Free the Future Young Hackers Keynote Panel
Alyssa Rosenzweig, Taowa, Erin Moon
The future of the free software movement depends upon the work of its youngest members, the developers and community members responsible for carrying on the legacy of its founding ideas. 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.
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.
