Upcoming discussion topic ideas

Ideas

Please add any thoughts for new topics here.

  • Free software trivia night
  • Free Your Phone workshop for installing Replicant or similar. Note that Replicant is only supported on a very limited number of devices, so would require that people came with a known compatible device eg. bought from eBay. For people who don't have a compatible device and aren't able to buy a new one, we could help them install F-Droid free software app store.
  • GNU Parallel
  • Pagekite
  • The state of free software social networks including Diaspora and Identica
  • Free software in science: ecologists talking about how the use GNU R statistics tools
  • Workshop on making a gnu head in Blender
  • Where do you get your free software news? Favourite websites, news feeds, audiocasts, videocasts etc.
  • Book review: Free as in Freedom 2nd Edition
  • Run a Debian Bug Squashing Party as a way to get people started in contributing to free software
  • Contributing to h-node.com hardware database
  • Visiting free software folks from other states
  • Unsung heros: the free software that we all use, but no-one notices - an the people who maintain them
  • Free and open source-friendly employers - both technology companies and others, e.g. how do you make the print shop your work at more free software friendly.
  • USB-N dongles
  • e-book readers
  • DRM in HTML 5
