For June's meeting (on 19th) we are thinking of having a talk (and discussion) on the legal and political matters relating to Free Software and computing freedom, particularly given that GDPR has recently come into force. This could cover not only GDPR but also areas such as the Data Protection Act 2018 (yes, 2018!), the Digital Single Market policy including copyright reform, more widespread realisation of the consequences of data slurping + data analytics, and so on. Thoughts and comments?
I'd also like to do a lightning talk on my further experience of the [GNU/]LFS system including Beyond [GNU/]Linux from scratch and especially Guix. Other topics that have been suggested for the talks in the year: * GNU MediaGoblin ** Not packaged for Debian stable nor backports (nor Guix) and doesn't look likely. * Tahoe-LAFS ** https://packages.debian.org/tahoe-lafs * Blender ** https://packages.debian.org/blender ** https://hydra.gnu.org/search?query=blender ** Upcoming 2.8 version: https://www.blender.org/2-8/ Thoughts and comments? Thanks, M. -- FSF member #9429 http://www.fsf.org/register_form?referrer=9429 http://www.fsf.org/about "The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a nonprofit with a worldwide mission to promote computer user freedom and to defend the rights of all free software users."
