Pollyanna: Build your own libre social network

Pollyanna is a web framework that makes it easy to create your own libre social space, such as a social network or blog. With Pollyanna, you can achieve full transparency, including software, content, and voting record. You can also deploy your own community space in less than an hour.

In this workshop, we will learn about the Pollyanna framework and how to use it to create our own libre social spaces. We will also discuss public-private key infrastructure (PKI), hashes, and chains, and how those can be used to build a data structure that allows for a completely portable user profile.

This workshop is for anyone who is interested in learning more about Pollyanna and how to use it to create their own libre social space. No prior experience with Pollyanna or web development is required.

Presented by: Ilya Gulko

I am a passionate advocate for accessibility, compatibility, and consent in software. I have been working on Pollyanna, a libre web framework for building social spaces, for six years. I am excited to share Pollyanna with the LibrePlanet community and teach others how to use it to create their own libre social spaces.

In my workshop, I will introduce participants to the Pollyanna framework and teach them how to use it to create their own social spaces, such as social networks, forums, or blogs. I will also discuss the benefits of using Pollyanna, such as transparency, decentralization, and user-controlled moderation.

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.
