects can better employ these documents
  for project health\; we look forward to this talk opening a broader discu
 ssion about project organization and presentation.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sriram Ramkrishna\nFree and Open Source Software ecos
 ystems evolve in curious ways. In the beginning\, when we thought about op
 en source software\, we limited ourselves to applying it to the desktop an
 d the web. \n\nKernel\, user-space\, and application frameworks worked tog
 ether closely to recreate the user experience that we\, as nerds\, grew up
  on. Over time as the utility of open source software became a part of ent
 erprise and business\, we moved away from the desktop into the data center
 . Then\, came the myriad of technologies... from databases to containers..
 ..we are all familiar with today. The Linux-based desktop was relegated to
  the tinkerer\, the curious\, and the nostalgic. Developers moved to MacOS
  as the serious developer tool of choice. As investment moved away from th
 e desktop and application ecosystem\, it seemed that the bright light of t
 his ecosystem had been diminished.\n\n Away from center stage\, amazing th
 ings are happening in the app ecosystem. A greater sense of collaboration 
 prevails\, and this not quite hidden from view ecosystem is flourishing.\n
 \nThe Flathub App store has 2600 apps and is adding 40 new apps a month.  
 By the end of 2024\, it’s projected that Flathub will have over 3000 app
 s ranging from developer oriented apps to apps on the go. Let's look at ho
 w this ecosystem is thriving and ushering in a renaissance. Expect to hear
  a short history lesson on the app ecosystem's influence on the Linux plat
 form before focusing on the apps and where we are today.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Timmy James Barnett\nThe music industry is cluttered 
 with proprietary software and hardware. Musicians get locked into non-free
  technologies. There is even a professional pressure to use proprietary to
 ols as though it is just part of making music in today's modern society. A
 pple computers are even seen by many as a default for beginner and profess
 ional musicians. When someone says they don't regularly use MacOS\, Window
 s is assumed. But you can make great music without compromising Human Tech
  Rights by using Free Software and GNU/Linux\, a far superior operating sy
 stem to proprietary alternatives.\n\nTechnology is such a great tool for m
 usic. The development of technology supports the development of music. Thi
 s is why musicians should be using Free Software and supporting a Free com
 munity. Philosophers\, mathematicians\, music performers and theorists hav
 e been coming up with many different ways of how to tune instruments for t
 housands of years. With the Internet\, musicians can find out so much of w
 hat has been done in the past as well as what is possible now. The world o
 f tuning keeps coming up with exciting new and innovative ways to organize
  possible pitches. \n\nHowever\, even with something as exciting as new mo
 dern instruments and software that can inspire so much great music\, we se
 e so many new things that are proprietary. This world of proprietary puts 
 unnecessary restrictions on what should be an open and creative process th
 at is inviting for both amateurs and professionals. Why are companies maki
 ng non-free software tools just for users to be able to even experience th
 e sounds of notes that are decades\, centuries or millennia old? Why shoul
 d we have restrictions on the great notes both historic and modern from Af
 rica\, India\, and the Middle East\, that are not found on standard Wester
 n instruments in the local Western music store? We have such a great tool 
 all around us\, the computer. Computers should come to our aid in a way th
 at inspires more music and community on a global scale. \n\nThis talk show
 s some great Free technologies\, instruments and software. All software is

 or the day to come when digital sovereignty is the norm. However\, how do 
 we get there from where we are now?\n\nWhile installing GNU/Linux onto you
 r own computer and avoiding proprietary software may be helpful for your p
 ersonal freedom\, these actions fail to persuade others to change their de
 ep-seeded habits. Informing friends and family about software freedom is c
 ertainly important\, but folks have an understandably hard time transition
 ing. So what are we to do about it?\n\nMentoring youth interested in techn
 ology to be contributing members of the free software projects can have a 
 lasting impact. Youth are more amenable to change\, and they have more tim
 e to learn and try new things. Moreover\, youth who are able to not only u
 nderstand the *philosophy* of software freedom -- but to *exercise* those 
 freedoms -- stand ready to make a significant and lasting impact\, both fo
 r themselves and those around them.\n\nAt Sugar Labs\, we create tools for
  learning. The tools are FOSS. The source code published\, even during dev
 elopment. We invite youth to contribute to our software\, solving issues u
 nder community mentorship and developing their skills. Plus\, many of our 
 tools help students to learn programming\, which helps our youngest learne
 rs prepare for their next steps (at Sugar Labs or elsewhere). As a result\
 , we have some repositories with over two-hundred contributors\, many of w
 hom are in high school or college. Moreover\, students who have stayed wit
 h us for a sustained period have reported their successes in later FOSS en
 deavors.\n\nThis talk will examine education and mentorship as a strategy 
 to bring free software into the mainstream\, both because it helps give yo
 uth the experience they need to better understand the implications of soft
 ware freedom as well as helps to guide youth into free software communitie
 s where they can continue to make a lasting positive impact.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Stephanie Lieggi\nThe growth of Open Source Program O
 ffices (OSPOs) in institutions of higher education has helped advance the 
 development\, use and long-term stewardship of open source software and pr
 actice. This new movement is also enabling new and unique pathways to furt
 her the impact of university research and improving the educational opport
 unities for the next generation of open source leaders. Since 2020\, more 
 than a dozen universities in the US\, as well as a number in Europe\, have
  piloted OSPO efforts on their campuses with promising results. One of the
  first OSPOs in a public university was at the University of California\, 
 Santa Cruz (UCSC). Building on the experience gained at UCSC\,  in May 202
 4\, six out of the ten University of California (UC) campuses began workin
 g to build the first of its kind systemwide OSPO network. This ambitious e
 ffort\, funded through the Alfred P Sloan Foundation\, allows each campus 
 to develop infrastructure that promotes individual areas of excellence whi
 le leveraging the expertise of the entire network. \n\nThis presentation w
 ill showcase the foundational work of UCSC in building an OSPO over the pa
 st three years and will discuss the early work of the other campuses in wo
 rking together to build the first of its kind\, systemwide OSPO.  It will 
 also provide an initial blueprint for other educators looking to work coll
 aboratively to promote open source approaches in academia. Participants wi
 ll learn the benefits of creating a networked set of OSPOs as well as hear
  about methodologies the UC network plans to employ for creating and maint
 aining a system-wide open source community of practice.

SUMMARY:Toward an Economy of Open Abundance: Why FLO funding needs donor c

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Aaron Wolf\nThere are four categories of economic goo
 ds: private goods\, club goods\, commons\, and public goods. FLO (Free/Lib
 re/Open) software and other similarly-licensed digital works are public go
 ods — meaning they are open and abundant. So\, they don't fit our market
  economy which relies on the opposite — scarcity and exclusion. Forcing 
 software into the standard economic system leads to reliance on paywalls a
 nd ads. Can we do better?\n\nIn the first part of this talk\, Aaron will p
 rovide an updated understanding of the economic dilemmas with public goods
 . He will explain how standard language and models of economics make assum
 ptions that work against the goals of software freedom. From there\, we ca
 n see how to frame a new economic understanding of sharing and abundance.\
 n\nTo get the key concepts\, we need to distinguish between goods and serv
 ices\, exclusive vs open\, and scarce vs abundant. We can see these as tra
 its on continuums (between clearly open and clearly exclusive are examples
  of partly-open). With these core ideas in mind\, we can more easily see t
 he issues with FLO projects today (along with many related parts of the ec
 onomy).\n\nIn the second part of the talk\, Michael will argue that crowdf
 unding for FLO projects is not effective enough as is. That's why we see a
 ppeals to donate often couched in terms of merely buying someone a coffee 
 and similar. To become a game-changing economic force for good\, we need t
 o improve one critical feature: donor coordination.\n\nWe believe that man
 y more people would happily donate modest amounts to support FLO projects 
 whose works they use and value — if only they could be confident that it
  would make a real difference. Most of us cannot give enough individually 
 to change the game\, but if large numbers of individuals can coordinate an
 d donate together\, the collective funding power could have a massive impa
 ct and even ultimately change the nature of our economy.\n\nThe basic prin
 ciple of donor coordination is simple — what you donate can be tied to w
 hat others donate. But exactly how best to do it is not a simple question.
  There are many ways it can be approached\, each with different pros and c
 ons. Michael will present the key "how" variables\, discuss their signific
 ance\, and outline some of the pros and cons of each. And he'll describe t
 he work he and others are doing to develop usable platforms to test these 
 coordination ideas with real funding.\n\nThe panel following this talk at 
 3pm will provide an opportunity to explore these ideas further in interact
 ive discussion.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Harmony Elendu\n"My Neighbour in Open Source"\nIn a w
 orld that is increasingly connected yet paradoxically divided\, the concep
 t of "My Neighbour in Open Source" stands as a testament to the potential 
 of communal living. This speech and presentation delve deeply into how we 
 can foster inclusivity and diversity within the global open-source communi
 ty through both visible and subtle means. It emphasises that\, much like n
 eighbours in a physical community\, individuals in the open-source sphere 
 can come together to build diverse products and initiatives that transcend
  boundaries of color\, language\, personal challenges\, geographical origi
 ns\, and varying personalities.\n\nAt the heart of "My Neighbour in Open S
 ource" is the idea that the open-source community mirrors the dynamics of 
 a thriving neighborhood. In any given neighbourhood\, residents work colla
 boratively to enhance their living conditions\, ensuring that every member
  feels included and valued. This analogy is powerful in the context of ope
 n-source because it underscores the importance of collective effort and mu
 tual support in achieving common goals. Just as neighbors come together fo
 r community clean-ups\, block parties\, and local projects\, contributors 
 to open-source projects unite to solve problems\, innovate\, and push the 
 boundaries of what is possible with technology.\n\nOne of the key aspects 
 of fostering inclusivity and diversity in open-source is recognizing and v
 aluing the unique contributions of every individual. Diversity in this con
 text is not merely about representation across different demographics\, bu
 t also about the inclusion of diverse perspectives and ideas. Open-source 
 projects benefit immensely from the varied experiences and viewpoints that
  contributors bring. This diversity of thought leads to more robust and cr
 eative solutions\, as it encourages out-of-the-box thinking and problem-so
 lving approaches that might not emerge in a more homogeneous group.\n\nThe
  speech highlights practical ways to promote inclusivity within the open-s
 ource community. These include creating welcoming and accessible documenta
 tion\, establishing mentorship programs\, and actively reaching out to und
 errepresented groups. Accessible documentation ensures that new contributo
 rs\, regardless of their background\, can easily understand and get involv
 ed in projects. Mentorship programs provide guidance and support to newcom
 ers\, helping them navigate the complexities of open-source contribution a
 nd develop their skills. Outreach initiatives aim to break down barriers t
 o entry by providing resources and opportunities to those who might otherw
 ise be excluded.\n\nFurthermore\, "My Neighbour in Open Source" addresses 
 the importance of creating safe and respectful spaces where all contributo
 rs feel valued. This involves implementing and enforcing codes of conduct 
 that prohibit discriminatory behavior and harassment. By fostering a cultu
 re of respect and inclusion\, open-source communities can ensure that ever
 y participant feels safe to express their ideas and collaborate freely. Th
 is\, in turn\, enhances the overall quality and innovation within projects
 .\nThe presentation also explores the invisible ways in which inclusivity 
 can be promoted. These include fostering an inclusive mindset among existi
 ng contributors and leaders\, who must be aware of their own biases and wo
 rk actively to counteract them. It is crucial for leaders in the open-sour
 ce community to set an example by embracing and promoting diversity in all
  its forms. This can involve highlighting the contributions of diverse ind
 ividuals\, celebrating cultural differences\, and encouraging open dialogu
 e about inclusivity.\n\nIn practice\, achieving the vision of "My Neighbor
  in Open Source" means that everyone\, from project maintainers to casual 
 contributors\, plays a role in building an inclusive community. It require
 s a commitment to continuous learning and improvement\, as well as a willi
 ngness to listen and adapt to the needs of the community. This collective 
 effort mirrors the dynamics of a successful neighbourhood\, where the well
 being of each member contributes to the overall health and vibrancy of the
  community.\n\nUltimately\, "My Neighbour in Open Source" is a call to act
 ion. It invites every member of the open-source community to reflect on th
 eir role in fostering inclusivity and to take proactive steps towards crea
 ting a more welcoming and diverse environment. By working together as neig
 hbors\, we can ensure that the open-source community not only thrives but 
 also serves as a model for collaborative and inclusive innovation in the b
 roader tech industry and beyond

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Aaron Wolf\nKids today grow up in a world dominated b
 y computers. Yet education normally focuses only on computer use or progra
 mming. Where topics of power and ethics do come up\, they focus on concern
 s like privilege\, bigotry\, and social-media. How can young people learn 
 about the inherent issues with software freedom at the foundations of the 
 tech that surrounds them?\n\nThinking about this dilemma\, I asked others 
 for ideas. Mostly\, the responses mentioned pseudo-educational games or ot
 her fun-computer-things for kids that just happen to be Free/Libre/Open (F
 LO). Only a few were great\, and none emphasized teaching FLO concepts dir
 ectly.\n\nTo develop a FLO-first approach\, I set up a computer for my the
 n-6-year-old with focus on basic terminal. We started playing with things 
 like making espeak TTS say funny things or gibberish. Over time\, our expl
 orations evolved into his own first program: Cowmath — a Bash script in 
 which cowsay and espeak together quiz the user on random math questions.\n
 \nAll along\, I emphasized the larger context: we are using FLO software t
 hat we can freely use\, study\, and adapt\; and we can share our code for 
 others in the same way. We talked about licenses and economics and the dif
 ference between FLO and proprietary software. We now publish this in-progr
 ess FLO-first educational curriculum at codeberg.org/FLO-Conscience/FLO-ki
 ds and invite others to join us in improving and expanding the resources.\
 n\nNow\, Rowan is eager to get better at introducing other kids to FLO sof
 tware. And he appreciates meeting people at conferences who understand the
 se things already. In our talk\, we'll share our story and discuss the cha
 llenges and best methods for inspiring the next generation of software-fre

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Paige Cruz\nWhen joining a new organization or projec
 t we’re often told “There are no bad questions - ask away!” and I fu
 lly endorse stoking your curiosity and connecting with others for help. I 
 do believe that there are no bad questions but that there can be badly phr
 ased questions. If you’ve ever had your questions go unanswered in onlin
 e forums or are tired of hearing “it depends” time and time again this
  session is for you! \n\nBetween instant messaging platforms\, mailing lis
 ts\, social media accounts\, wikis\, repos\, and meetups there are a lot o
 f ways to connect and engage with an open source community/project and who
  you ask\, when you ask\, where and how can all affect the answers you get
 . \n\nWe will unpack what it takes to craft questions that get answered by
  reviewing several case studies of questions posed about OpenTelemetry acr
 oss various channels. Finishing with a simple guide you can put into pract
 ice to master the art of asking to get answers.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Watson\nOpen Source funding is inextricably related t
 o how it is governed.  Open source governance of mature projects can be sp
 lit into four components: the project itself\, the services company surrou
 nding the project\, the foundation associated with the project\, and its c
 ommunity of users.\n\nContrary to popular belief\, open source has “riva
 l” assets in the form of social capital (attention\, trust\, a sense of 
 belonging) and traditional assets (trademarks\, donations\, certification 
 proceeds\, conference proceeds).  Both of these asset types need ethical g
 overnance in order to avoid exploitation.  \n\nTraditionally\, donations f
 or open source projects were in the form of direct participation e.g. code
  or in fiat money.  More recently\, open source projects such as Bitcoin\,
  Ethereum\, and Solana “mint” and issue “tokens” that can be redee
 mable in fiat money.  This opens the door to new opportunities (non fungib
 le ownership of digital assets\, i.e. web 3.0) and new methods of exploita
 tion (rug pulls).  \n\nWe will present a case study on three open source i
 nitiatives with various sizes of projects\, non profit foundations\, open 
 source services companies\, communities\, and funding styles.  These initi
 atives are the CNF Test Suite\, the Fedora project\, and XRP.  We will con
 clude with an analysis of the funding styles\, stemming from the governanc
 e structure of the open source project.  \n\nThe attendee will walk away w
 ith a useful model for critiquing open source funding which can be used fo
 r traditional as well as web 3.0 open source projects.

 X\, short for Headless Authoring eXperience\, is an ecosystem of highly pe

 s for things like < video - player > or < multiple - choice > allow users 
 to add engaging experiences to the web in a sustainable format that is pla
 tform free.\n\nWe can't just create tags and walk away though\, we must bu
 ild better authoring experiences or these semantic tags will lay in the ha

 mponents that work anywhere that inject a powerful drag and drop authoring
  experience that is able to understand the definition of other web compone

 tatic .html files and a site.json "database" for relationship data. You ca

 Magic script" that detects undefined web components and automatically hydr

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Phil Estes\nContainer runtimes like Docker and contai
 nerd are the core software components that enable the adoption of containe
 r technology\, whether in cloud orchestrator systems like Kubernetes or in
  edge and embedded compute scenarios. Similarly\, the Open Container Initi
 ative (OCI) has standardized the concepts around containers\, like the ima
 ge and runtime specifications\, so that all runtime implementations are in
 teroperable. \n\nIn both these worlds\, the adoption of multi-platform sup
 port has made steady progress for the last 6-8 years. While progress has b
 een slow at times\, the ecosystem has now fully unlocked the advantages of
  ARM64 as one of the key platforms supported directly by runtimes and enco
 ded into the specifications of the OCI.\n\nIn this talk we'll walk through
  this history of the adoption of ARM64\, including a focus on the CNCF con
 tainerd project as a shining example of the adoption of multi-platform sup
 port\, and specifically the enablement of the containerd project to build\
 , test\, and release official support on ARM64. We'll look at example use 
 cases and where the industry is using this support today to enable product
 ion workloads on ARM64.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Bogdan Vasilescu\nMany developers relying on open-sou
 rce digital infrastructure expect continuous maintenance\, but even the mo
 st critical packages can become unmaintained. Despite this\, there is litt
 le understanding of the prevalence of abandonment of widely-used packages\
 , of subsequent exposure\, and of reactions to abandonment in practice\, o
 r the factors that influence them. We did two research studies to address 
 this gap.\n\nFirst\, we interviewed 33 developers who have experienced dep
 endency abandonment\, and learned that many felt they had little to no sup
 port or guidance when facing abandonment\, leaving them to figure out what
  to do through a trial-and-error process on their own. Often\, people used
  multiple strategies to cope with abandonment\, for example\, first reachi
 ng out to the community to find potential alternatives\, then switching to
  a community-accepted alternative if one exists.\n\nSecond\, we quantitati
 vely analyzed all widely-used npm packages and found that abandonment is c
 ommon among them\, that abandonment exposes many projects which often do n
 ot respond\, that responses correlate with other dependency management pra
 ctices\, and that removal is significantly faster when a projects end-of-l
 ife status is explicitly stated. \n\nThis talk reviews the results of thes
 e two studies\, and ends with recommendations to both researchers and prac
 titioners who are facing dependency abandonment or are sunsetting projects
 \, such as opportunities for low-effort transparency mechanisms to help ex
 posed projects make better\, more informed decisions.

 nIn this beginner-friendly talk\, I will describe recent research findings
  about successfully sustaining an open source project and the lifecycles o
 f these projects. We know that open source software is fundamental to glob
 al communication\, business\, education\, and more. This software is often
  produced and maintained through dynamic organizations in which we have a 
 great deal of flexibility to choose our own tasks. But what we choose to w
 ork on and what the global public most needs are not always in alignment. 
 What organizational structures\, governance practices\, and technology cho
 ices are associated with increased risk? And given these circumstances\, h
 ow might we work together to improve software quality and security? Let's 
 look at what we know about signs of trouble and strategies for success\, a
 nd then discuss how the research community can better serve the needs of o
 pen source.\n\nYou'll walk away with:\n* new ideas for taking action perso
 nally and inside organizations\n* specific data-driven insights into how p

 ainers to get up to speed quickly in your project\, but for many complex O
 SS projects\, the chances are slim that a new contributor can actually cre
 ate a development environment\, test an improvement\, and get it across th
 e line without a lot of assistance. Often the CONTRIBUTING.md\, README.md 
 suggest that the best contributions are "non-code" because of the daunting
  tangle environment setup\, local build and test scripts\, and a completel
 y different stack in CI. There may even be several competing local environ
 ments contributed over the months and years to further confuse matters.\n\
 nIn this talk\, Jeremy will showcase open source projects that have had th
 eir local and CI experience harmonized by using open source Dagger. He'll 
 show how it can make it easier to onboard new contributors and make the pr
 oject more fun and productive.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Craig Topham\nThe Free Software Foundation's (FSF) GN
 U family of General Public Licenses (GPL) is renowned for protecting user 
 freedom. It's concerning and confusing that some people alter licenses wit
 h restrictions that attempt to render software nonfree. The GPLs v3.0 Sect
 ion 7 allows the removal of unauthorized restrictions. The FSF may also en
 force its copyrights and trademarks to stop unauthorized alterations to FS
 F's licenses. This presentation covers the operation of Sec.7 and how FSF'
 s copyright and trademark rights can help to protect against confusing use
  of the GPL.\n\nThere are some great features in GPLv3/AGPLv3 Section 7\, 
 including the ability\nto create Additional Permissions — this allows li
 censors to use the v3\nlicenses to create fine-tuned weaker copylefts: eve
 n LGPLv3 itself is an\nAdditional Permission set applied to GPLv3.  The li
 censes also permit removal\nof “further restrictions” that take away u
 sers' rights.\n\nWe've faced however a complex confluence of events relate
 d to Section 7. The community of\ncopyleft experts are discussing and cons
 idering what to do.  Specifically\, we\nhave seen more than once vendors c
 onfusing their users: by adding further\nrestrictions to GPLv3/AGPLv3 in a
  way that confuses users about their right to\nremove those “further res
 trictions” and the right to exercise their full\nsoftware freedom.

 e of that community\, GitHub began supporting arm as a platform via self-h
 osted runners first\, leading to the recent release of arm hosted runners.
  Arm-based hosted runners mean that developers can build natively on Arm w
 ithin GitHub\, removing the need for a cumbersome emulation layer. Without
  the OSS community leading the charge\, the largescale movement to the arm
  platform would not be possible. The growing popularity of the aarch64 pla

 with Azure announcing arm chips in 2022.  This talk will cover how the new
  arm runners work\, how OSS can build on Arm within GitHub today and in th
