Open-Source Exploitation - David Whitney - NDC London 2024

Abstract

In this session we’ll do a deep dive into the history of open-source software, it’s ethical issues in the modern, hyper-capitalised development landscape, and how we can survive, as humans in a world where the hobbyist computer clubs of the early microcomputing era founded practices that are being weaponised against the individual in the 2020s.

A vital, rollercoaster session about something that effects the livelihood of every developer - and is about finding the humanity in the centre of our software.
