Open-Source Exploitation

In this session, we'll do a deep dive into the history of open-source software its ethical issues in the modern, hyper-capitalized development landscape, and how we can survive as humans in a world where the hobbyist computer clubs of the early microcomputing era founded practices that are being weaponized against the individual in the 2020s.

Ethics

A vital, rollercoaster session about something that effects the livelihood of every developer - and is about finding the humanity in the centre of our software.
