Future Media Track Name: Thijs de Vries * Code: FMTS1 Gamification - using game elements and tactics in a non-game context * Organization: EduApp http://eduapp.com/ * BIO: Thijs de Vries M.Sc. is designer, facilitator and speaker on the intersection of engagement design, gamification and serious gaming. After graduating at the Technical University Delft in the masters program Design for Interaction, Thijs founded the engagement design studio Creative Seeds. As a user experience designer Thijs has worked on many innovative designs in the field of engagement design and persuasion. This led to his expertise on incorporating gamification into products and services for education, health care and sustainability. Besides running his own studio, Thijs is CTO of EduApp, an educational platform for promoting educational apps in the classroom. He is also one of the co-founders of Game Driven Innovation which aims to inspire companies about the possibilities of gamification. Thijs has previously been interviewed on his expertise about gamification in education and business. * Talk Summary: Gamification - using game elements and tactics in a non-game context - is in the middle of it's hype cycle. Companies integrate game elements in their products, services or events that will give consumers a completely different experience. But why? And why now? What are the trends that made gamification a hype? This talk is about engagement design or gamification. In the first part it will explain the difference between serious games and gamification. Which of the elements and tactics from gaming can be used outside of games to engage consumers? Can gamification give you as a company the solution to connect with your customers? Social media is giving us the tools to go into conversation. But how do you keep them interested? And how do you keep them engaged? In the second part I will discuss examples from the industry and show which are successful. After this talk you know what it is that makes gamification a useful strategy for any business looking to better approach and engage its audience.

He is best known for building bridges between commercial and non-commercial stakeholders in the technology sector. His professional accomplishments include establishing a legal department for the main NGO promoting Free Software in Europe, building a professional network of over 270 legal counsel and technical experts across 4 continents, and aligning corporate and community interests to launch the first law review dedicated to Free/Open Source Software.

His experience includes engagement with the server, desktop, embedded and mobile telecommunication industries. He does business in Europe, Asia and the Americas, and maintains a broad network of contacts. * Talk Summary: This talk explores how the OpenRelief team, inspired by challenges seen during the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, is using Open Source Software and Open Hardware to create disaster relief tools. The first step is to develop a small drone that can take off from anywhere, recognize roads, people and smoke while also measuring weather and radiation. It can be built for less than 1,000 USD, and easily shares information with Open Source and proprietary disaster management systems. The goal is to gather critical information for relief workers on the ground, and contribute to getting aid where it is needed. This talk is suitable for developers and project managers who want to see how new solutions are rapidly prototyped using open hardware and software, the challenges and advantages faced, and how this approach can solve old problems in new ways. It will be delivered by the co-founder of OpenRelief. Name: Ramon Roca * Code: FMTS3 Extending the freedom to network infrastructures with the Bottom-up Broadband and the Commons. * Organization: guifi.net http://guifi.net/en/node/38392 * BIO: Ramon Roca is a well known Spanish activist for a free network, with 25 years of experience in IT. He co-founded guifi.net back in 2004 a Bottom Up Broadband initiative in which citizens provide themselves the telecommunication infrastructure they use without the participation of traditional (Internet Service Providers (ISP). * Talk Summary: Guifi.net connect more that 17 thousand homes through a more than 30 thousand Kms long network through radio links and optic fiber channels in Spain. The talk will describe the impact and social implications of the project. Name: Bas van Abel * Code: FMTS4 If you can't open it, you don't own it. * Organization: Waag http://waag.org/en * BIO: * Talk Summary: In 2006 Makezine, a magazine aimed at people who enjoy making all kinds of things themselves, came up with the owners manifesto. The manifesto was introduced as: “If you can't open it, you don't own it: a Maker's Bill of Rights to accessible, extensive, and repairable hardware.” The manifesto is a very practical statement aimed towards the manufacturing industry. Makezine and like-minded people want to be able to repair and tinker with products. In other words, make them their own. In this presentation Bas van Abel takes one of Waag Society's latest projects, FairPhone, as a starting point to explore the invisible systems behind our products. From the conflicts around mineral mining in Congo to the business models that create closed and "designed for the dump" phones. By opening up a phone or any other product to the source, you open up the systems that make it into a product. You get to understand the actions that are needed to change these systems. Bas believes that this "ownership through opening" will catalyze more responsibility, both within the industry and within society. Name: Armijn Hemel * Code: FMTS5 Defensive Publications: ensuring freedom of use in the Open Source Community * Organization: OIN http://www.openinventionnetwork.com/ * BIO: Armijn Hemel, MSc, is the European coordinator for the Linux Defenders of Open Invention Network. * Talk Summary: Defensive publications are documents that provide descriptions and artwork of a product, device or method, so that it enters the public domain and becomes prior art. This powerful preemptive disclosure prevents other parties from obtaining a patent on the product, device or method. It enables the original developers or inventors to ensure that they have access to their own work by preventing others from later making patent claims on it. It also means that they do not have to bear the cost of patent applications. Defensive Publications are endorsed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) as an IP rights management tool. The Defensive Publications Program is a part of Linux Defenders, which is supported by the Open Invention Network (OIN). It enables developers and other non-attorneys to submit defensive publications quickly by using a simple Web-based form. After submission the defensive publication is reviewed and edited as needed by OIN personnel at no charge. The completed defensive publication is then added to the IP.com database, which is used by Examiners at the USPTO to search for prior art when examining patent applications. To prevent future patent wars and unencumbered use and reuse of Open Source code, we need your help to create defensive publications. At this conference you can bring your ideas for inclusion into the Defensive Publication program. We will sit down with you, explain how to write a defensive publication for your idea and help you write and submit it Name: Georg Greve http://www.23hq.com/GeorgGreve/photo/4438069 * Code: FMTS6 What you don't understand will still control you. * Organization: FSFE (Founder) http://fsfe.org and Kolab Systems (CEO) http://kolabsys.com/ * BIO: Self-taught software developer, traditionally trained physicist, and author of over a hundred articles on various issues around Free Software. As the founding president of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) Georg Greve has over ten years of experience in coordinating interdisciplinary, international activities, often involving multiple organisations and achieving goals in a variety of environments, including the United Nations, the European Commission, the International Standardization Organisation and large corporations such as Google.

It connects virtually everyone, everwhere and all the time. Yet its working are like dark magic to most people. And like dark magic, it holds power. Free Software developers are the white wizards of that world, freely teaching others about the power and control embodied in software. Georg Greve joined their ranks in the early 90s and will explain why this abstract is not totally crazy. No technical knowledge required.
