| Technology in education and for-profit interests | Day 2, 12:50
|
5 | In 2015 the global education market was estimated $4.9 (USD) trillion. It is not surprising that technology giants, private enterprises and publishing houses lobby aggressively to shape education policy so that they can conveniently sell their products and services. In this talk I will share some examples from my work with Education International, the global education union federation on how this takes shape at the global and national level (e.g., copyrights, scripted lessons, standardisation etc.). As a way forward I would also like to invite the conference participants to join me in a workshop to discuss some of these aspects bringing together people working or interested in education & technology.

| Opening patents for makers - a green light to make | Day 2, 13:00
|
5 | The objective of the legal project "Greenlight" is to introduce more clarity and
security in the patent system for free-innovators (makers, DIYers). (1) It is about creating a space in the system where they can freely work, tinker on patented devices, and share their ideas with no fear of patent infringement. (2) In addition to that, we would like to establish a database ("greenbase") which would centralize makers' ideas (on hardware, but not only) and serve as a) a source for patent search for patent offices, and b) enlist activities protected by the legal exception (the greenlight). |

| How to decode AFSK data | Day 2, 13:05
|
5 | In the days of early homecomputers like the Commodore 64 it was possible to use audio cassette tapes as storage medium. To encode digital data into an audio signal that can be stored on tape a modulation technique called Audio Frequency Shift Keying (AFSK) was used. This talks explains how AFSK works and demonstrates how to decode the audio signal back into bits and bytes.

| The SIPSA protocol — real anonymity | Day 2, 13:10
|
5 | I have devised a technology that allows to hide both source and destination addresses in IP packets on the network level and I'd like to share it with you. This lightning talk gives a brief intro to the technology.
Source IP spoofing for anonymization over UDP (SIPSA) is a proposal for a protocol that in many network environments would allow two hosts on the network to hide both their source and destination addresses, while still being able to communicate information. A proof of concept tool that allows testing SIPSA is freely and publicly available on github.

| OpenCare: The Future of welfare in the hands of hackers | Day 2, 13:20
|
5 | The migration issue dominates the European political debate. The influx of migrants, some people say, will break the European welfare system. Any new person coming in is reducing the amount of care that others can get. Care is a zero-sum game. Is that really the case?
It turns out that, when faced with care challenges, communities rise to meet them. By doing so, they step outside of our current paradigm, one of provision of care services by a combination of the state and private business. This changes the game completely to one of decentralization and reciprocity. In this talk, we explore some of the amazing care services that communities are providing - right now - to people that the state and private business have let down. We then ask how we, as the tech community, could support these initiatives to become more resilient and to scale where possible. |

| Evolving Internet Transport | Day 2, 13:25
|
5 | The Internet works, we can move files across the network. Protocol development and deployment is hamstrung by ancient API's and middleboxes configure to let the minimum amount of traffic through. Developers need a new approach to accessing the network, libraries and tools adapt to network conditions.
We will present the current set of problems hampering development on the Internet and the Open Source NEAT System that aims to address them.

| A stochastic particle-based chemical system simulator for the web | Day 2, 13:40
|
5 | This summer I wrote a simulation engine for simulating large amounts of particles that are randomly moving around and reacting with each other, and with membranes for particle separation. This allows the simulation of simple chemical and biological systems. I wrote the engine in Dart which means it runs in a web-browser. I want to tell something about the algorithms I use in the engine and show some nice simulations!

| COALA IP - A blockchain-ready intellectual property licensing protocol | Day 2, 14:15
|
5 | Content creators on the internet are getting a raw deal. They get a fraction of the revenue earned by hosting and distribution platforms, even though their work is what keeps these sites filled with traffic-driving content.
The COALA IP group is collaborating to design and implement a free and open specification for representing and licensing intellectual property on blockchains. COALA IP's goal is to establish easy-to-use ways to record attribution information and other metadata about works, assign or license rights, mediate disputes, and authenticate claims by others. We believe there should be a global standard at the data level, without the need for centralized control.

| Free Digital Territories | Day 3, 13:25
|
5 | We speak about our plans when we visit in May 2017 two indigenous communities in Brasil. Based on their project Baobáxia we want to work out if and how Freifunk mesh technologies could support them for more interconnectivity.
We plan to go to the indigenous area "Barra Velha" in Brasil to support the interconnectivity of Baobaxia communities which they are part of. Baobáxia is a community-built project to connect about 200 Brazilian quilombos to assist the interchange and preservation of traditional, community-built culture. A special challenge is found in the fact that many of these communities are located in remote areas with no access to the Internet. The project is supported as an art project by ifa (Insitut für Auslandsbeziehungen)

| Discreete Linux: Protection against trojan-based surveillance | Day 3, 13:30
|
5 | Discreete Linux is an operating system with the special purpose of protecting whistleblowers, human rights defenders, journalists, trade union and political activists and other targets against governmental surveillance attacks with trojan software.
Since Edward Snowden has revealed the extent of the global surveillance of the world's population by governments and intelligence agencies, this threat has continued to grow. Today also numerous commercial providers of surveillance tools are also selling Trojan software to dictatorships and states that proclaim torture. This talk aims to explain the basic ideas of Discreete Linux and show some perhaps not so well-known trojanization methods used by the NSA. |
