Re-Decentralizing the Web (Penguicon 2017)
"The internet has become increasingly centralized, with large corporations like Facebook, Google, Apple, and Amazon controlling the most-used services and placing all of us under surveillance. We’ll discuss FOSS tools that can help replace centralized corporate services with community-based alternatives." (slides)
Decentralized Organizing (Penguicon 2017)
"Groups like Occupy in the US and Podemos in Spain have created large-scale movements without a traditional, top-down leadership structure. But are they successful? (Spoiler: yes, just in different ways.) These “leaderless” -- or more accurately “leaderful” -- movements have been able to grow quickly and create large-scale demonstrations without needing grants or full time staff. How’d they do that? Come learn techniques you can use, and how they can be applied within the free/open software community." (slides, sticky notes)
