Since working on his first GPL enforcement effort in 1999 Kuhn has tracked and followed the state of compliance with the GPL and LGPL. Kuhn will survey the types of FLOSS compliance problems that were and are encountered, and how they have changed historically.
Much progress has been made since late 1990s, but widespread adoption of BusyBox/Linux and Android/Linux systems has led to more GPL violations than ever before (counting by sheer volume) particularly in embedded products.
Kuhn will discuss how our community can meet these challenges and improve worldwide compliance.

- Upgrading philosophy

Back by popular demand, this standing-room only talk is updated from last year and introduces participants to the concepts of IPv6 and shows how they can easily add IPv6 capabilities to their Linux Systems, even if their ISP doesn't yet support IPv6.
This talk covers all the basics including interface configuration, DNS, Web services, Email, etc. A Q&A period at the end will allow participants to get answers to their IPv6 questions.
Free and Open Source software may be largely created and maintained by passionate volunteers, but projects still need funds to pay for things like bandwidth, hardware and the all important tee-shirts. Asking for money is hard – and taking it can be a lot more complicated than you might think.
This talk covers the basics of sourcing financial support for your project. Participants in this session should walk out with the information they need to develop at least the outline of a fund-raising plan for your project.
