I will highlight practical ways that anyone can help improve free software games, regardless of whether we know coding or other skills -- even if you don’t know how to code, you can always spread the word about the games that you love! Then, I will conclude with some easy ways for anyone to do a little free software activism every day.</p></div>Lightning talkshttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/lightning-talks/2020-04-23T18:37:43.757909Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2339/freedomsun1525.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Alper Atmaca, Grant Shangreaux, Joey Hess, Roberto Beltran, Vasilis, Jan Nieuwenhuizen, Shivaram Lingamneni</p>

<p>A lightning talk is a five-minute presentation on any topic that you think would be interesting to a group of free software users, hackers, and activists. Each session has time for a total of twelve talks. Since we're seeking a breadth of relevant topics, submitting a talk does not guarantee you a slot.</p>
<p>We'll pick the twelve talks that we feel are most interesting to our attendees once we've gotten enough submissions. We're especially interested in hearing from new people who haven't ever spoken at an FSF event!</p>

<p>Games are part of our culture, like books and movies. While we have access to some older games via emulators, we are failing to save our free software history. Many developers try to develop a game, and then the game reaches a satisfactory state or the developer just moves on. Finding these games can be hard. Eventually libraries or languages change, and the game no longer runs. This talk will discuss restoring games for future players to enjoy.</p></div>Closing remarks LibrePlanet 2020http://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/closing-remarks-libreplanet-2020/2020-04-23T18:36:44.820374Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2336/grandsun1800.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Zoë Kooyman</p>

<p>30 years after the World Wide Web was created, can we now make it better? How can we ensure that our most important values -- privacy, free speech, and free access to knowledge -- are enshrined in the code itself? In a provocative call to action, entrepreneur and libre Internet advocate Brewster Kahle challenges us to build a better, decentralized Web based on new distributed technologies. Web site content and code could be served peer-to-peer, with decentralized pseudonymous identity, and even payment models. What a world it could be! He lays out a path to creating a new Web that is reliable, private, but still fun -- in order to lock the Web open for good.</p></div>Keynote by FSF executive director John Sullivanhttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/keynote-by-fsf-executive-director-john-sullivan/2020-04-23T18:35:52.819017Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2334/grandsat1730.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>John Sullivan</p>

<p>In a world increasingly defined by environmental deregulation, how can free tools and technology alter the ability for communities to be part of the solution? This talk will explore a decade of work where community science and free technology have been used to support people in addressing environmental concerns. Focusing on the work of Public Lab, the talk will take us from the 2010 BP oil disaster through the rapid growth of free technology for environmental monitoring, and take a closer look at the challenges we face going forward with data, hardware, and governance.</p>

As all of us in the world of free software have something to learn from this generation of newcomers, the FSF will be presenting an interview panel with three rising members of the community: Alyssa Rosenzweig, Panfrost developer and former FSF intern; Taowa, the youngest (non-uploading) Debian Developer in the project's history; and Erin Moon, developer of the Rustodon implementation of ActivityPub.</p>
<p>The panel will focus on topics that are crucial to the movement's continuing success and "freeing the future," including keeping our focus on the principles of freedom, making a place for the youngest or historically excluded members of the community, and responding to the rise of surveillance capitalism. The panel will be moderated by Greg Farough, campaigns manager of the FSF.</p></div>GNU Health Embedded: An introductionhttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/gnu-health-embedded-an-introduction/2020-04-23T18:33:52.110783Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2331/freedomsun1335.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Sean O'Brien</p>

<p>The GNU Health software suite is a libre health and hospital information system with a strong focus on public health. This talk focuses on recent updates to GNU Health Embedded, a version of GNU Health that is being updated as a 100% libre software and hardware platform. It will be tailored for pocket-sized computers, and is currently being developed by PrivacySafe for the Beagleboard.org BeagleBone AI hardware.</p>
<p>This shift includes an increased focus on privacy and security, allowing GNU Health to be deployed in a myriad of environments with servers that are, optionally, accessible via the Tor network. This talk will dive into the details of the GNU Health Embedded development effort, and explores user scenarios for the platform.</p></div>Free software for minorities in Turkey in their own languageshttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/free-software-for-minorities-in-turkey-in-their-own-languages/2020-04-23T18:33:28.543079Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2330/patriotsun1135.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Ozcan Oguz, Alper Atmaca</p>

<p>In Turkey, along the Anatolia, more than 25 languages are spoken. Our organization, Özgür Yazılım Derneği (Free Software Association of Turkey), wanted to translate our Web site and works to Anatolian languages including Kurdish, Zazaki, Lazuri, and Homshetsi. Through conversations with culture institutes and associations, we learned that Anatolian minorities, who are also enduring repressive assimilation policies, are not able to use their devices with their own languages.</p>
<p>Free software and freedom philosophy gives a ray of hope to Anatolian minorities. We are “freeing the future” by translating and documenting GNU/Linux, GNOME, Firefox, LibrePlanet, and perhaps Android/Replicant to their languages, as well as Wiktionary and Wikisource, to help them keep their languages alive.</p></div>Platform cooperativism, surveillance capitalism, predictive analysis, and youhttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/platform-cooperativism-surveillance-capitalism-predictive-analysis-and-you/2020-04-23T18:32:47.535012Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2329/grandsat1620.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Micky Metts, Keegan Rankin, Chris Thompson</p>

<p>Our data makes us unique. How can we own our data? Are we more powerful if we align into groups? How do we own the software platforms we use? How does cooperative development work? How do we share work on large projects? Why and how will free software help us in this era of surveillance? There are so many questions, and very little time for us to come up with solutions or responses. The tech industry has all but left free software in the dust, while spreading malware and using disingenuous advertising campaigns. We can find ways to build the future with free software, but we also need to raise awareness. Although free software is not the answer to all of society's problems, it plays a huge role in how much control we have over our own data and our own future as citizens and as workers.</p>

<p>Free software is much better than proprietary software in many ways, but this talk is about how it’s also a more environmentally sustainable model for computing. Free software makes it easy to reuse old machines and prevent excess waste from going into the environment. This can't be done with proprietary software because the manufacturer can force updates that slow the machine down, or they could stop supporting the system altogether. This is not a problem with free software, because the source code can be modified. </p></div>Rented future: The dangerous rise of life as a servicehttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/rented-future-the-dangerous-rise-of-life-as-a-service/2020-04-23T18:31:20.623510Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2327/freedomsat1040.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Lucy Ingham</p>

<p>We are entering the post-ownership age. In recent years, the Service as a Software Substitute (SaaSS) model, which is already dominant in many areas of consumer software, has begun to spread into other aspects of our lives. It will soon be, if it isn't already, possible to live without actually owning possessions. You can now get your clothes, electronics and food -- among many other items -- on subscription, as well as real-world services such as laundry and transport. In time, we are set to see a handful of companies renting you everything you rely on, and that gives them incredible power, not only in terms of your possessions, but also in terms of their ideological control over you and the wider population. This session explores the potential damage of the Life as a Service (LaaS) model, and what free software can do to help.</p></div>Public Invention: Free hardware inventions “in the public, for the public”http://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/public-invention-free-hardware-inventions-in-the-public-for-the-public/2020-04-23T18:31:03.251151Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2326/patriotsun1620.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Robert Read, Marc Jones</p>

<p>Public Invention is a new nonprofit that hopes to create a movement to help humanity by bringing the values that power the free software movement to hardware and math. The basic tactic is to form teams of inventors that work publicly, in the light, with free licenses.</p>
<p>This talk will be accompanied by a demonstration of physical devices that embody the public-invention project-based approach. These projects will be explained as a motivation of our intellectual property policies and specific operating practices. We will briefly touch on the six most advanced projects supported by Public Invention, and briefly mention some of the forty invention ideas that have been donated to Public Invention to develop and build. We will place Public Invention in a historic context, discuss the mission, and explain our vision for the future: a world where inventing “in the public, for the public” is the norm.</p></div>Community healing: Re-establishing norms, trust, and truth after criseshttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/community-healing-re-establishing-norms-trust-and-truth-after-crises/2020-04-23T18:30:37.522362Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2325/grandsun1620.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Katheryn Sutter</p>

<p>Free software comprises a commons shared and coordinated voluntarily by users, developers, and others. If we think of free software participants as a self-governing community, they need paths toward setting their own expectations and standards, evaluating facts, and developing trust between them. Those are three interrelated but different kinds of processes. When one of these processes is disrupted, we rely on the others. When all three are disrupted, crises can spiral. Each may need to change, be reconfirmed, or left as an open question.</p>
<p>In this talk, we'll explore practical approaches for community leaders, moderators, and contributors, as well as concepts of deliberative democracy from Habermas' theory of communicative action. </p></div>Secure Scuttlebutt: Peer-to-peer collaboration and community infrastructurehttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/secure-scuttlebutt-peer-to-peer-collaboration-and-community-infrastructure/2020-04-23T18:30:16.991689Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2324/patriotsun1525.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Charles Lehner</p>

<p>Software licenses that give people freedom are facing scrutiny from a variety of interests and organizations. This session seeks to articulate the core values of software freedom: how the tenets of FSF's Four Freedoms and the Open Source Definition's criteria enable networks of collaboration and co-creation. Current issues from a variety of interested parties are considered, not on their value as a movement, but rather their impact on the freedoms to run, study, modify, and redistribute works. Alternative approaches to licensing that can address concerns of communities will also be offered.</p></div>Sugar Labs: Past, present, and futurehttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/sugar-labs-past-present-and-future/2020-04-23T18:29:18.676726Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2322/freedomsun1430.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Devin Ulibarri, Walter Bender</p>

Everyone learns by doing, contributing, critiquing, and reflecting on their work -- anything from short code created in a visual programming language to a major contribution to a critical project. The Sugar Labs' community has been around and active for more than a decade, it operated as a member organization under the umbrella of Software Freedom Conservancy, and now we are entering an exciting new chapter as its own non-profit. In this talk, we will discuss a little bit of the history of Sugar Labs, what has made it special over the years, and what we expect for the future. We will demonstrate some of our leading learning tools, such as Turtle Blocks, Music Blocks, and the Sugar OS. Lastly, we are open to ideas and questions about our future.</p></div>Fediverse: Decentralized social networking and serviceshttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/fediverse-decentralized-social-networking-and-services/2020-04-23T18:28:56.738159Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2321/grandsun1430.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Der.hans</p>

Further, we will learn how to run these tests on our own, while commenting on experiences running usability tests on GNOME. We also discuss how to create ways for the community to start contributing. </p></div>Patents and freedom: Where we stand nowhttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/patents-and-freedom-where-we-stand-now/2020-04-23T18:28:19.584886Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2319/patriotsun1040.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>McCoy Smith</p>

<p>For many years, the existence of software patents, and the threat that certain entities would use them against free software, was an issue of significant concern to the free software community. Since then, there have been many court decisions that have altered the landscape of what may be patented, procedures allowing challenges to patents outside of the court system, industry initiatives to create "patent peace" around parts of the free software world, and changes in the behaviors of certain patent holders once thought to present the greatest threat to free software. This presentation will give an overview, designed for a non-legal audience, of the latest developments, and suggest where the future of patents and free software may be headed.</p></div>The Gandhian way to freedom and privacyhttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/the-gandhian-way-to-freedom-and-privacy/2020-04-23T18:27:58.248668Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2318/freedomsun1040.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Nishant Sharma</p>

<p>The time is ripe to build a strong case for individual self-hosting, backed up by community-hosted public network services with mutual trust among members. In this talk, I will build a strong case for individual self-hosting backed up by community-hosted public network services by drawing parallels to Mahatma Gandhi's "Charkha Movement," in which the traditional spinning wheel became a powerful symbol of self-sufficiency and freedom. We will need a similar approach within our communities in order to truly own our devices and networks, and reclaim our right to privacy.</p></div>LibreOffice's tenth anniversary: The many faces of a global free software communityhttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/libreoffice-s-tenth-anniversary-the-many-faces-of-a-global-free-software-community/2020-04-23T18:27:45.117341Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2317/freedomsat1620.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Italo Vignoli</p>

<p>LibreOffice was announced in 2010, and will celebrate its tenth anniversary in 2020. Over these last ten years, the global community behind this project has grown from a small group of volunteers, mostly based in Europe, to a large and diverse group of free software advocates spanning many countries. This presentation will discuss the challenges faced by the community during this incredible growth, and will provide a better understanding of the community for people who have only followed this evolution through announcements and events. </p></div>Free software enables free sciencehttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/free-software-enables-free-science/2020-04-23T18:27:22.865508Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2316/freedomsat1525.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Paul Gazzillo, Joshua Santana</p>

<p>The principles of free software encourage and enable free science. This talk will cover one academic's experience with free software in academia. The major takeaway is that the principles of free software make for good science. The talk will cover topics on free software development for research purposes, including dissemination and evaluation, as well as teaching, both for supporting education and for teaching about the tools themselves. I will go over (1) how free software has supported my own research by enabling sharing and integration of multiple research projects; (2) how free software is (or is not) used in the academic literature and the effects on repeatability; and (3) how I integrate free software tools in my own courses.</p></div>Free software for community radio: LibreTime and other software toolshttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/free-software-for-community-radio-libretime-and-other-software-tools/2020-04-23T18:27:07.058347Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2315/grandsat1525.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Robb Ebright</p>

<p>This presentation will provide a summary of current free software tools that can be used in operating a terrestrial or Internet-based community radio station. It will focus primarily on LibreTime, an AGPLv3-licensed radio automation system, and some of the underlying free software components it is built with, including Icecast and Liquidsoap. I will share how LibreTime is used by my community FM station, WCRS-LP, to operate our broadcast using primarily free software, and some of the challenges faced in doing so. I will also share information about some other free software projects, like AzuraCast and Rivendell, to provide overview of the free software landscape for radio stations. My hope is this will serve as a blueprint of inspiration for other people seeking ways of running their radio station using free software. Community media can serve a vital role in informing the public, and free software can play an essential part of this.</p></div>Bicycles as a metaphor for free softwarehttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/bicycles-as-a-metaphor-for-free-software/2020-04-23T18:26:40.392158Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2314/freedomsat1430.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Wm Salt Hale</p>

<p>While riding from Seattle to Bellingham, from my biking community to my GNU/Linux community, I considered just how freeing each transition had been. Historically, biking has been associated with many things including health, happiness, and feminism. What about free software?</p>
<p>During the next 45 minutes, we will explore the free engineering, grassroots innovation, hands-on learning, hidden dangers, bright horizons, and overall rad routes that both free software and bicycles cover mile by mile, together.</p>
<p>This ride through history, including the past, present, and future, will leave both free software and cycling enthusiasts with a deeper understanding of what it is that "sparks joy" within members of each group.</p>

<p>As most free software advocates know, it can be very difficult to explain the central concepts to people who have never heard of these ideas before. If you introduce too many things at once, people tend to tune you out from being overwhelmed, and then they don't really appreciate the benefits of free software.</p>
<p>This presentation will explain effective strategies to teach the next generation what free software is, how it differs from proprietary software, and how licenses like the GPL and BSD 3-Clause have similar goals yet different legal implementations. William has been teaching (and grading) his college students on these concepts, and he will show you how to do the same for your students or your friends. Foundational legal concepts like copyright, patents, and trademarks will be clarified, as well as how to break down the main software license categories: copyleft (strong/weak), permissive, and proprietary.</p></div>Keeping secrets: What you need to know about encryptionhttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/keeping-secrets-what-you-need-to-know-about-encryption/2020-04-23T18:25:54.085850Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2312/grandsat1135.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Dee Dee Lavinder</p>

<p>From ciphers to cybersecurity, encryption is all around us. We rely on digital security while we bank, shop, and communicate. At the core of that security lies encryption. As developers, we use some form of encryption in our work every day. Maybe we are storing or sending data online, implementing authentication protocols, or protecting our customers' payment information.</p>
<p>This talk will cover the basics of a topic extensive enough to spend years studying. What is encryption? How does it work? Why is it important? You can expect to come away with a solid understanding of the foundational concepts of encryption. We will also take a little bit of time to peek into the future of encryption, where things are getting exciting!</p></div>Transparent code, secure data: Selling free software to the US government, our bosses, and ourselveshttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/transparent-code-secure-data-selling-free-software-to-the-us-government-our-bosses-and-ourselves/2020-04-23T18:25:33.671412Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2311/patriotsat1040.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Karen Johnson, Fen Labalme</p>

<p>How many times have you heard someone say that free software seems insecure, that it’s buggy, that it’s a pain to install or use, or that it just looks unprofessional? We love using and championing free software, but how do we sell it in our work? How do we convince clients that free software is professional, secure, reliable, and useful? And how do we help them learn about the ethical and moral value of free software, and empower them to share that message? In this session, we’ll talk through our methods of promoting free software in government digital services projects. We’ll share some wins, some not so successful attempts, and some future initiatives, and talk about how you can make changes at your own organizations. And we’ll share our git repo with some playbooks and strategies for those who want to bring this work back to their own companies!</p></div>Lessons learned from cultivating free software projects and communitieshttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/lessons-learned-from-cultivating-free-software-projects-and-communities/2020-04-23T18:25:09.236203Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2310/grandsat1335.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>JJ Ashgar</p>

<p>Over the last decade, I’ve had the privilege professionally of building and cultivating some free software projects and communities. This isn’t a tools talk: this is a talk about the soft skills you have to have to be able to succeed as a leader in an free software project. I’ve learned a ton on this journey; honestly I still am learning, but I have some lessons to share, and hopefully, I can warn attendees about pitfalls that can cause wasted cycles and pain. Topics will include scoping your project, personally-backed versus corporate-backed projects, why empathy and audience is important, celebrations, defeats, successful traits of free software projects, and more.</p></div>Preventing the IoT dystopia with copylefthttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/preventing-the-iot-dystopia-with-copyleft/2020-04-23T18:24:54.630767Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2309/grandsat1430.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Bradley Kuhn</p>

<p>Most IoT (The Internet of Things) devices remain under the control of the companies that manufacture them, yielding a plethora of security, privacy and software freedom concerns. Ironically, most such devices include Linux as their kernel, and usually no GNU. Linux's license, GPLv2, mandates the users' rights to modify and upgrade the software. Sadly, due to widespread violations of the GPL, such rights are rarely granted with most IoT devices on the market. This talk explains the political, social, and legal backstory that led to this abysmal situation, and proposes what we must do next to ameliorate the problem.</p>
<p>These embedded devices typically remain under the complete control of the manufacturer — not only for their basic functionality — but for safety and security updates as well. In many cases, these devices require Herculean efforts by the home user to modify and upgrade.</p>
<p>This talk explains the political, social, and legal ramifications of this abysmal situation. Attendees can expect a full explanation of the history of GPL enforcement, how it has historically defended the rights of hobbyist modifications to home devices, and what processes exist now to continue that fight.</p></div>Digital painting with Krita on GNU/Linux: Cute creature concept-arthttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/digital-painting-with-krita-on-gnu-linux-cute-creature-concept-art/2020-04-23T18:24:34.378847Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2308/grandsat1040.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>David Revoy</p>

<p>Farming is one of humanity’s oldest technologies, and while the principles of free software may only seem relevant to the past 70 years of innovation, farmers have been struggling to keep their technology free for the last 12 millennia. In this session, we’ll look at some scenarios of where this truth has been borne out in our work creating free farm management software with farmOS, and deploying free hardware solutions with Edge Collective. These projects have shown us that the principles of free software can and do make a real difference to farming communities, both large and small, across the globe. Whether it’s by preserving the right to repair tractors, sensors and other equipment on their farm, or by enshrining their right to access, store, and share their valuable data when, where, and how they choose, granting farmers with more freedom leads to better outcomes for the communities who rely on them.</p></div>Font Bakery: Gathering font engineering knowledge while improving a large collection of libre fontshttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/font-bakery-gathering-font-engineering-knowledge-while-improving-a-large-collection-of-libre-fonts/2020-04-23T18:20:32.631629Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2306/freedomsat1335.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Felipe Sanches</p>
<p>Typography is a complex topic, and there are there are plenty of ways that a digital font can malfunction. Font Bakery aspires to become the ultimate font checking tool. To reach that goal, the project is structured as a collaborative compilation of font engineering knowledge and best practices.</p>
<p>This talk will discuss the challenges in gathering font engineering knowledge, and compiling it in a manner that is both effective for the implementation of automated quality checks, and simple and easy to grasp for type designers. We'll also share insights into git-based workflows for the development of libre fonts.</p></div>
