Living federation

This talk is titled "Living federation," and was presented at LibrePlanet 2022 by Julin Shaji.

Julin is a computer science student who enjoys being part of free software communities. Currently, he is studying haskell, ocaml, sml and some of type theory.

This talk is about the many services we commonly use in our daily lives that have FOSS alternatives that support federation. It will look into some of the privacy-respecting options that we can use instead of those offered by Big-Tech.

LibrePlanet is the Free Software Foundation's annual conference. The FSF campaigns for free/libre software, meaning it respects users' freedom and community. We believe that users are entitled to this; all software should be free.

We do not advocate "open source".

That term was coined to reject our views. It refers to similar practices, but usually presented solely as advantageous, without talking of right and wrong.

gnu.org/not-open-source

Richard Stallman launched the free software movement in 1983 by announcing development of the free operating system, GNU. By 1992, GNU was nearly operational; one major essential component was lacking, the kernel.

In 1992, Torvalds freed the kernel Linux, which filled the last gap in GNU. Since then, the combined GNU/Linux system has run in millions of computers. Nowadays you can buy a new computer with a totally free GNU/Linux system preinstalled.

The views of the speaker may not represent the Free Software Foundation. The Foundation supports the free software cause and freedom to share, and basic freedoms in the digital domain, but has no position on other political issues.
