Open Source Software and Security panel - Government of Canada To follow up on the popular and engaging Armchair Discussion on open source software in October 2017, the School is pleased to offer another session on this timely and important topic. The previous session generated many questions about the security of open source software, the myths surrounding their use and the release of open source code. With the Government of Canada moving towards open standards for data and communications, these are significant issues in the information technology landscape. Join us to hear from public service experts who will address your questions, share their experience and offer their recommendations on how to debunk the cybersecurity myths related to open source software. Event Information This learning activity is designed for all public servant groups and levels and is offered at no cost. Location : Ottawa Date and Time : May 1, 2018 | 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm (EDT) Speakers : John O'Brien, Senior Information Security Advisor, Canadian Digital Service Po Tea-Duncan, Director for Strategy and Architecture, Cyber Security, Chief Information Officer Branch, Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat Moderator: Stéphane Cousineau, Deputy Director, Corporate Management Services Sector, and Chief Financial Officer, Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada Information: http://www.csps-efpc.gc.ca/ [email protected] Originally published at https://listes.koumbit.net/pipermail/forum-facil.qc.ca/2018-May/005857.html This media is made available here in free format (Webm/Ogg Theora) for the purposes of private study, research and education, when the original format and its presentation made it difficult or impossible to consult it offline with free open source software.

Predicting the next page to be accessed by the Web users has attracted a large amount of research. In this paper, a new web usage mining approach is proposed to predict next page access. It is proposed to identify similar access patterns from web log using K-mean clustering and then Markov model is used for prediction for next page accesses. The tightness of clusters is improved by setting similarity threshold while forming clusters. In traditional recommendation models, clustering by non-sequential data decreases recommendation accuracy. In this paper involve incorporating clustering with low order markov model which can improve the prediction accuracy. The main area of research in this paper is preprocessing and identification of useful patterns from web data using mining techniques with the help of open source software packages.

This is one of many short video segments which will be added to the Digital Tipping Point (DTP) archive. Thanks to Thomas King, a writer for Linux.com and LXer, for doing the rough editing for this series of interview segments! This series of interview segments features anthropologist Gabriella Coleman. You might think that anthropologist are only useful for studying bones of old, forgotten cultures, but you would be wrong. As this series of 10 interview segments shows, we can learn a lot about modern cultures and subcultures from anthropologists. Gabriella is not a computer scientist, but she does a great job of gaining enough computer science knowledge to understand what members of the Free Open Source Software movement are saying to each other. Her interviews are fascinating, because she spends much of her time thinking and talking about how people in the Free Open Source Software movement have created norms and established trust. These are really important issues, for several reasons. First, Free Open Source Software establishes the basic infrastructure for hundreds of billions of dollars in commerce every year. The Internet basically runs on Free Open Source Software, as does Google, Facebook, and most other such businesses. The US National Security Agency relies on GNU-Linux to run its computers, as does the US military. Huge civil bodies such as the City of Munich and the Region of Extremadura, Spain, rely on it. Second, Free Open Source Software is very international, as Gabriella points out, so what we learn from Free Open Source Software about collaboration can help humanity manage our complex international relations more smoothly in other areas as well. In segment 07 (Tape 106~007), Gabriella continues on talking about how the Mozilla Firefox browser is an example the power of a Free Open Source Software project can survive the death of a commercial business that was supporting it. Many of her colleagues at the University of Chicago use Firefox, and so she uses Firefox as an example when explaining to her colleagues what Free Open Source Software is. She found Free Open Source Software "choppy" at first, but now she is astounded at how fast it is growing user-friendly software. She is excited to see what it will be like in 5 years. The growth of user-friendliness is due to the proliferation of the the Internet and PCs. As the Internet as penetrated further into our lives, Free Open Source Software has followed along, and is becoming more important t average users, so more software is written for them. Another reason that many developers are motivated to continue programing with Free Open Source Software is that they started when they were young, sometimes as young as three years old, so the values of Free Open Source Software are deeply engrained in them. In segment 08 (Tape 106~008), Gabriella addresses the issue of the gender gap in Free Open Source Software, in which more men than women are active in developing the software. She believes this phenomenon is attributable to the fact the girls start writing code later in life, perhaps not until they are women, as opposed to boys, who start writing code when they are younger. But she cites Pia Waugh, the President of Linux Australia (with whom the DTP crew had hung out but had not had an opportunity to interview, sadly!) as an example of the growing role of women in Free Open Source Software. Members of the community are also starting to discuss the root causes of this gender gap, which she finds promising. She says that Free Open Source Software is still a subculture, but as it grows, more women will join Free Open Source Software coding efforts. As an example of the subcultural world of Free Open Source Software, she discusses key signing events. She says that these events would seem odd to outsiders, but they are important events to the community, because these events allow people to vouch for the identities of one another, which allows them to manage really really large projects, such as the Debian project. She says that person-to-person events like the FISL conference where this footage was shot is an example of such personal interactions, where tacit knowledge and unspoken understandings are instituted and cultivated.

Second, Free Open Source Software is very international, as Gabriella points out, so what we learn from Free Open Source Software about collaboration can help humanity manage our complex international relations more smoothly in other areas as well. In segment 01 (Tape 105~005), Gabriella explains how she became interested in Free Open Source Software while studying at the University of Chicago. She didn't initially set out to study the Free Open Source Software community. Her interest in the topic started as a hobby. She says she becamse "caught up in the wave" that Free Open Source Software represents, and then decided to base her dissertation on the ethical and political dimensions of the Free Open Source Software movement. In segment 02 (Tape 105~006), Gabriella says she has studied the Free Open Source Software movement by hanging out on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channels; by going to Linux User Group (LUG) meetings; and by going to conferences such as the FISL 5 conference where this footage was shot. She is fascinated by the fact that the developers who write Free Open Source Software are remarkably savvy about the laws that govern their work, and says that the Free Open Source Software movement can be looked at as a huge association of legal experts on intellectual property, at least as it pertains to their work. Many other professions are not able to determine the standards of their communities with as great precision and broad scope as the Free Open Source Software movement. Unfortunately, these first two segments of Gabriella Coleman's interview were shot under noisy conditions at a crowded conference without great lighting, so we covered some of the topics in these first two interviews a second time in segments 03 and 04. (The conference was the FISL Conference 5 in Porto Alegre, Brazil). This footage is our raw rough-cut footage. It lacks transitions, music, special effectsor finish rendering.

This is part of a series of reports to the President and Congress developed by the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC) on key contemporary issues in information technology. This report defines open source software, explains PITAC's interest in this model, describes the process used to investigate issues in open source software for high end computing, and concludes with findings and recommendations to the President and Congress. The open source development model represents a viable strategy for producing high quality software through a mixture of public, private, and academic partnerships. This approach permits new software to be openly shared, possibly under certain conditions determined by a licensing agreement, and allows users to modify, study, or augment the software's functionality, and then redistribute the modified software under similar licensing restrictions. The report makes three recommendations. First, the Federal government should aggressively encourage the development of open source software for high end computing. Adopting this recommendation will require a technical assessment of the software needs for high end computing as well as an innovative management plan and funding model for supporting this development. Second, a "level playing field" must be created within the government procurement process to facilitate open source development. Third, an analysis of open source licensing agreements is needed, with an ultimate goal of agreeing upon a single common licensing agreement for open software applications. Two appendixes provide a brief description of the multi-agency technical working group on open source software and a list of open source workshop participants. (AEF)

Integrating information and communication technology into schools has been challenging. A central component of the challenge is coping with the expense and usage restrictions of software that is installed on school computers. An alternative approach to the educational software problem is, however, emerging. This approach involves making greater use of open source software. In many cases open source software can effectively replace the proprietary or commercial software that dominates the educational computing landscape. Using this software option would result in decreased costs, increased flexibility, and increased opportunities to address social and ethical issues related to information and communication technology. In order to responsibly spend taxpayers' money and to maximize the potential of information and communication technology in education, it is important that educators learn about open source software and challenge conceptions that give priority to proprietary software.

Gernot Heiser https://linux.conf.au/schedule/30057/view_talk The DARPA HACMS Program aims at developing open-source systems and tools for protecting autonomous vehicles from cyber attacks. Specifically, a team comprising NICTA (Australia) and Rockwell Collins and Galois (US) is developing SMACCMcopter, a complete open-source software stack for flying a quadcopter. We are developing new code-synthesis and verification tools, also open-source, which allow us to architect the system for maximum resilience, and produce a large amount of high-assurance software at affordable cost. The software stack is based on NICTA's formally-verified seL4 microkernel and the NICTA and Breakaway eChronos RTOS, also being verified. Flight-control software is generated from high-level specs by Galois' Ivory/Tower tools. The technology developed for SMACCMcopter is being transferred to an optionally-piloted helicopter developed by Boeing, as well as an open reference platform for military ground vehicles.

This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command Line Podcast. I will save listener feedback for the next show. There is no hacker word of the week this week due to the length of the feature. The feature this week is the second of two panel recordings I captured at Balticon 44 . The panel was titled, "Free Yourself: Open Source Software for Everyday Use". My co-panelists were Brad Smith and none other than Eric Raymond. I found ESR to be especially fascinating on this panel, with some thought provoking ideas and fun stories.

This is one of many short video segments which will be added to the Digital Tipping Point (DTP) archive. This series of interview segments features Bob Kerr, a highly paid computer systems administrator for Universal Studios in California, who quit his job to return to his native Scotland to give out Free Open Source Software CDs in schools and nearly all of the Scottish libraries. In the first two tapes in Bob's interviews (tapes 042 and 043), Bob explains that he undertook this work because he was concerned about preserving his native Gaelic language and culture. Proprietary vendors, such as Microsoft, could not be counted on to provide applications that would display Gaelic characters; and documents created in those proprietary formats could be lost forever if a vendor such as Microsoft decided that it did not make business sense to support a small language like Gaelic. By contrast, Free Open Source Software could be used by the Scottish government and civil societies to assure that Gaelic language documents could be accessed in perpetuity, due to the fact that no one vendor could control Free Open Source Software programs. Bob says that language is the bearer of culture. Language tells stories, and stories are the memories of who a people are, and what values are dear to them. Using Free Open Source Software could thus help preserve a minority language and culture like Gaelic that was being eroded by its contact with a more dominant language, like English. By giving Free Open Source Software CDs to libraries, Bob was able to effectively create a CD distribution system that covered 80% of Scotland's 5 million people. He then had plans to expand his giveaway program to all of the UK's libraries, effectively making Free Open Source Software available to 56 million people for a very small investment. Segment 001 of Tape 043 has a very funny story in which Bob tells in his own wry Scottish way how a treasurer of a local Pidgeon racing club realized that he, the treasurer, could use OpenOffice.org to place images of pidgeons on the newsletters that he was creating for his pidgeon racing club. Bob's imitation of that treasurer's classically Scottish reserved excitment is priceless and a must-see segment. A few other interesting stories: Bob tells how his library distribution effort would permit people on the outlying British Isles to receive software that they would not be able to download over the Internet, as there was no Internet service to those Isles. Bob talks about his satisfaction in seeing that he was enabling social groups, such as the Pidgeon racing society, to strengthen their social ties by improving their newsletters; and he talks about his plans to get CDs into the hands of 750 high school students. Bob points out that Microsoft at that time did not have a large presence as an employer in Scotland, yet it sold millions of dollars worth of software to the Scotts, which to Bob represented an negative balance of trade that was not in Scotland's best interest.

This is one of many short video segments which will be added to the Digital Tipping Point (DTP) archive. Thanks to Thomas King, a writer for Linux.com and LXer, for doing the rough editing for this series of interview segments! In this series of 15 interview segments, software engineer Natasha Humphries tells the remarkable story of losing her job as a software engineer to colleagues in Bangalore, India. Natasha, a Stanford grad who has worked for 10 years as a software engineer, was interviewed by the US national news media and called to testify before Congress about her experiences. Her Digital Tipping Point interview focuses on how things might have been different for her if she had been working on a Free Open Source Software project. She says that if she had been able to control the code on which she was working, her employer, Palm One, would not have been able to dismiss her as easily it did, since she would have been able to fork the code and thus give her greater bargaining power in her relationship with her employer. A less enlightened individual might have lashed out at the person who replaced her, but Natasha looks past that knee-jerk reaction. Natasha shows us the connectedness between herself and the colleagues with whom she worked in India. She provides a very moving personal account of a trip to India in which she encounters deep poverty, and she sees that the Indian colleague who replaced her could not do much to increase their wages or improve their working conditions. As long as those software engineers, both in the US and India, could not control the code they created, they could not control their own financial destinies. This footage is shot dark in segments 01 through 1:01 of segment 04 (Tape 157~001-004). Those segments will need to be re-rendered lighter for final use. The audio is really good. After 1:01 of segment 04, the footage is lighter. This footage is our raw rough-cut footage. It lacks transitions, music, special effectsor finish rendering. It is our "source code". Please feel free to rip, mix and burn this footage consistent with our Creative Commons license as disclosed on this page. In segment 05 (Tape 157~005), Natasha says that this experience of being locked out of this proprietary software project for Palm One was not as devastating for her as it might have been for other people, because she has a relatively diversified background. She says that Free Open Source Software (FOSS) is also good for women and minorities because it lowers the barriers to entry into various different jobs, because it is a meritocracy. If you have the skills, you can get the job. Free Open Source Software is transparent, so it lets you get the skills you need to compete for jobs. Managers tend to hire people who are like them, both in terms of personality and race. Free Open Source Software can open doors for people who have skills but might not have earned a Microsoft certification, for example. And FOSS also balances the employee's relationship with the employer, giving a bit more power to the employee than he or she had before, because FOSS allows the employee to have greater control over the code. In segment 06 (Tape 157~006), Natasha says that the employee's power to fork the code gives them the ability to leave a company and take the code with them and develop it elsewhere. She thinks that she would have had more leverage with Palm One if she had been working on Free Open Source Software (FOSS). Palm One owned the code, so she could not take her work with her when she left. The FOSS community decides what code to advance, not just the companies. She was expendable because the code was closed. After she transfered her knowledge to the colleagues she was training, she was no longer needed. If she had been working on a FOSS project, she would have had more leverage with Palm One. This is particulary true when you have software engineers in the US earning $75,000.00 US to $125.000.00 US per year competing with people in India earning $2.00 US to $4.00 US per hour. In segment 07 (Tape 157~007), Natasha says that her counterpart in India was paid $4.00 US per hour. New graduates from technical institutes earn $2.00 per hour. She says that differential is not sustainable for workers in the US. She says that it is incorrect, though, for US workers to blame the people in India. She thinks that they are just on the other side of the power imbalance. The real blame needs to be placed on the corporation that is causing this power imbalance, says Natasha. She thinks that Free Open Source Software could help raise the conditions for the people of India, which could bring them into greater parity with the US. By creating new idustries, using Free Open Source Software, Indian innovators will be able to normalize earnings ratios with the US, restoring balance. Toward the end of this segment, she switches topic and starts talking about the effect of globalization on Indians such as her colleagues. Her thought is continued in the next segment.

This is one of many short video segments which will be added to the Digital Tipping Point (DTP) archive. We at the DTP are not Microsoft-haters. And yet it is important to remember that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Right now, in 2008, Microsoft still has too much power over the desktop software market. And this interview with Sterling Ball reminds us about what can happen when one company has too much power. Sterling Ball is the owner of the Ernie Ball company, a family-owned business that makes and sells high quality guitar strings, pics, and other musically-related stuff. Sterling's company made an innocent mistake in moving hard drives from one computer to another, and they were raided by the local sheriff's department when the Business Software Alliance (BSA) claimed that Ernie Ball was committing software piracy. Sterling became so honked off at Microsoft that he decided to switch to Linux. In these interviews, Sterling talks not so much about the raid, which he doesn't like to discuss and only mentions in passing. Instead, Sterling talks about the benefits to his company in using Free Open Source Software. He was a Microsoft fan, but after the raid, he says, he focused on IT in a way that he never previously did, and found that he had options. In the last of the videos, he laughs at the fact that he was invited to speak at Linux World in San Francisco in front of a banner saying, "Living in a Microsoft-free world." Ultimately, he wants people to understand that his decision was motivated mostly by business factors, not spite against Microsoft.

Panel: Charles Max Wood Aimee Knight Corey House Joe Eames Special Guests:  In this episode, JavaScript Jabber speaks with Dirk Hohndel about Open Source Software. Dirk is the Chief Open Source Officer at VMWare and has been working with open source for over 20 years. Dirk duties as the Chief Open Source Officer is to engage with the open source community and help promote the development between the community, companies, and customers. Dirk provides historical facts about open sources to current processes. The discussion covers vision and technological advances with languages, security, and worries of using open source software, view/consumption and burnout on maintaining a project. This is a great episode to learn about more different avenues of Open Source. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: ? What does the Chief Open Source Officer do? ? What is really different and has stayed the same in open source? ? Technological advances ? Good engineering and looking ahead or forward ? 100 million lines of code running a car… ?

Last summer, driven by a compelling desire to address the public health issue of accidental addiction, I embarked on a personal project: DrugScan, a website designed to identify addictive drugs. As a middle school student with no prior experience in software development, I used open-source frameworks and free tools, such as an AI assistant, to help me build DrugScan. Within a year, I launched it. In this presentation, I will share my experiences and learning journey, highlighting how open-source technologies and AI assistants can serve as crucial resources for teenagers eager to make a difference. My goal is to inspire and empower other young individuals to make a social impact, regardless of technical barriers.

Matthew Hiltner https://linux.conf.au/schedule/30139/view_talk Intel uses feedback from manufacturing test to continuously improve product yields and drive cost savings. Open source software plays an important role in this process, as its flexibility and transparency allow rapid innovation in manufacturing test development. This presentation explores the use of open source software as part of system-level test for silicon components. By using open and well-understood customer-like workloads, Intel is able to effectively identify manufacturing defects. More importantly, key workloads that expose abnormal failure rates are integrated into more directed test environments, such as a test of a chip before it is even packaged. The presentation will then focus on the cost impact of late defect detection, and how open source software specifically enables earlier detection. Techniques such as execution recording and CPU state insertion by PSMI, RTOS-like execution of directed workloads within NMISR will be described. The presentation ends by describing previous (and ongoing) challenges working in a closed-source environment, and how key learnings have dramatically increased awareness and appreciation of open source software within a decidedly hardware-centric field.

Long duration space travel to Mars or to an asteroid will expose astronauts to extended periods of reduced gravity. Since gravity is not present to aid loading, astronauts will use resistive and aerobic exercise regimes for the duration of the space flight to minimize the loss of bone density, muscle mass and aerobic capacity that occurs during exposure to a reduced gravity environment. Unlike the International Space Station (ISS), the area available for an exercise device in the next generation of spacecraft is limited. Therefore, compact resistance exercise device prototypes are being developed. The NASA Digital Astronaut Project (DAP) is supporting the Advanced Exercise Concepts (AEC) Project, Exercise Physiology and Countermeasures (ExPC) project and the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) funded researchers by developing computational models of exercising with these new advanced exercise device concepts. To perform validation of these models and to support the Advanced Exercise Concepts Project, several candidate devices have been flown onboard NASAs Reduced Gravity Aircraft. In terrestrial laboratories, researchers typically have available to them motion capture systems for the measurement of subject kinematics. Onboard the parabolic flight aircraft it is not practical to utilize the traditional motion capture systems due to the large working volume they require and their relatively high replacement cost if damaged. To support measuring kinematics on board parabolic aircraft, a motion capture system is being developed utilizing open source computer vision code with commercial off the shelf (COTS) video camera hardware. While the systems accuracy is lower than lab setups, it provides a means to produce quantitative comparison motion capture kinematic data. Additionally, data such as required exercise volume for small spaces such as the Orion capsule can be determined. METHODS: OpenCV is an open source computer vision library that provides the ability to perform multi-camera 3 dimensional reconstruction. Utilizing OpenCV, via the Python programming language, a set of tools has been developed to perform motion capture in confined spaces using commercial cameras. Four Sony Video Cameras were intrinsically calibrated prior to flight. Intrinsic calibration provides a set of camera specific parameters to remove geometric distortion of the lens and sensor (specific to each individual camera). A set of high contrast markers were placed on the exercising subject (safety also necessitated that they be soft in case they become detached during parabolic flight); small yarn balls were used. Extrinsic calibration, the determination of camera location and orientation parameters, is performed using fixed landmark markers shared by the camera scenes. Additionally a wand calibration, the sweeping of the camera scenes simultaneously, was also performed. Techniques have been developed to perform intrinsic calibration, extrinsic calibration, isolation of the markers in the scene, calculation of marker 2D centroids, and 3D reconstruction from multiple cameras. These methods have been tested in the laboratory side-by-side comparison to a traditional motion capture system and also on a parabolic flight.

This is one of many short video segments which will be added to the Digital Tipping Point (DTP) archive. Thanks to Thomas King, a writer for Linux.com and LXer, for doing the rough editing for this series of interview segments! This series of 11 interview segments features John William Templeton, a widely published historian, journalist, and business commentator. John is president and executive editor of eAccess Corp. in San Francisco. As editor of the San Jose Business Journal, he helped pioneer coverage of technology industries in the 1980s. His popular book, "Success Secrets of Black Executives," highlighted the pivotal role of African-American technology executives. Since 1999, he has presented the 50 Most Important African-Americans in Technology list and published the annual Silicon Ceiling report on equal opportunity in technology. He is an honors graduate in journalism from Howard University, and completed the Minority Science Writers Seminar and the Stanford Professional Publishing Course. John is also a leading historian of African Americans in business, and his Digital Tipping Point interivew connects current efforts by African Americans in Free Open Source Software to the deep history of African Americans in the broader technology field. One of the primary themes that emerge from John's interview is the appeal that Free Open Source Software (FOSS) holds for African American entrepreneurs. He says that FOSS holds the appeal of lowering the barrier for entry of African American innovators creating small to medium businesses, which is where most new jobs are created. He thinks that FOSS appeals to African nations intent on preserving culture and language that would be lost to the predominantly European languages in which proprietary software such as Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. FOSS allows African nations to localize Free Software into the 5,000 small-population languages spoken in Africa, thus preserving the thoughts and cultures of the speakers of those languages. John's experience as an expert witness in the anti-trust trial against Microsoft reminds us of the perils of entrusting culture to a monopoly whose interests are not always parallel to the interests of the users of software.

In segment 10 (Tape 159~007), John talks about the IBM television commercial for Linux involving Cornell West. Cornell West is an African American professor of divinity. John Templeton says that Cornell West is a public image who, like many African American personalities, is associated with freedom and rebellion against authority. He says that Cornell West talks about freedom and liberation, and then at the end of the commercial, you see the words IBM and Linux. He thought it was an effective ad campaign. He thinks that companies like Apple and IBM and Sun Microsystems will market Linux-based solutions to protect themselves against the Microsoft monopoly. IBM wants to get consumers to move past the expectation that all computer services must be based on Microsoft Windows.

This is one of many short video segments which will be added to the Digital Tipping Point (DTP) archive. Thanks to Thomas King, a writer for Linux.com and LXer, for doing the rough editing for this series of interview segments! This series of interview segments features anthropologist Gabriella Coleman. You might think that anthropologist are only useful for studying bones of old, forgotten cultures, but you would be wrong. As this series of 10 interview segments shows, we can learn a lot about modern cultures and subcultures from anthropologists. Gabriella is not a computer scientist, but she does a great job of gaining enough computer science knowledge to understand what members of the Free Open Source Software movement are saying to each other. Her interviews are fascinating, because she spends much of her time thinking and talking about how people in the Free Open Source Software movement have created norms and established trust. These are really important issues, for several reasons. First, Free Open Source Software establishes the basic infrastructure for hundreds of billions of dollars in commerce every year. The Internet basically runs on Free Open Source Software, as does Google, Facebook, and most other such businesses. The US National Security Agency relies on GNU-Linux to run its computers, as does the US military. Huge civil bodies such as the City of Munich and the Region of Extremadura, Spain, rely on it. Second, Free Open Source Software is very international, as Gabriella points out, so what we learn from Free Open Source Software about collaboration can help humanity manage our complex international relations more smoothly in other areas as well. In segment 05 (Tape 106~005), Gabriella continues on with a thought from segment 04. She is talking about Steven Levy's book, "Hackers". She says that in an appendix at the end of the book, Stallman says that he thinks he is the last hacker. He thought that the hacker culture was dying, due to the lockdown that was creeping to the computer software industry. [In fact, Stallman says in his DTP interview, and elsewhere, that he started the Free Software movement to stop the death of hacker culture). Gabriella says that although the law was causing some of Stallman's problems, he used the law in a very "hackish" way to solve the problem. Stallman used copyright law to invert the way that copyright law applied to software, through the GPL, which is the license underlying GNU-Linux, which many people just call Linux. In doing so, Stallman created the conditions by which the hacker ethic could live on. Continuing with segment 05, Gabriella says that as of the time that this footage was shot, hacker culture became much more politicized, due to massive changes in intellectual property law, such as patents and the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA). In their response to these challenges, hackers (software developers) have become as much legal actors as technical agents. But the hackers legal and political activism has given them much more autonomy than other professional groups. Medical doctors, for example, are constrained more narrowly by interests such as insurance groups. Also, medical doctors don't volunteer their labor on the massive scale that hackers do. The hackers activism helps create the trust and group cohesiveness needed for them to maintain control over their profession and the Free Open Source Software movement to the extent that they do. In segment 06 (Tape 106~006), Gabriella Coleman says that Alexis de Tocqueville was surprised by the degree of volunteerism that he found when he made his famous tour of the young United States. She says that hackers have greatly extended the power of volunteerism, and have mixed it with commercial endeavors. She then moves to the topic of sustainability of the Free Open Source Software movement in the face of such large volunteer contributions. She says that Free Open Source Software has proven itself to be viable over the long-temr, and that it is actually because of the voluntary nature of Free Open Source Software contributions that the movement is so enduring. She says that her research found that software developers experienced a great deal of personal alienation at being cut off from their work product when they work at commercial companies if the company goes bust or if the project on which they are working gets shelved. Developers feel attached to their work, and they want to continue it or build on it. Doing so is difficult when developers work at commercial companies, because they don't own their work. With Free Open Source Software, the developers own their work even after leaving the company, because the code is licensed to the world. No one company owns it. This dynamic provides lots of satisfaction to the developers. She says that developers make the analogy of their work as a tree which could get cut down for no reason after years of attention from the developer, _if_ the project is a closed proprietary project. She say that developers also like to know that their work is being used. They like the interaction that they get with users and other developers. Even bug reports, which can be looked at as reports of flaws in the code, are welcome to developers, because it tells them that their code is being used. This footage is our raw rough-cut footage.

by Drew Moseley At: FOSDEM 2019 https://video.fosdem.org/2019/Janson/mender.webm Robust software updates on Embedded Linux devices is complex, and doing robust software updates over-the-air adds to the complexity. The hardships come of course from the embedded environment which differ in many ways compared to desktop or server Linux installations, where you must handle poor mobile network connectivity, sudden power-loss and never leave a device in a unusable state (brick) when doing the update OTA. There are a lot of examples that have gotten attention in media, where unstable software update solutions have caused real-life problems which could have been mitigated by a robust software solution that is able to handle the corner cases that exist in the embedded environment. In this talk Mirza Krak will present Mender, Apache 2.0 licensed end-to-end software update solution. This is a deep-dive session that will cover: Mender project ecosystem Insights to technical solutions/choices Security model/approach Community Drew will also present some of the features that are being worked on and what lays ahead for the project. Benefit of Open Source Ecosystem This presentation will help the open source community get detailed insight of the Mender project and general knowledge of designing an software update system for IoT devices.
