What topics should we bring it up? Also we have many other Linuxfests that we need to be present at. I really hope that we can coordinate volunteers to show up to these things.

To: <s...@ramkrishna.me> Greetings from LFNW! *LinuxFest Northwest 2017: The Mechanics of Freedom* LinuxFest is celebrating 18 years of service to the Free and Open Source community. Please join us by presenting at one of the largest, technically diverse, educational, and fun open source conferences in the Pacific Northwest. The conference had 1850 attendees last year, and this year promises to be even bigger. *When* May 6th and 7th, 2017 9am - 5pm *Where* Bellingham Technical College 3028 Lindbergh Avenue Bellingham, WA 98225 *Call For Presentations:* This year we’re looking for presentations around the theme ‘The Mechanics of Freedom’. Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things are becoming even more integrated in the lives of regular citizens. Along with these changes comes concern over the trade-offs between convenience and privacy. We would like to see talks that bring together pieces of this larger puzzle. *For example: Privacy in the age of relentless online tracking, How bots can help you onboard new community members, Training driverless vehicles, How the Internet of Things took down DNS* We’re looking for 60 minute and 90 minute talks. The theme is not mandatory but highly encouraged.
