# Free Software Supporter
Issue 103, November 2016

Welcome to the Free Software Supporter, the Free Software
Foundation's (FSF) monthly news digest and action update -- being
read by you and 121,941 other activists. That's 2,642 more than last
month!

### The FSF seeks nominations for the 19th annual Free Software Awards due 
November 6th!

*From October 11th*

The FSF and the GNU Project call upon the free software community to
submit nominations for the 19th annual Free Software Awards. The
Free Software Awards include the Award for the Advancement of Free
Software and the Award for Projects of Social Benefit. The awards
are presented each year at the LibrePlanet free software conference.

### Reminder: LibrePlanet call for papers is open

*From September 27th*

This year, the theme of LibrePlanet is "The Roots of Freedom." This
encompasses the historical "roots" of the free software movement --
the Four Freedoms, the GNU General Public License and copyleft, and
a focus on strong security and privacy protections -- and the
concept of roots as a strong foundation from which the movement
grows.

**Call for sessions applications are currently being accepted and
are due by Wednesday, November 16th, 2016 at 18:59 EST (23:59
UTC).**

### Licensing resource series: How to choose a license for your own work

*From October 27th*

We provide plenty of resources when it comes to picking a license.
From our list of licenses to essays on copyleft, if you are looking
to figure out what license is right for you there is plenty of
information to rely upon. But this month's resource helps to pull
that information together in one place to make selecting a license
simple.

  * 
<https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/licensing-resource-series-how-to-choose-a-license-for-your-own-work>

### We called on you to tell the U.S. Copyright Office that Digital 
Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) anti-circumvention rules are broken

*From October 26th*

The U.S. Copyright Office was taking comments on making some
exemptions from the DMCA's anti-circumvention provisions permanent.
We recapped our past actions and called on you to support the
existing petition by the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

### A photoblog of Richard Stallman receiving an honorary doctorate

*From October 20th*

RMS received an honorary doctorate from the Université Pierre et
Marie Curie (UPMC), in Paris, France. In anticipation of the merger
between the UPMC and the Université Paris-Sorbonne, which will be
finalized in January 2018, the two institutions organized, in the
great amphitheater of the Sorbonne, a joint ceremony that recognized
both achievers in the sciences and in medicine, as well as ones in
the arts and the humanities. Take a look at RMS receiving the
doctorate!

  * <https://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/photo-blog-2016-october-paris>

### Judge Mayer provides a strong case against software patents in 
*Intellectual Ventures v. Symantec*

*From October 18th*

The FSF has argued for years via our End Software Patents campaign
that software patents are a threat to computer users everywhere and
need to be abolished. And now a Federal Circuit concurrence makes
the case that software is not a patentable subject matter.

  * 
<https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/judge-mayer-provides-a-strong-case-against-software-patents-in-intellectual-ventures-v-symantec>

### Photos from Libre Learn Lab, in Cambridge

*From October 12th*

RMS was in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the Libre Learn Lab, a
summit “for people who create and implement freely licensed
resources for education, bringing together educators, policy
experts, software developers, hardware hackers, and activists to
share best practices and address the challenges of widespread
adoption of these resources in education.” He was one of the keynote
speakers and, on October 8th, gave his speech “Education for Freedom
with Free (Libre) Software."

  * <https://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/photo-blog-2016-october-libre-learn-lab>

### Tim Berners-Lee just gave us an opening to stop DRM in Web standards

*From October 6th*

Tim Berners-Lee decided not to exercise his power to extend the
development timeline for the Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) Web
technology standard. The EME standardization effort, sponsored by
streaming giants like Google and Netflix, aims to make it cheaper
and more efficient to impose Digital Restrictions Management (DRM)
systems on Web users. The streaming companies' representatives
within the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) were unable to finish EME
within the time allotted by the W3C, and had asked Berners-Lee for
an extension through next year.

### Karen Sandler delivered keynote at OSCON EU, taught kids in London about 
free software

*From October 26th by Software Freedom Conservancy*

Conservancy's executive director Karen Sandler delivered a keynote
last week in London, England at OSCON EU. Karen discussed software
freedom ideology and its place relative to social justice issues.
Drawing from her experiences looking at medical devices, Karen
illustrated software freedom as a threshold issue, at the service of
those bigger challenges. Karen stated the case for why software must
be free in order to solve our biggest social problems effectively in
the long-term.

### Interview with Ali Miracle: a visually impaired free software warrior and 
developer from Iraq

*From October 8th by Steven Johns*

For most of us, software development isn't a difficult industry to
enter. Many of us are able people that live in places with
affordable internet access or have access to education streams that
can be accessed. We can easily get a hold of resources like
textbooks and complete lessons on websites without much difficulty,
well, sometimes with JavaScript. These things are out of reach to
the majority of people around the world, and they are even further
out of reach for those of us who have impairments and disabilities.
One of these people is Ali Abdul Ghani, a visually impaired software
developer and self-described free software activist from Baghdad,
Iraq.

### An Emacs update... experience from a non-developer

*From October 9th by Charles-H. Schulz*

I’m no software developer. When I’m not maintaining or creating websites for
friends, I’m not doing much else in the way of “coding.” My Emacs usage 
remains,
however, a daily experience that I would like to share here.

  * <http://standardsandfreedom.net/index.php/2016/10/09/an-emacs-update/>

### Second Roundtable on hateful and harassing speech online

*From October 7th by Software Freedom Law Centre - India*

Over the course of this discussion, it was highlighted that it is
indeed difficult to capture the contours of online harassment and
hate speech in definite terms, as the line between legitimate and
abusive uses of the freedom of expression is subjective. In
addition, social media is often the chosen platform for powerful
players to further their propaganda, and these positions of power
are at times used to popularize certain kinds of opinions at the
expense of others. With regards to free speech and expression in the
online space, anonymity poses a unique conundrum, where on one hand
it facilitates free and open discourse amongst vulnerable groups and
minorities, while on the other, it is used as a mask by the
perpetrators of harassing and abusive speech.

### ActivityPub and MediaGoblin at Technical Plenary / Advisory Committee 
(TPAC) 2016

*From October 5th by Christopher Allan Webber*

It seems a recurring meme in MediaGoblin land to say “we’ve been
quiet, because we’ve been busy” (or maybe historically on every tech
blog ever), but I guess I can’t resist repeating the mantra. It’s
true! Though the weight of my focus has been shifted from where I
expected it to be. From the last few updates over the last year, you
would be right to anticipate that the main thing I would be working
on would be merging the federation code Jessica has written and
getting 1.0 out the door. That was the plan, and we’re still working
towards that, but priorities shifted as we realized the
opportunities and time pressures we were under with ActivityPub.

### October Free Software Directory meeting recaps

Check out the great work our volunteers accomplished at the October
Free Software Directory meetings. Every week free software activists

### Join the FSF and friends in updating the Free Software Directory

Tens of thousands of people visit directory.fsf.org each month to
discover free software. Each entry in the Directory contains a
wealth of useful information, from basic category and descriptions
to version control, IRC channels, documentation, and licensing. The
Free Software Directory has been a great resource to software users
over the past decade, but it needs your help staying up-to-date with
new and exciting free software projects.

To help, join our weekly IRC meetings on Fridays. Meetings take
place in the #fsf channel on irc.gnu.org, and usually include a
handful of regulars as well as newcomers. Everyone's welcome.

The next meeting is Friday, November 4th from 1pm to 4pm EDT (17:00
to 20:00 UTC). Details here:

  * <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Free_Software_Directory:Meetings>

### LibrePlanet featured resource: Design

Every month on LibrePlanet, we highlight one resource that is
interesting and useful -- often one that could use your help.

For this month, we are highlighting Design ideas in free software
projects, which is a space to share ideas and examples of good free
software design. You are invited to adopt, spread and improve this
important resource.

  * <https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Design>

Do you have a suggestion for next month's featured resource? Let us
know at <campaigns AT fsf.org>.
