  abstract: In this talk, we will introduce the works of Commons Machinery, a new
    initiative working to make attribution of digital works easy and automatic, look
    at how what Walter Benjamin discussed in his 1935 work "The Work of Art in the
    Age of Mechanical Reproduction" is relevant from today's perspective of a reputation
    economy, and how embedding metadata in digital works can support this reputation
    economy and aid people in both using and contributing to the Commons.

  title: Human Rights Perspectives on Intellectual Property Problems
  subtitle: ''

  start_time: 2013-11-10 15:15:00.000000000 Z
  abstract: We all know that there are many things wrong with the intellectual property
    law regime and that it is in different ways unsuitable for today's society. Finding
    convincing arguments to influence policies and laws is a must. International Human
    Rights Law provides a language of internationally recognized standards which we
    all could use to bring across our point for more freedom and equality.
  description: ! "Copyright as a law and a mindset is today receiving increasing criticism
    from many different perspectives. Some of them are rather intuitive, - based on
    the general understanding of freedom in a liberal society - some are economic,
    sociological, etc. The idea of claiming human rights to stop the expansion of
    copyright is not a new one either. Freedom of expression has long been a flagship
    for many anti-copyright movements, especially in the U.S.  \r\nInternational Human
    Rights law, however, is an indivisible body of specialised international law norms,
    aimed at expressing and protecting the very core of human existence – his or her
    dignity. In the discussion about copyright there is a group of human rights we
    have to take into consideration. Among them not only the right of freedom of expression,
    the right to education, the right to participate in cultural life, but also the
    authors’ right to benefit from protection of their moral and material interests.
    All of them have to be protected.\r\nWhat kind of balance do human rights offer
    when implementing these rights? How does/should it influence the copyright law?
    During this talk I will try to answer these questions and will encourage to see
    human rights as a helpful tool of advocacy, but also as a binding international
    law states and individuals have to observe. "

    en kurs i programmering i programspråket Scratch där 8-12 åringar bjuds att på
    ett lekfullt och experimenterande sätt utforksa programmering. Under ett par timmar
    skapas projekt utifrån deltagarnas egna önskningar och drömmar. Det kan handla
    om spel eller andra program. Syftet med Hackerklubben är att göra människor och
    samhälle rikare genom att ge barn möjlighet att lära sig programmera. Att lära
    sig programmera tänjer på din tankeförmåga, hjälper dig att förstå och se system
    och skapar mönster för tankar som man har nytta av i långt många flera områden

  abstract: One of the big and still unrealized potentials of Bitcoin is the possibility

  description: ! "One of the big and still unrealized potentials of Bitcoin is the
    possibility to build economics into protocols. By building protocols that makes
    use of this we can create economic incentives where none existed before. Undesirable
    digital behaviours can be disincentivized, and thanks to the nature of Bitcoin
    and its decentralisation we can lower transaction costs (not just fees) to a point
    where currently non-existent markets are feasible. The reason is that software
    using software-defined money with no regulation can automate most aspects of transaction
    costs like search, identification of the product, terms negotiation, settlement,
    and dispute resolution. Which are those markets, how do we identify them, and
    is that a future we want?\r\n\r\nThe speaker thinks this opportunity can be seized
    to create new technology that aids us in the fight against surveillance laws,
    improves the way we distribute data, and has the potential to reshape industries.
    Bittorrent could be vastly improved from barter to a money-based economy where
    goodwill from the swarm is retained. Tor that relies on donations could be improved
    or replaced by anonymous internet on tap, displacing a lot of the VPN industry.
    In the long term ISPs and mobile network operators would face fierce competition,
    and we would see more and more things turn into utilities just like water and
    electricity.\r\n\r\nThe talk will begin with a short introduction to Bitcoin and
    its advantages and problems. After that little-known and -used features of Bitcoin
    will be shown, and how they are relevant for new protocols. After that we'll identify
    non-existent markets and opportunities that are feasible with the new tools at
    our disposal."

  abstract: ! 'Education, especially higher education (also PhD) is tightly connected
    to computers and software on them. We need an operating system to use computer
    with possible peripheral devices, several different applications to work at our
    everyday academic tasks. For all that, we need software. We can buy it or use
    free and open source software (hereinafter: FOSS) to save money but not only -
    also our souls, if I may say so.'
  description: ! "Schools needs to teach not only subjects like natural sciences,
    history, languages and others but also  being a good member of their society.
    Using FOSS one can look inside the code and learn from it and share that code
    with others without violating  the law. In fact, it is encouraged to help spread
    the software freedom and FOSS. When you share the software, you can help others
    to get their computers to work and jobs done. In this way schools can raise a
    helpful, responsible, competent generation familiar with free tools available
    on the Internet. FOSS can be also adopted to better fit your needs via open source
    code. You even don't need to know programming when you just would like to e.g.
    translate it.\r\nWhenever you're using proprietary software then you may not share
    it, because its licence forbids it. Also, the source code is closed and you can't
    look inside the code and understand what this software does. You probably don't
    know but hidden „treasures“ can do very bad things inside the proprietary software.
    Also,  important data can be locked into proprietary data formats and cannot be
    freely open with FOSS (aka vendor lock-in). The cost of proprietary software can
    be quite substantial so students may not have such money - and this makes education

  abstract: Hang out with Serengeti! If you put free software in an ideological context,
    possibly leveraging it to improve society, Serengeti is a place for you. This
    meetup is for all people interested in Serengeti visions and actions, no matter
    the amount of earlier involvement.
  description: ! "Serengeti is network for those who sympathize with the solidarity
    movement and want to learn more about, and discuss, free software. Our goal is
    that more people will discover free software and put it in an ideological context.
    We hope that more people will understand the value of using free software and
    operating systems and that it will become more common among organizations and
    activists within the solidarity movement.\r\n\r\nSerengeti promotes free software
    usage within the solidarity movement, and also promotes a free and equal culture
    within the free software community. Actions taken towards these goals have been
    organizing talks and workshops, writing articles and essays, organizing seminars
    etc.\r\n\r\nOur main communication channels is our mailing list and our wiki.
    It is a digitally based and distributed collaboration.\r\n\r\nNo matter how much
    earlier involvement in Serengeti you have, come and hang out if you are the least
    interested in these questions."

  description: ! "JAK is an interest free (according to definition of interest as
    \"fee not justified be actual work effort\"), members owned bank and movement
    who works for and with fair economy. We have operated an interest free savings
    and loan system since 1970 and we obtained bank license in 1997. We have over
    38 000 members, who all have one vote each in the democratic process.\r\n\r\nWe
    base our organization on values that we, the members, have established and we
    believe that all people can and should talk about economy, since economy concerns
    our everyday life and the future of this planet. The rules of the economy should
    be formulated by the people. The design of the economy also determines how other
    things in our society are to be designed. This means that it is the economy and
    the money that directly dictate what kind of lives we will lead. Do we prefer
    to be stressed, work long hours and suffer a lack of energy for friends and family?
    Or would we rather have time for each other? Would you like to live in a spirit
    of community and solidarity with others, or continuously feel insecure and uneasy?
    Economy concerns all of us. It is nothing that we should leave in the hands of
    so called experts/economists. Experts cannot conclude what you want to achieve
    with your life and society. They have opinions, but they cannot alone decide upon
    what is right and what is wrong."

  abstract: On the surface of reality, everything looks just fine. It looks like never
    in our history have we been so creative, so inspiring and so productive in every
    possible way.
  description: ! "On the surface of reality, everything looks just fine. It looks
    like never in our history have we been so creative, so inspiring and so productive
    in every possible way. Click randomly on any TED talk or any other of the two
    zillion inspiring conferences happening in every second on this planet and you
    will see that we are almost there, that there are just few steps or clicks away
    to eliminate poverty, cure every disease, make governments accountable and transparent
    with promising web platforms that will save the world.\r\n\r\nBut, somehow if
    we look away from the keyboard (our beloved Internet machines), it doesn't look
    \ like something has really changed\r\n\r\nWe‘ve managed to centralize/monopolize
    the Internet into the hands of a few huge companies, who in turn hold all information,
    resources, knowledge and data. We‘ve managed to build an illusion that millions
    of startups are not just outsourced research and development for those few companies.
    We somehow believe in the fact that its completely normal that majority of startups
    or micro business will die in the first two years and those few happy ones will
    be bought over by the big companies and achieve their ultimate dream to be young
    and rich.\r\n\r\nWith leading countries pumping industrial military sized budgets
    in the next few years into cyber war, tools and cyber soldiers, there is a small
    chance that the Internet will not turn into one big battlefield in which all of
    our personal computers will be used as a zombie units of silent and invisible
    war. Our dependence on the networked technology in every possible field of our
    professional, private everyday life will turn us into the victims, future cyber
    refugees or unconscious cyber soldiers.\r\n\r\nOur beloved gadgets and personal
    computers will become and they already are the biggest surveillance system ever
    existed. All the information about our every segment of our lives are there at
    the fingertips of the governments, government agencies, huge private companies
    or cyber criminal groups or individuals, and we are doing all of this voluntarily.
    Governments that are finally starting to realize the importance of our big network
    are trying to push (in every few weeks) new laws that will legalize Internet surveillance,
    making exchange of knowledge and information regulated and impossible.\r\n\r\nAnd
    finally, we manage to destroy the narrative. Journalism is not needed anymore
    because we are not able to consume more than 144 letters in one subject. Books
    are not needed because we don't have time to read them. We are producing much
    more information that we are able to consume and we will never have the time to
    try to understand what all of those information really mean.\r\n\r\nBut one can
    say, that it is ok, it ‘s something that we usually do. We manage to mess up with
    every type of media we create. Remember radio, or even better cable tv? From empowering
    and decentralized media into the mashup of mass produced trash and ultimately
    a propaganda machine. Somehow this time it feels a bit different, maybe because
    we are so massively participating in it.\r\n\r\nThis anarchy of destroying our
    past and our present opened this endless potential to just take the power back.We,
    the people never had this weaponry in our hands before. A single person was never
    this powerful ever. THIS is what we should awake in people.\r\n\r\nSo, What Do?\r\n\r\nKeep
    calm and rethink everything.\r\nFor the moment lets just slow down a bit. Do we
    really need to consume so much? Do we really need to share everything about every
    segment of our personal life? Do we really need to participate in all of this.
    \ Should we all emigrate to “dark net“, invent some new Internet and leave this
    one to die? Have no idea. But what is for certain; we should talk and discuss
    about it.\r\n\r\nKeep calm and code new laws.\r\nKeep your eyes open and follow
    every little movement in the creation of new legislation. Our network of networks
    was not made to be an ultimate surveillance machine and the end of privacy. It
    was also not made to serve old and obsolete business giants built on proprietary
    content and distribution. Analyze, understand, create awareness, defend or attack.
    Courtrooms and parliaments will be our battlefield of Internet freedom.\r\n\r\nKeep
    calm and consume and share differently.\r\nBecome an info vegan, build your own
    independent micro peer networks of information between trusted and loved peers.
    Create your own social networks and reclaim your own content and information in
    order to be free to share them the way you want to share."

    on, the systems.\r\nThis is true for financial systems, weapons systems, monitoring/surveillance
    systems, and others. Intrinsic to this is the progressive replacement of humans
    by machines.\r\nTo some this means that we as human beings become unburdened and

    of being human as we know it, which some reagrd as a good thing, while others

    contracts by a computer and checking user-defined properties on the read ToS.
  description: ! "The seed for this project was the talk of Hugo Roy (tosdr.org) from
    FSCONS 2012 which gave me the idea for a really useful application of the research
    that I have been doing on Logics for Legal Contracts; the application is to help
    common Internet service users to deal with (read/understand/verify) the multitude
    of ToS that they encounter throughout their Internet experience.\r\n\r\nThis project
    has three main aspects: \r\n(1) is the more established techniques for how to
    read ToS texts/language (in possibly multiple language variants) and to build
    a logical structure that a computer could manipulate; \r\n(2) involves, still
    to be improved, logics for legal contracts that are meant to be the basis for
    a computer to really understanding the meaning of the text that it read, the various
    notions that the text contains, and the many implications and connections; \r\n(3)
    is the implementation of a system to help users with their daily readings of ToS,
    necessarily involving human experts, and with a slow convergence to a mostly automated
    reading and verification process.\r\n\r\nFor the first part there are good technologies
    like the Controlled Natural Language Attempto from Zurich and support for multilingual
    documents with GF at Chalmers.\r\nThe work that Hugo Roy presented, which is done
    by the team of tosdr.org, is the basis for the part (3) of the project. The talk
    of Hugo Roy gave enough motivation for my project; e.g., an average EU citizen
    would have to spend 76 working days in one year only for reading (not understanding)
    the many ToS that she agrees with, let alone the complicated legal vocabulary
    that is most often difficult for common people to understand or the refered jurisdictional
    binding laws. Since legal advice is unavailable to the common person, the computer
    must replace it as much as possible. In the talk I will present the plan for the
    framework that the project wants to realize, and the sketch for how part (3) should
    be approached.\r\n\r\nI will also present the technologies that I plan to use
    in this project and how they could be tied together, i.e., the natural language
    part and the logics for ToS part, their purposes and necessity. The talk is prepared
    for both the non-specialists as well as for the more specialists or technically
    curious."

    documents with GF at Chalmers.\r\nThe work that Hugo Roy presented, which is done
    by the team of tosdr.org, is the basis for the part (3) of the project. The talk
    of Hugo Roy gave enough motivation for my project; e.g., an average EU citizen
    would have to spend 76 working days in one year only for reading (not understanding)
    the many ToS that she agrees with, let alone the complicated legal vocabulary
    that is most often difficult for common people to understand or the refered jurisdictional
    binding laws. Since legal advice is unavailable to the common person, the computer
    must replace it as much as possible. In the talk I will present the plan for the
    framework that the project wants to realize, and the sketch for how part (3) should
    be approached.\r\n\r\nI will also present the technologies that I plan to use
    in this project and how they could be tied together, i.e., the natural language
    part and the logics for ToS part, their purposes and necessity. The talk is prepared
    for both the non-specialists as well as for the more specialists or technically
    curious."

  description: ! "An essential part of building a language technology\r\ninfrastructure
    \"for the rest of us\" is reuse and flexibility.\r\nMost of the languages not
    covered by existing language technology\r\ndo not have computer programs with
    an ability to process text or\r\nspeech in their language. Making such programs
    is not an easy\r\ntask: The dominating languages combine an abundance of accessible\r\ntext
    resources with an impoverished inflectional structure.\r\nMethodologies for these
    languages capitalise upon this, and use\r\nstatistical and list-based methods
    where the primitives are the\r\nwords (character strings between spaces). The
    majority of the\r\nlanguages of the world are in the opposite situation, and combine\r\na
    paucity of textual resources with a rich morphological\r\nstructure, ranging from
    8 forms of each noun in Scandinavian to\r\nmore than thousand forms of each verb
    in Finnish. An on top comes\r\nthe productive compounding of Northern Europe.\r\n\r\nWe
    will present the infrastructure and tools used and developed by\r\nthe Divvun
    and Giellatekno groups at the University of Tromsø to\r\ndevelop proofing tools,
    localisation, intelligent language\r\nlearning resources and other linguistic
    resources for almost 40\r\nminority languages. The main importance in this infrastructure\r\nlies
    in its portability and reusability. The available resources\r\nto do the required
    work to develop these resources are limited,\r\nand thus one can not afford to
    redo the same or similar work\r\nagain and again in different projects, the way
    it often is done\r\nfor the largest language communities in the world.\r\n\r\nSumming
    up: Our approach makes language technology solutions for\r\ncomplex or lesser-resourced
    languages possible, and our\r\nopen-source infrastructure makes it an efficient
    and doable\r\napproach for the larger OS community. Join in!\r\n"

  description: ! "12:00 Linguistics as Open Source Code. How to repeat \"Project\r\nLinux\"
    for language technology (en)\r\n\r\nLanguage technology will be and is partially
    already an important\r\npart of the computing ecosystem: everything from keyboard\r\nlayouts,
    Unicode and fonts to machine translation and speech\r\nrecognition fall under
    this umbrella. At present, much of the\r\nlanguage technology is only available
    for a small group of\r\nlanguages, which serves to further consolidate the digital
    divide\r\nthat exists today. As most of the languages outside the digital\r\nworld
    today are the small and economically irrelevant language\r\ncommunities, the only
    possible way out of this situation is going\r\nopen source, and repeat what Linus
    Torvalds did for general\r\ncomputing in the area of language technology.\r\n\r\nBut
    is it possible? Or is natural languages more complex than a\r\ncomputer OS? Building
    a complex operative system based upon\r\nanarchistic cooperation on the web was
    unthinkable in 1990, still\r\nit was done a decade later. When it comes to language
    technology,\r\nthe task of letting the computer take structure and meaning into\r\naccount
    when process natural language, the issue is still open.\r\n\r\nIn this presentation
    we will argue that albeit more complex,\r\nrepeating the Linux project for natural
    language processing is\r\nindeed doable. What the open source community has offered
    for\r\nlanguage processing has been list-based approaches such as\r\nispell, efficient
    and useful tools since the early 70ies. For\r\nmore advanced tasks (complex grammars,
    machine translation,\r\ngrammar checking), we need to include more.\r\n\r\nWhile
    the Linux community developed OS-es and end user programs,\r\nthe language technology
    field became divided between academic\r\nresearch without practical applications
    on one side, and\r\nstatistically-driven grammar-free approaches on the other.
    We\r\ndescribe a third path, essentially extending the Linux approach:\r\nAn advanced
    crowd-sourced model based upon a grammar-based\r\napproach to the problem.\r\n"

  abstract: This will be a brief summary of how OpenStreetMap, the free map who anyone
    can edit, changed license of the data. The project was founded in 2004 and the
    data was licensed under a Creative Commons license. However, after a few years
    it appeared that the chosen license wasn't very suitable for this kind of open
    data. A changed license would have to be approved by all contributors, and so
    the issue was debated for several years. The concrete work to switch license began
    in 2010, and was completed in September 2012.

    and the totalling 30 million articles.\r\n\r\nDespite the utopian aim, the systemic
    bias is hard to overcome and the fully global perspective seems, however much
    work is done, to be constantly out of reach. To what extent is Wikipedia global?
    Why does it aim to be global? What does it mean to be global? And is it really
    necessary? This presentation will try to answer these questions, discuss advantages
    and disadvantages of globality, discuss its appearance and try to conclude: is

  abstract: ! "\r\nThe ultimate horror is not the end of civilization, but its endless
    decline. But how can we get the message out if nobody wants to listen? We at monochrom
    call our working method »Context Hacking,« thus referencing the hacker culture,
    which propagates a creative and emancipatory approach to the technologies of the
    digital age, and in this way turns against the continuation into the digital age
    of a centuries-old technological enslavement perpetrated through knowledge and
    hierarchies of experts. Context hacking transfers the hackers’ objectives and
    methods to the network of social relationships in which artistic production occurs,
    and upon which it is dependent. In a metaphoric sense, these relationships also
    have a source code. Programs run in them, and our interaction with them is structured
    by a user interface. When we know how a space, a niche, a scene, a subculture
    or a media or political practice functions, we can change it and »recode« it,
    deconstructing its power relationships and emancipating ourselves from its compulsions
    and packaging guidelines.\r\nJohannes Grenzfurthner will present some projects
    by monochrom, a worldwide operating collective from Vienna dealing with technology,
    art, and philosophy that was founded in 1993. "

  abstract: To end the culture of stress, loneliness and depression we need to look
    at what kind of lives we want to live. It is clear that the majority of people
    want to spend more time with friends and loved ones and less on working. Especially
    with job's that they hate. Current society promotes working as the ultimate goal
    of life. A universal basic income is a practical way of organising our economy
    to be more in line with what the vast majority wants; that wealth should be distributed
    more equal.

    all the work done in secret.  Much time was spent putting together the puzzle:
    Each revision came in a new shape - differently styled Word document, different
    PDF export, and maybe available only on printed paper. Extracting the _evolution_
    of the political agenda embedded in those revisions was a quite complex task.'

    reliable interpretations of the date contained in those sources.  \r\n\r\nDebianParl
    is a project to optimize Debian for parliamentary workers. \r\nOne area is handling
    documents in the decision making process.\r\n\r\nCatmandu is a framework for handling

    we use Catmandu to streamline distilling non-biased facts from the mess of (e.g.
