| − | control over their own devices when they passed the Right to Repair
| + | <em>Lecture Hall D</em></p> |
| − | ballot measure. "Right to Repair requires automakers to sell the same

| |
| − | about automotive software and more broadly, for the right of owners to

| |
| − | 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

| |
| − | opportunity for the free software movement to make common cause with
| |
| − | philosophical allies in the automotive small-business and "shade-tree

| − | OpenMRS is a free software platform to manage electronic medical
| |
| − | 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
| |

| − | Embracing Secure Boot and Rejecting Restricted Boot: Matthew Garrett (E) Lecture Hall D
| |
| − | | |
| − | Microsoft have successfully imposed Secure Boot on broad sections of the
| |
| − | PC market, and Restricted Boot continues to be prevelant on mobile
| |
| − | devices. How can we ensure that users remain in control of their
| |
| − | hardware in order to ensure they remain in control of their software?
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Passwords suck, but centralized proprietary services are not the answer: Francois Marier''' (F) Lecture Hall A
| |
| − | | |
| − | Passwords are a big problem online and a lot of websites have turned to
| |
| − | centralized services to handle logins for them. It's a disturbing trend from
| |
| − | a privacy/surveillance point of view, but from a software freedom point of
| |
| − | view, it's also turning these proprietary services into core
| |
| − | dependencies.
| |
| − | | |
| − | That's why Mozilla is building Persona, a new federated and cross-browser
| |
| − | system which makes identity a standard part of the browser. It's simple,
| |
| − | privacy-sensitive and entirely free software.

| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
