Or: Lies free and open source developers tell themselves about documentation. The holy grail of platform development is to write an API that is so crystal clear in its intent, and whose patterns are so obvious to newcomers and experts alike, that it achieves the hallowed status of being "self documenting". Like any other Utopian ideals, it's of course asymptotic by definition; nevertheless, software developers still try to achieve what is, in effect, a fantasy. This presentation starts by breaking the spell on documentation for software libraries, using the GNOME stack as the reference; it will outline the history of its tools, its current state after nearly 20 years of chasing a dream, and how to move forward in making the GNOME developers documentation better in the real world.

The FOSS community does not reflect the people who use technology. Only 2.3% of open-source core developers are women (Of all FOSS contributors, 5.35% are women). In a recent study in FOSS contributors, from the 105,862 developers, 0.20% were perceptible as Black, 4.14% as Hispanic, 84.26% as White. FOSS contributors from countries with lower Human Development have their Pull Requests more often rejected. We will present the Big Open Source Sibling (BOSS), a mentorship framework to onboard underrepresented groups into FOSS, focusing on both technical aspects and nontechnical aspects. The initiative, finalist on the Gnome Engagement Challenge, arises in a Brazilian context, with the understanding that there is a different context in the southern hemisphere, such as language barrier, and social/economic struggles. We introduce the mentorship program, how we address the confidence gap and impostor syndrome, two oppression collateral effects that could prevent underrepresented groups from contributing to FOSS.

4:50 PM - 5:30 PM
The GNOME Foundation exists to promote access to free personal computing software, particularly amongst those who have been typically left behind or underserved by traditional technology providers. This talk seeks to examine this mission, the reasons why personal computers are still key to personal autonomy and empowerment in the digital economy, why free software is still an essential part of that, both on an individual and a global scale, and what we should do about it as a community. What is GNOME currently doing to reach users and developers? What are we missing to make GNOME more sustainable and inclusive, and what can we do to expand our impact by scaling up both supply and demand of the software we build together?

In this presentation, we will take a deep dive into input, following a key event on its journey from it birth in the depths of the kernel, through libinput, the compositor, all the way to the client-side, where it has to brave a few more adventures before it finds its destination and turns into a visible glyph in your text entry. Along the way, we'll pass some strange and wonderful sights, from input threads and ibusses to dead keys and modifiers. This will hopefully be entertaining and educational, and give you some idea of what happens when you type something on your keyboard.

The state of GNOME OS on RISC-V
- Valentin David (Codethink)
5:40 PM - 6:05 PM
GNOME OS is bootable GNOME system built as part of continuous integration for the GNOME releases. So far, GNOME OS has been built for x86 and ARM architectures. RISC-V is a new open standard processor architecture. Some work has been done to bring GNOME OS to RISC-V. However, desktop-ready hardware is still scarce and software support only just there. Thanksfully it is possible to emulate RISC-V hardware to prepare development of GNOME OS for RISC-V. This talk will cover the effort done, show the current state of GNOME OS on RISC-V and detail the future work required.

6:05 PM - 6:30 PM
Sustainability is a topic often discussed around technology and Open-Source(OS) projects. Over the years, I have learned through research that OS communities have leaned on forking to serve as an invisible hand of sustainability, which has helped OS projects get through extreme events such as; commercial acquisitions, lawsuits and funding. What if OS communities begin to imbibe practices that go beyond traditional ways of sustaining their projects. I believe all OS communities share a common aim: to have OS projects outlive current maintainers, contributors, and members, especially if there is future intent to extend project reach to underrepresented groups. After doing tons of research, listening to podcasts and watching Ted Talks, I've streamlined my learnings to helping OS communities learn about practices that can help increase their life span and make a positive global impact.

7:40 PM - 8:20 PM
GNOME Software is the standard application for managing software on your GNOME desktop. This includes finding applications to install, updating installed applications, keeping your Operating System up-to-date, and installing firmware updates. In recent years the project has been under-resourced and suffered as a consequence. In October 2020 a multi-developer cross-company effort began to invest in maintaining GNOME Software going forward, led primarily by Endless OS Foundation and Red Hat. The goals of this effort are to improve robustness, performance, and user experience. Tobias Bernard and the GNOME Design Team have created a set of mock-ups for refreshing the UI of Software; the implementation of these will be a major goal of the 41 development cycle. Some work has already landed in the 40 release. As always, help is welcome!

Title : *Refashioning Freedom* The world is a complex and messy place, so we use shorthands and mental models to navigate - like "open source", or "free software", or "user freedom". But every shorthand leaves something out, and there are always different ways to conceptualize our work and our goals. It's important to regularly revisit these choices, to make sure they still serve us. What alternative conceptions of freedom are out there? What would our communities look like if they were oriented around these different models? What can we learn from the peoples and movements already working to bring those kinds of freedoms into the world? What are the skills and the resources, the institutions and the relationships, the tools and the concepts we need, to bring about the world we want to see?

[flatpak-external-data-checker][1] started life as a side-project at [Endless][2], notifying the team when a small number of unofficial Flatpak wrappers for third-party proprietary apps in Endless' own Flatpak repository needed attention. Three years and sixteen developers later, it checks and automatically updates [over a hundred apps on Flathub][3], many of which are free software and maintained by their upstream developers, and has a small but thriving community of contributors itself. This talk will cover how this tool grew into its present form, how it can help you maintain a Flatpak of your application, and its implications for the health of the Flathub ecosystem.

4:00 PM - 4:25 PM
One year transitioning into Tech from a Biology career path was quite interesting. More intriguing, a zeal to contribute to open source, three months in with the GNOME project as the first discovery. With a scare to contribute via code due to my experience level, I settled for engaging in the community which brought me into some interesting projects beyond code. Starting my contributions as a beginner in tech was an amazing journey and really something worth sharing because I was able to contribute beyond the code by actively helping out other beginners get involved. It took me from submitting talks about including beginners in OSS, making explanatory blog posts, tweeting about OSS, getting involved in onboarding teams to improve the process, and even having one on one calls to help out others get involved. In this talk, I will be sharing my challenges, strategies, and accomplishments so far.

Over the past few years we have laid the foundation for an ecosystem of GNOME apps that work seamlessly across form factors, from phones to desktops and everything inbetween. There are now dozens of core and third party apps using these new adaptive widgets and design patterns, and most new apps are adaptive from day one. But that's just the beginning: GTK4 is finally out, and apps are starting to move to it. This transition unlocks a whole new world of gestures, animations, and layouts that were not possible before. In this talk I'll sum up the current state of adaptive GNOME apps, demo some of the most exciting new stuff, and talk about what's in store for the future.

How to make your apps easy to use: Usability testing the simple way
- Jim Hall
7:30 PM - 8:10 PM
Your program might be easy for **you** to use, but can someone else use it just as easily? If we want people to use open source software, it has to be easy to learn and easy to use, or people will not use it. In this session, we'll learn about *usability testing* - what it is, why it's important, and how to do it. You don't need a "usability lab" to do usability testing - you don't even need to be in the same room. You can learn a lot just by watching five people use the software to do a set of tasks. We'll walk through all the steps to do your own usability test and how to understand the results so you can make your software even better.

This talk is all about type-checking GNOME projects with TypeScript, ECMAScript Modules in GJS, new technologies on the horizon, and how we can use all of this for better development and documentation. **Background** Interest in running static type analysis on dynamic languages such as JavaScript and Python has grown immensely as large, intricate applications are being built with these languages. Within GNOME, JavaScript has been used to build applications such as GNOME Maps, GNOME Weather, Foliate, and even GNOME Shell itself. TypeScript and other static type analysis tools let large and small projects catch subtle bugs faster and develop more robust codebases.

Digging into the Font-Family Plot
- Nathan Willis
3:05 PM - 3:15 PM
Ubiquitous font menus and desktop font tools focus on letting users find the font they want via generic descriptors like Bold and Italic or with numeric coding schemes like CSS's weight-and-width model. But those labels and codes don't tell you much; font A at weight=500 may look nothing like font B at weight=500. This talk will present some food for thought on an alternate approach to navigating the parameters and design variations of a font library based on intrinsic characteristics. It draws on analysis of letterform detail and normalization I conducted during my PhD studies, and features lots of colorful graphs showing what facets of design open-source fonts cover and what facets of design-space they rarely explore.
