Hacktivism talks

Hack the democarcy with the Political Memory of la Quadrature du Net

Speaker: Bram/Laurent Peuch

The Political Memory is a tool that allow an organisation (here la Quadrature du Net) to display the voting recommendations they have sent to elected representatives (here deputies of the European parliament) on a vote (for example: voting for/against ACTA). In result the representatives get a score on how good they have followed those recommendations. This way if you think that la Quadrature du Net have the same opinions that you on saving the Internet you can see which one of your representatives are acting good.

If this kind of tool get a big adoption by similar organisations this could change how relation with politics.

Creating dynamic presentations using Inkscape and Sozi

Speaker: Jurgen Gaeremyn

We all know those static slide based presentations using one of the office suites out there. Creating a dynamic presentation allows you to show the bigger picture and the interaction between facets. If you know Prezi, you'll know what I'm talking about. Using Inkscape and the Sozi plugin, it's possible to make similar style presentations with a regular SVG-file as output. This has the great advantage that you only need a browser to watch/show the presentation.

Plan of action: 1. How to install a plugin (Sozi) in Inkscape. 2. Some basics about Inkscape (short) 3. We're going to create our own presentation - much more fun if you can play with the program yourself. So bring along your laptop!

Time: 15:35-16:25

Language: English

Prior knowledge: None

Requirements: Bring along your laptop, and have Inkscape installed (www.inkscape.org)

Open Source and Genetic code

With genetic manipulations and analysis increasing in popularity, the Open Source philosophy is facing a new battle. A battle that concerns all of us, because we all have genes, eat food and live in an interconnected environment.
