How to make your project more inclusionary
Let's talk about our projects and surroundings, and how their setup may be discrimnating.
Let's find barriers, and think about ways of to remove or bypass them.
Whether it's about your hackspace being way too white and able-bodied, your IT project being too male-dominated, or your leftist intiative somehow being very non-working class: let's find a way to figure this out and make your surroudings more diverse and equitable.
The target group for this workshop is primarily people working in/with tech, and there is no need to know sociology theories to keep up.
This talk covers the work that I have done for my master's thesis. I looked at how (in Human Computer Interaction) projects tackled different forms of discrimination not by the stuff that they created, but rather by how they went about it.
From writing proposals to deciding on which methods to use (and how), to documenting the work afterwards: there's lots of things we can do to be more inclusionary.
In this workshop, I will present a set of recommendations that I have created for the purpose of helping non-social sciences people be better in including people that are different to them (tech people still are a rather homogenous group of white, affluent, cis non-inter men). After the presentation, we will apply said recommendations to whichever projects the participants would like to -- ideally, they bring their own (with a short explanation), or we come up with some fictional setting.

This is a submission for a keynote talk at MCH2022. The Internet is both a familiar, comfortable place as well as a bottomless rabbit hole you can lose yourself in. The Internet has always been like this from its inception, the difference now is the scale and consequences are almost immeasurable - and it tests the limits of human imagination. When you look into the mirror of the Internet what you see reflected back depends on what you are looking for. It has become largely a reflection of ...

Have you ever forgotten a passphrase or lost a hardware token? Lost access to enough Bitcoin to buy a pizza or two? Encryption is fundamental to securing our liberties, but key and password management remain difficult even for professionals, let alone the general public. This talk presents Passcrow, an Open Source project attempting to address one of crypto's largest usability issues: password and key recovery in a decentralized environment.

Thanks to DNSSEC and DANE, it is possible to automatically verify user@domain.name identities by checking with domain.name servers. The real problem however, is integration with existing protocols, instead of inventing something completely new and perhaps web-only. The purpose of our work on Realm Crossover mechanisms has been to design generic solutions that extend many different application protocols, without changing their protocol specs.
