<p>Summary</p>
<p>Why are most mainstream platforms free of charge? Why is the answer to this first question a threat to humanity's future? What can we do about it? With a historic perspective, citing authors like Shoshana Zuboff, Marshall McLuhan, and Yanis Varoufakis, I try to give a perspective of how dystopian digital platforms nowadays are personal data extraction machines, how this machine works, the power of media (after S.Freud and E.Bernays), and why it is so critical for the future of humanity to choose libre software and ethical platforms.</p>

<p>Summary</p>
<p>LeanWeb is a very lean web framework on top of Rack and Tilt that works for both static and dynamic content alike. The idea is being able to build static websites first, and add dynamism when needed without having to rely on dirty tricks. First, we will explore the basics of LeanWeb. Then we will create our first static website using the tool. Finally, we'll add dynamism without pain nor guilt. For participation some experience with HTML and CSS is recommended. No previous experience with Ruby is required, however, some programming experience is recommended. To make things go smoothly, please install Ruby on your GNU/Linux machine previous to the workshop. Installation with your distribution's package manager is good enough.</p>

<p>Summary</p>
<p>From every point of view, the current digital model is catastrophic. Yet, even when we are aware that we need to change the model, it is difficult to take action because it is a complex, wicked problem. To support individuals and collectives on their path toward ethical digital tools and practice, we developed a pedagogical tool in the form of paper cards linked to a digital resource using QR codes. We brought together a set of ready to-use workshops and set of questions. We've put them on cards that can be used for face-to-face workshops, while the online resource can be used to get further up-to-date information. All the contents were developed using free software and are available online under a CC-BY-SA licence.</p>

<p>Summary</p>
<p>Are you interested in a serendipitous Haskell programming learning method on your computer with 1700+ katas ready to train? Newk is a Bash script using a 100% free software environment that takes advantage of serendipity, the same way you learn to speak in childhood. No formal (or informal) classes: you are simply exposed to spoken information of any kind and at any level in real contexts, where everything is new, surprising, and true. Did you learn to speak? You will learn to program!</p>

<p>Professional translators are more than often taught to use proprietary tools in universities and professional groups. OmegaT has existed for 20 years as a professional Computer Aided Translation tool (CAT) and is used all around the world. This workshop will introduce participants to the concepts behind CATs and especially how they are practically put into use in OmegaT: translation memories, segmentation, exchange formats, collaborative work, etc.</p>
<p>Biography</p>
<p>I am based in Japan and am a professional translator from Japanese and English to French since 2000. I've been using free software for a bit longer and have been involved with OmegaT since shortly after its official release as free software, in 2001, helping with the "soft" aspects of its development. With the Covid-19 pandemic, I started a "development literacy" program based on OmegaT and aimed at translators who wanted to learn how to contribute code: https://sr.ht/~brandelune/omegat-as-a-book/</p>
<p>I am also a part time lecturer at the University of Lorraine (France) in their Computer Aided Translation MA class</p>

<p>Software localization (translation) of Web-based projects could be a nightmare for many developers. However, this time-consuming process can be solved easily thanks to the free software tool Tolgee. Jan Cizmar will guide you through with his workshop named Web Application Localization Without Tears. He will show you how to manage localization texts in simple UI or how to take the advantage of the in-context localization feature, so you can just click & translate the text easily.</p>
<p>“The more languages your software knows, the more of a satisfied users you have". However, current software localization in modern JS frameworks and other software is complicated and fairly time-consuming for all involved participants. Thanks to the in-context localization feature of free software project Tolgee, this tool offers easier localization process, more relevant translations delivery and finally less work for developers.</p>
<p>The workshop will contain live demo where I would like to describe using Tolgee JavaScript software development kits on simple React.js Web application example. However, Tolgee is currently compatible with other frameworks such as Angular, Svelte, Vue.js or Next.js.</p>
<p>Participants will learn easy localization workflow using by Tolgee tool, simple localization texts management, how to integrate Tolgee into Web app in less than one minute, how to take advantage of different Tolgee features as e.g. automatic generation of screenshots or in-context localization.</p>
<p>Biography</p>
<p>Jan is founder and CTO of Czech startup Tolgee which aims to simplify the process of software localization thanks to the free software licence. He studied Applied Informatics at Masaryk University and has more than ten years of experience with software development of different projects. With all the gained knowledge he decided to found Tolgee in March 2021 to deliver smart and simple software on his own way.</p>
<p>He's focusing on development in strictly typed languages like Java or Typescript as he finds it most responsible way to develop sustainable and scalable codebase. He likes to find ways to keep code clean and without boilerplate duplicities and he hates being copy-pasting monkey. </p></div>Installing Ourselves into LibrePlanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/installing-ourselves-into-libreplanet/2022-06-30T18:42:20.506141Zlibreplanethttp://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/<img src="http://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2748/libreplanet2022-workshop-Installing-Ourselves-into-LibrePlanet.thumbnail.jpg" alt= /> <div><p>Hosted by Cristina Cochior, Karl Moubarak, and Jara Rocha of The Cell for Digital Discomfort</p>
<p>A workshop session to map out each of our current conditions of connecting and being together, the physical-political, and technological conditions using a diagrammatic methodology.</p>
<p>The workshop is geared towards installing ourselves into the conference's infrastructural spectralities by sharing, learning from and attuning to each others' conditions for connectivity, online participation and basic computer-mediated mundane day-to-day life. We want to pose this affirmation as an initial trigger: installing is about situating — attuning to our network of (inter-)dependencies and attuning to the dependencies with our local and vernacular but also standardized and planetary networks.</p>
<p>This workshop was created in the context of the Fellowship for Situated Practice organized by BAK.</p>
<p>Biography</p>
<p>The Cell for Digital Discomfort (CfDD) is interested in developing practices that would go towards something like “solidary discomfort” by circulating questions and experiments that deal with turbo-capitalist domination, linear solutionism, and seamless operations. CfDD wants to stay with the unease despite too-comfortable modes of infrastructural becoming, in order to intersectionally imagine ways to refuse compliance with totalitarian innovation, and to do so in a more explicit conversation with crip techno-science, anti-colonialism, queer struggles, and environmental justice.</p>

<p>Join us to build a network run and controlled by the users themselves. We will work through guides to show users how to run their own chat server, mail server, name server, web server, reverse proxy, VPN, and more. We welcome people with no prior experience!</p>
<p>Our long-term goal is to create a free network with a constitution and digital bill of rights (https://wiki.ircnow.org/?n=Freedom.Freedom).</p>
<p>For the workshop, we would take the user on a quick tour of the Unix command line, followed with a sysadmin course: https://wiki.ircnow.org/?n=Minutemin.Bootcamp . We provide both shell accounts and virtual private servers for users to log in and work on. Our network is based heavily on OpenBSD, but we will be opening up to allow any free operating system to join the network (currently there are plans for GNU/Linux and Plan 9).</p>
<p>Our network is currently centered mostly around IRC, but we have added XMPP support and will try to add Matrix soon. We welcome novices of any level.</p>
