Some mind-blowing hallway track at #SeaGL2020 ... figured I was just too tired to watch more talks, and found myself learning about point-to-point networks set up in Uganda to bypass government censorship
Random Geek in limboaand I'll just stay on the stream for that @SeaGL track because "Data Liberation: Open Source Observability" is next and that's highly relevant to my interests. #SeaGL2020

Data Liberation: Open Source Observability (moved from prev slot)
Observability is a very popular buzzword for measuring your system's performance, and vendors are extremely excited to sell you tools that will grant meaningful insight to performance problems. But real observability isn't a product you can buy in a box, it's about truly understanding your system, reducing the number of 'black box' components in your stack, and quickly finding the cause of problems. I'll show you how tools like Grafana and Prometheus can make it easy to measure your stack.

Building Alternative Networks for Fun and Resistance
If all the networks are owned by a small handful of corporations, how can your network be free (as in speech)? If all the networks are surveilled by the government, how can any network by free? Is there any alternative? This talk will tell you how to build several types of alternative networks with open source tools that can be used temporarily or for the long term, depending on need and context. I'll talk about choices of hardware and network type, how (and whether) to connect it to the wider Internet, and some basic security considerations to help you plan. I'll broadly cover light-based networks, smartphone network hacks, point to point radio networks, and mesh networks you can build with off the shelf (or thrift store) wifi routers. For each network type, I'll give some pros and cons, along with links to more detailed tutorials so you can try them out yourself.

Software freedom through collective action
For even the most tech-savvy, achieving software freedom today is no easy task. And so much of our free software serves primarily as upstream foundations for *proprietary* end-user software companies with huge teams funded by SaaSS paywalls and third-party ads. The trickle-down model of software freedom does not work. End-users being able to contribute patches helps but is not enough. What can we do? To see widespread freedom, we must *center end-user voices* and fund *end-user* focused free software well enough to out-compete proprietary options. This talk will not focus on the specific solutions we're working on at Snowdrift.coop. Instead, I will describe the economic and political reasons why the free software movement needs stronger end-user orientation and why it's so hard to build the necessary solidarity. The impact will be successful whether people want to join our efforts or figure out how to apply this orientation elsewhere in the movement.
