Plom: Paperless Open Marking

slides

Victoria Schuster is a fourth year engineering physics student at the University of British Columbia. Her recent work has focused on bringing free designs to medical and educational spheres, especially with regards to treatments for coronavirus.

In this talk, this panel, which also includes Dryden Wiebe and Vala Vakilian, introduces their undergraduate summer project, in which they improved the functionality of Paperless Open Marking, or “Plom,” the GPLv3 licensed test-taking system currently in use at the University of British Columbia. Plom is a software system that enables students to take tests on paper and get them marked and returned online, with maximum respect for their privacy.

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 do 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.
