SUMMARY:FOSDEM'20
DESCRIPTION:Thousands of open source developers from all over Europe are flocking to Brussels on 1 and 2 February to share ideas and collaborate.\nFOSDEM is one of the top developer events on the planet\, gathering 8\,000+ open source community members. Although NGI-funded projects have only been operational for just one year\, several NGI-funded projects have been selected to talk at this FOSDEM 2020 edition. \nNGI is driving activities at the community-organized event and the objectives of FOSDEM are closely aligned with the NGI Initiative. Open source communities address most parts of the Internet stack with a philosophy that is fully aligned with the values supported by the Next Generation Internet: openness\, respect of privacy\, transparency\, inclusion\, cooperation and decentralisation. \nFor more info on NGI involvement at FOSDEM\, read our news article:\nNGI SUPPORTS OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY’S FOSDEM 2020 \n\nFOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet\, share ideas and collaborate.\nEvery year\, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. \n \nWhat is FOSDEM?\nFOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event organised by the community for the community. The goal is to provide free and open source software developers and communities a place to meet to: \n\nget in touch with other developers and projects;\nbe informed about the latest developments in the free software world;\nbe informed about the latest developments in the open source world;\nattend interesting talks and presentations on various topics by project leaders and committers;\nto promote the development and benefits of free software and open source solutions.\n\nParticipation and attendance is totally free\, though the organisers gratefully accept donations and sponsorship. \nDeveloper rooms\nThe FOSDEM team feels it is very important for free and open source software developers around the world to be able to meet in “real life”.\nTo this end\, we have set up developer rooms (devrooms) with network/internet connectivity and projectors where teams can meet and showcase their projects. Devrooms are a place for teams to discuss\, hack and publicly present latest directions\, lightning talks\, news and discussions. We believe developers can benefit a lot from these meetings. \nA bit of history\nIn 2000\, Raphael Bauduin\, a fan of the Linux movement in Belgium\, decided to organise a small meeting for developers of Open Source software. He called it ‘Open Source Developers’ European Meeting’ (OSDEM).\nRaphael created a mailing list\, a small website and spread the word to people around him. Only a few weeks later\, lots of people were waiting for an exciting event in Brussels! Invitations were sent to well-known figures in the community: Rasterman\, Fyodor\, Jeremy Allison and so on. They all gave a very positive response\, and OSDEM was on the road to success.\nFor the second year\, OSDEM was renamed FOSDEM. And now\, many years later\, it has grown into the event it is today. We now try to cover a wide spectrum of free and open source software projects\, and offer a platform for people to collaborate. Every year\, we host more than 5000 developers at the ULB Solbosch campus.\nRaphael is no longer the driving force behind FOSDEM. After 7 years of hard work he left the team for new Open Source plans.

SUMMARY:NGI @ FOSDEM19
DESCRIPTION:Next Generation Internet initiative – Year Zero\nCome work for the internet on privacy\, trust\, search & discovery\n Track: Lightning Talks | Room: H.2215 (Ferrer)\nLast year during a FOSDEM keynote Michiel Leenaars\, director of strategy at NLnet foundation\, introduced the Next Generation Internet initiative together with member of the European parliament Marietje Schaake. NGI aims to be the first concerted effort to put significant public funding to hands-on work to really fix the internet. Meanwhile\, the project is on its way. \n \nOn December 1st 2018\, the first open calls opened with funding for independent researchers and developers working on free and open source projects in the area of privacy and trust enhancing technologies and on search\, discovery and discoverability. In this talk Leenaars\, project lead of NGI Zero that is currently offering 11.2 millioneuro in grants\, will tell everything you need to know about the various open calls that you can apply for. With grants ranging from 5.000 euro to 50.000 euro available for research\, development and engineering effort NGI Zero aims to lead the push toward the post-Snowden internet we want. \nFrom the humble four nodes of the ARPANET that were bootstrapped half a century ago this year\, until today\, the internet has grown at a breathtaking pace. But while the technology has gradually penetrated every aspect of our lives\, it has become clear that not all is well and at least some part of its growth has spiraled out of control. In fact\, web inventor Tim Berners-Lee has recently called the current state of his creation (and by extension the larger internet) “dystopian”. \nThe internet of especially the last fifteen years has brought about undesirable concentration of power (“winner takes all”)\, and while it has given us many good things has also caused loss of human agency in many other realms. Internet has given the world totalitarianism the likes of which it has never seen\, has enabled political manipulation at unprecedented scale affection the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Internet has eroded the private sphere to the point where it has been declared dead\, and the mantra of ‘big data’ and business analytics frame the discussion we should be having. Due to its open global nature and the wholly new types of economic dominance neither internet users nor governments both have an adequate answer against dominant super-actors. How dow we stop large scale abuse of power. Have the web and the internet become “anti-human” as Berners-Lee posits? And what can we do about it? \nThe internet is not going to fix itself. Many of the more promising efforts in this realm have been ‘bottom up’ efforts from individuals or small teams\, but these isolated efforts certainly have missed critical mass to actually scale up and change the mainstream internet and the commercial landscape where powerful actors are fully vested in the current course. The Next Generation Internet initiative aims to bring those efforts together\, strengthen and unite them and turn them into something that can be deployed across the whole internet. Let there be no doubt about it: fixing the internet is an insane ‘moonshot++’ effort: the internet is the largest technical structure man has ever made\, and the task at hand is to vastly improve its very operating fabric with > 3 billion people using it on a daily basis. \nAnd yet we have to: fixing the internet is essential to safeguard our economy and create a more resilient and robust infrastructure. And even more importantly we also depend on it to upholding our way of life. How the internet\, the web and the mobile ecosystems work directly impacts our human values. Crafting a better internet is essential for maintaining basic human rights such as privacy for the near-future Europe. \nSurely\, a larger political agenda of Europe should be an integral part of the approach – in some cases regulating the most predatory behaviour from bad actors might be the only thing left to put the genie back in the bottle and to restore health back to the internet. However\, it is also clear that a significant part of the solution lies in the hands of technologists. NGI Zero is probably the first funding programme of its scale that is entirely based on the principles of free/libre\, open source software. We need smart and resourceful people that come and work for the internet. Could this be you? In this talk Michiel Leenaars will explain how the funding works\, and how NGI Zero deals with important issues like localisation\, accessibility\, security\, packaging\, documentation\, responsible disclosure and more. Come and work for the internet too!

SUMMARY:NGI Keynote @ FOSDEM’18
DESCRIPTION:Next Generation Internet Initiative\nAn opportunity to fix the internet\nThe new Next Generation Internet initiative could be the first real opportunity to put large scale public funding to work to really fix the internet. With an order of magnitude of hundreds of millions of euro in research\, development and engineering effort it can actually be a major step toward reaching the post-Snowden internet we want. NLnet Foundation and Gartner Europe that wrote the strategic vision for the Next Generation Internet initiative will present the work they did in a unique collaboration which sought the expertise of key organisations and communities in the field – like RIPE (the European regional internet registry)\, GÉANT (research networks)\, the European assocation of country domain name organisations\, ISP associations\, the internet exchanges\, the open source community (FSFE)\, the digital civil rights community (EDRi) and Internet Society. So not just the separate communities that operate different ‘layers’ (or rather slices) of the technology but also what we consider ‘ethical guardians’ of the internet. \n2018 celebrates the fifth anniversary of the Edward Snowden revelations. Full details about covert mass scale surveillance at internet scale stripped the internet naked of every romantic assumption we held about it. The news sent a transformative shock throughout the global technology community. We were all convinced the internet would soon fix these horrible security shortcomings now that we knew – although naivity was destroyed and the internet would never be the same again. \nThe world has fast forwarded itself five years. We must conclude – with some sadness – that the internet was not fixed for us. We are still waiting for major structural change. To the regular end user\, a safe and secure ‘post-Snowden’ internet is far away: in day to day usage they still by and large have to use the same unfixed and insecure internet we had before. \nIn fact\, things in some areas have gotten worse as other actors besides foreign state agencies have gained immense powers over us. We are now asked by social networks to turn all our nude pictures over to them voluntarily so they may protect us. \nOne reason for this sad state of affairs\, is that it has take time to follow up the Snowden revelations by adequate political measures. And to be frank\, it took a while for public funding organisations in Europe to even understand their crucial role in this. The internet is not going to fix itself. Many of the more promising efforts in this realm have been ‘bottom up’ efforts from individuals or small teams\, but these isolated efforts miss critical mass to actually scale up and change the mainstream internet. \nThe new Next Generation Internet initiative could be the first real opportunity to put large scale public funding to work to really fix the internet. With an order of magnitude of hundreds of millions of euro in research\, development and engineering effort it can actually potentially change the balance of power. The Europen Commission (where the money for NGI originates) did not try to invent such a strategy by: it invited NLnet Foundation and Gartner Europe to write a strategic vision for the Next Generation Internet and identify what needs to be done to really move the internet forward. NLnet Foundation is an independent public benefit organisation which was set up by pioneers of the European internet in the eighties\, and which has been funding key open source initiatives for over two decades. Gartner Europe is an equally independent consulting company that knows what is being decided in board rooms before anyone else. \nIn a unique collaboration they sought the expertise of key organisations and communities in the field – like RIPE (the European regional internet registry)\, GÉANT (research networks)\, the European assocation of country domain name organisations\, ISP associations\, the internet exchanges\, the open source community (FSFE)\, the digital civil rights community (EDRi) and Internet Society. So not just the separate communities that operate different ‘layers’ (or rather slices) of the technology but also what we consider ‘ethical guardians’ of the internet. \nThe NGI initiative has learned from the enormous failures of the past five years. Gone will be the need to create artificial consortia. Gone will be a lot of the bureaucratic paperwork. There is a clear vision. There is a plan. And there is money to fund the right things. Open source is seen as the key mechanism to make it actually happen\, and the first calls for funding from the NGI initiative are out. Now what is needed is the developers to seize the opportunity to scale up and more importantly to connect their initiatives. \nFixing the internet is a ‘moonshot plus’ effort: the internet is the largest technical structure man has ever made\, and the task at hand is to vastly improve its very operating fabric with 3 billion + people using it on a daily basis. This may essential to our daily operations\, but it is equally or even more important for upholding our human values and basic human rights in Europe. In addition to new open source technology this will also require a larger political agenda of Europe as an integral part of the approach too – in some cases regulating the most predatory behaviour from bad actors might be necessary to restore health back to the internet. \nSpeakers:\nRob van Kranenburg\nMichiel Leenaars \n  \nFurther information:\nNGI Vision\nFOSDEM’18 \n
