| The use of Linux and free software generally in embedded systems is increasing exponentially. In some ways, it's more common than not to use free software when developing new devices. Moving through the seven layers of the OSI model, this theme explores modern embedded systems, from the physical layer to the applications.

| Long ago, it was common for users to report when a system was not working. Today, we expect our administrators to discover before the users does that a system is not working properly, and we want to collect statistical data to ensure that service-level agreements requiring a 99,95% availability is being met. Nagios, Cacti, OpenNMS and Zabbix have all grown in importance during the last couple of years as a result of the increasing requirements of infrastructure monitoring, as well as the increasing complexity of the same. What does the future look like for these tools, and what are the current trends in monitoring systems? How do we scale our monitoring to thousands of machines? How do we monitor the cloud? These are all key questions we hope to address with this theme.

| Underpinning the applications we see in front of us is a complex layer of supporting libraries and applications. Gnome would not work without its corresponding library. KDE has its kdelibs. Name any free software project and find a corresponding layer of supporting libraries under it; from low level libraries like the GNU C Library to high level graphical libraries. This theme will focus on unwrapping the complex onion of supporting libraries and discover what lies beneath.

| The "FRA Law", ECHELON and Onyx all raise questions about privacy on the Internet and the necessity of darknets, onion routing via TOR, and other techniques for protecting citizens rights online. This is being amplified by the introduction of data retention directives and other means of policing the Internet. While governments are said to promote an inclusive global agenda, with the Internet as one of its key components, their actions are in many ways contradictory and seem to move more in the direction of stifling innovation and discouraging openness. What can we as citizens do to protect our rights, and how can we increase the competency of governments to make informed decisions?

| Reprep is a "rapid prototyping system that is capable of producing its own parts and can therefore be replicated easily". The philosophy of the free software movement: being able to use, share and improve software, gets a real life counterpart in the Hackerspaces, Fablab, Makerbot, Reprep and Open Source Ecology communities. Turning every citizen into a creator is a central issue of this theme, which will explore both the underlying philosophy as well as the actual means of creation.

Themes

These are the five themes that we currently have planned, or are in the process of planning, for FSCONS 2010. If you have an idea for a new theme, or want to help out with organising one of the below themes (as a coordinator or volunteer), please contact us at info@fscons.org.

Theme Description Coordinator
Embedded Linux The use of Linux and free software generally in embedded systems is increasing exponentially. In some ways, it's more common than not to use free software when developing new devices. Moving through the seven layers of the OSI model, this theme explores modern embedded systems, from the physical layer to the applications. Henrik Sandklef
Infrastructure Monitoring FSCONS 2010 Themes/Infrastructure Monitoring Jeremiah C. Foster
Core Development

More and more people use centralised services for their daily tasks. To send each other messages they use centralised social networks. Most people only use a few providers for publishing videos and pictures. When we are searching for information there is a small amount of different search engine providers. In democratic societies power is divided and distributed. The topic of this track is why we need more decentralised Free Software services and which solutions already exist.

Net Neutrality and Openness FSCONS 2010 Themes/Net Neutrality and Openness
Making the Future FSCONS 2010 Themes/Making the Future Jonas Öberg
Feminism FSCONS 2010 Themes/Feminism Serengeti, ljo
Social, cultural and political extensions

Description and better name TBA.

Stian
Ethics

How does new technology influence our moral values, and are recent developments in society on a par with contemporary values? During this theme, we will explore the multifaceted issue of contemporary ethics. Is it morally acceptable to share digital artifacts with your friends, and if it is, what does that say about the ethics of new regulations and laws seeking to criminalise or introduce harsher punishments for such actions? The theme will try to find an answer to these questions, as well as to pose the question of what is morally acceptable in todays society, and the influence of this.
