It was plastered all over the news: the GNOME project was dead. There were

forks. So why, in a tough economy, did GNOME got more donations from

individuals in 2012 than in any previous year? Why were its outreach
 
efforts to bring in newcomers more successful? In sum, big ideas on how to
 
make the world a better place through software.

repair and diagnostic information and tools to independent repair
 
shops, consumers and franchised dealerships."  What are the
 
implications of the Right to Repair movement for consumer choices
 
about automotive software and more broadly, for the right of owners to
 
control the software that runs on their personal electronic devices?
 
2012 brought news about trends like autonomous vehicle operation,
 
usage-based insurance, and broad availability of mass-market vehicles
 
that run Gnu Public Licensed software.  As regulators and lawmakers
 
struggle to catch up, campaigns like Right to Repair offer an
 
opportunity for the free software movement to make common cause with
 
philosophical allies in the automotive small-business and "shade-tree
 
mechanic" communities.  The outcome of upcoming decisions will affect
 
stakeholders ranging from car manufacturers to transportation planners
 
to emergency responders.

What does it mean to be free software if you are not distributing any software? What is the nature of communities for cloud projects like OpenStack? In a cloudy world, can people still hope to control their computing environments? When all our applications are web applications, accessed on a mobile platform like a phone or a tablet, does the concept of Free software make any sense? Will mobile and the cloud kill free software?

the IPython Notebook provides an environment for "literate computing" with a
 
tight integration of narrative and computation.  These Notebooks are stored an
 
open document format that provides an "executable paper": notebooks can be
 
version controlled, exported to HTML or PDF for publication, and used for
 
teaching.

This talk uses Libre Graphics magazine --an art, design and culture publication produced with Free/Libre software and methods-- as a case study for the discussion of organization, centralization and credibility in Free Culture projects. Covering problems of control, institutional relations and dealing with haters, the presentation will offer an insight into walking the line between collective and company.

We have a lot of GNU in Debian (hence our GNU/Linux, GNU/kFreeBSD, and GNU/Hurd names and choices), but how are the two projects otherwise related? In this session we will discuss Debian objectives and peculiarities, and how they related to GNU. We will also cover recent collaboration efforts between the two projects and how we can improve upon them to the betterment of Free Software.

records, originally designed in 2004 for use in the developing world

but now used in a variety health care and research environments. The
 
collaborative needs of physicians in Kenya, Haiti, South Africa, and
 
the US all pointed toward a default model of openness if only to “get
 
work done” in the face of the urgent need of better healthcare in
 
these countries. The modular architecture that evolved has led to an
 
active ecosystem of developers and system implementers who are
 
creating specific tools for different health care needs. As a result,
 
the OpenMRS platform is assisting clinicians and researchers in a wide
 
variety of contexts. In this talk, you’ll hear how people are using
 
OpenMRS to manage health information in everything from small clinics
 
to national health care systems.

5:00 - Closing Plenary: Leslie Hawthorn: Negotiation Theory for Geeks Lecture Hall A
 
  
The best free software hackers are great at the "soft skills" related to hacking - resolving conflict, gathering support around a direction for the project, and understanding what the user *really* wants when filing a bug report. Every feature request and implementation discussion, bug report and mailing list thread is a negotiation.

 +
* D = Discover Free Software
 +
* E = Expand & Defend Free Software
 +
* S = Strengthen Free Software
 +
* A = Advance Free Software
  
There is a well established, common sense, very effective way to think of negotiations which will help you improve as a developer, and make your project better at the same time, from the Harvard Negotiation Project. In this talk, Leslie Hawthorn will provide an overview of negotiation theory and pointers to further resources. She will also explore the importance of *both* empathy and transparency in our communications as we look to make our free software project communities most successful.

== Suggestions for lightning talk topics ==
 
Lightning talks are short presentations given by conference attendees on free software topics they're passionate about. If you would like to give a talk, please add a bullet here, along with your name (optional). You're also welcome to suggest topics for others to talk about.
 
 
 
* FRDCSA: free software a.i./social software: multi-agent logics, computational semantics, and sequences of increasingly complete theorem provers in the service of social causes -- [[User:aindilis|Andrew Dougherty]]

* Embedded licensing metadata in digital works -- [[User:jonasob|Jonas Öberg]]
 
* Coreboot: What you need to know about it. This talk has to take place before the coreboot install party. Its purpose is to give enough background to the people wanting coreboot to be installed on their computer(why coreboot, how to reflash,how to edit the variables etc...). -- [[User:GNUtoo2|Denis Carikli]]
 
'''Theme, Making Free Software Full Time''': If your full time occupation is contributing to the software freedom movement full time, please give a lightening talk about how the revenue that pays your wages is generated.
