* Talk 1 title:
** Short description: [http://peerlibrary.org/ PeerLibrary] is a web platform for real-time discussion of academic publications. By bringing scholars together we help bridging gaps between scholars and their understanding of academic publications. Open access movement is trying to make publications readable by anyone, but this is not really enough. Publications have to be also accessible (and reusable). By capturing the knowledge created while reading publications and making it free for everyone, publications become seeds of knowledge to read and build upon.

* Title:
** Speaker name: [mailto:libreplanet2014@njw.name Nick White]
+
** Speaker name:
** Short description: I'm going to start by briefly talking about the [http://njw.name/getxbook getxbook] tool I wrote to downoad books from Google Books and Amazon. However I've come to realise that this will never be good enough as the basis for a library which respects freedom and privacy, and allows you to ask whatever questions of the underlying data you want. I will present a possible good alternative model, which we should be able to get to even without the resources of an organisation like Google.

* Title: The NSA's Use of Free Software
 
* Without slides, this talk is going to coma-inducing.
 
** Speaker name [http://saultannenbaum.org Saul Tannenbaum]
 
** Short description: Mission aside, the NSA is a technology organization that selects and uses software that meets organizational needs. This talk will survey what we know about the NSA's use of free software from public information and Edward Snowden's leaks. We'll look at one curious example of the NSA's contribution to the free software community, Accumulo, the NSA's Hadoop derivative. I ask the question: How should an ethical community react when its tools are used in ways we might find contrary to our core values?

Lightning talks at LibrePlanet.

<< Return to the LibrePlanet 2015 homepage

10:55 - 12:35 on Saturday, 3/21 | Room 32-144 | Facilitator: Donald Robertson

Lightning talks are five-minute presentations given by conference attendees on free software topics they're passionate about.

If you would like to give a talk, please add a title, short description and (optionally) your name to the time slot you'd like below. You'll also be able to sign up at the conference, if there are spots remaining.

Please make sure your lightning talks are about free software-related issues and projects, and don't advocate proprietary software or Services as a Software Substitute (SaaSS). There are many conferences focused on "open source," but we're proud that people come to LibrePlanet to be part of the free software movement. In your presentations, please use the term "free software" rather than "open source" to help us keep LibrePlanet focused on computer user freedom as an ethical social movement. We appreciate it, and your audience will too.

To ensure a conference that's safe and fun for everyone, we take our anti-harassment policy very seriously. We'd appreciate it if you looked it over before planning your presentation.

You're welcome to bring a slide deck, as long as it works without requiring proprietary software. We recommend PDF or the .odp format readable by LibreOffice Impress. If you are using slides, please bring them to the lightning talk facilitator before you plan to talk, to save time during the presentations. The lightning talks won't be streamed. If you'd like to suggest a topic, but not necessarily give a talk, you're welcome to make a suggestion on the Discussion area for this page.

Our tips for an awesome lightning talk:

  • Be as selective as possible with what you cover. (In our experience, a 5-minute talk cannot cover what a 15-minute talk covers and still be effective.)
  • Use a large, reader-friendly font for all your slides.
  • Keep your number of slides low and take care not to visually overload them.

Sign up!

To sign up, please sign in to this wiki or make an account with the links in the upper right of this Web page, then click Edit and add you talk title and your name (optional) to an unclaimed time slot.
