Interesting in putting together a BoF? Want to sign up for a lightning talk? Need to RSVP to a dinner? This is your place to do all that and more!
Birds of a Feather sessions are a time for people to get together around a specific topic or identity, either to focus on conversations, come up with new ideas, or just spend time socializing. We suggest organizing BoFs during lunch times, for breakfast, or dinner. Need ideas for a location? Check out What's Around LibrePlanet.
Theme/Topic
Liberating the education system
Organizer(s) Mariah Noelle Villarreal
Description Educators, youth workers, caretakers and friends will discuss the challenges and successes in making and using free software with youth as learning tools. We will document our experiences in an effort to share best practices.
If you're reading this beforehand, try to think of what you'd like to share with the group and a direct action for the group to do for next steps like sharing the EFF's "Tips for Parents Concerned About Student Privacy" with parents in our communities. https://www.eff.org/issues/student-privacy/tips

THEME/TOPIC Collective Action for Political Change
ORGANIZER: Shauna Gordon-McKeon
DESCRIPTION:
Tech is having a pervasive effect on politics. At LibrePlanet, we've been discussing topics like privacy, automation, online news, algorithmic bias and more.
The focus of this BoF is on collective actions that the tech community can take to try and address these issues, including but not limited to unionization, hiring boycotts, and codes of ethics.
Tables next to 32-123
Theme/Topic Cryptotable
Organizer(s) Steve Revilak on behalf of https://www.cryptoparty.in/boston
Description Cryptoparty at a table! We welcome people to drop in and out, and talk about privacy enhancing technologies; how to fight back against surveillance; threat modeling (i.e., the kinds of things you'd want to protect yourself from), and other topics related to privacy and digital security. We can demonstrate -- or better, help you set up -- free software to accomplish these goals. Of course, we can sign PGP keys too.
