    After many years of absence, I am looking forward attending the Chemnitz Linux Days 2018 again. Of course there will be a FSFE booth. On Sunday, 11. March at 10am I will talk about software freedom in the cloud, a topic I wrote about already in the past https://www.schiessle.org/articles/2017/11/14/software-freedom-in-the-cloud/ #clt2018 #fsfe #software #freedom #cloud #FreeSoftware

    Just got word that I'll be speaking again at this year's #LibrePlanet! I was going to attend regardless, but I'm very excited to be able to continue to build off of last year's talk.

    The title of this year's talk is The Ethics Void. Here's a rough abstract:

    Medicine, legal, finance, journalism, scientific research—each of these fields and many others have widely adopted codes of ethics governing the lives of their professionals. Some of these codes may even be enshrined in law. And this is for good reason: these are fields that have enormous consequences.

    Software and technology pervade not only through these fields, but through virtually every aspect of our lives. Yet, when compared to other fields, our community leaders and educators have produced an ethics void. Last year, I introduced numerous topics concerning #privacy, #security, and #freedom that raise serious ethical concerns. Join me this year as we consider some of those examples and others in an attempt to derive a code of ethics that compares to each of these other fields, and to consider how leaders and educators should approach ethics within education and guidance.

    My previous talks can be found here:

    ---

    For this talk, I want to solicit the community at various points. I know what _I_ want to talk about, but what are some of the most important ethical issues to _you_? Unfortunately there's far too much to fit into a 40m talk! Also feel free to e-mail me at mtg@gnu.org.

    The internet is broken… but the web’s top minds have a plan to fix it

    I’m in Wired UK’s cover package this month, advocating (surprise, surprise) for a decentralised, free and open, and commons-based Internet of people.

    “Imagine a world where every citizen owns and controls their own place on the internet.”

    Bryan Lunduke / Linux community.

    "It was reported that Google specifically blocked an Android application, from the Google Play Store, that showed people voting locations in Catalonia (during their independence vote).

    Why would Google (or any other co.) want to make it hard for people to vote on any issue? Could this happen anywhere? Deeply troubling."

    The ability to communicate is your #freedom, and #centralization is someone else's control over it.

    People say ''my freedom ends where your freedom starts''.

    Have you ever thought of it being a missconcept of what #freedom means?

    It would mean as more people living on earth as less freedom for an individual.

    That's false. I'm free to use this service because many made it possible.

    Freedom can only mean to increase our potentials. There is no such thing as indipendence. We're all interdepending.
    And to some extend we're all connected.

    How else can we be free?

    A film everybody should have seen: Revolution OS

    "Linux wasn’t so much about being an operating system as it was about putting power in people’s hands. This isn’t so true anymore. Most of the few websites that remain are commercial endeavors that often confuse “software freedom” with the mere availability of source code and a free price tag. [..] The ideas behind the free software movement are now in danger of being reduced to merely a business model for managing software in the corporate world. [..] Without community, the free tech movement will disappear — of that, you can be certain."
