Open source operating systems for phones
lang: 🇬🇧
The phones you can buy nowadays are all running proprietary software and are full with tracking that infringe on your privacy and your software freedoms. I will introduce you to some projects that aim to make usable open-source (to various degrees) operating systems for phones. How they differ, how they protect user freedoms and what makes them great.

Hardware for teaching exploratory testing
The original idea comes from James Lyndsay with more recent implementation from Claudiu Draghia.
The premise of these exercises is that when analyzing/exploring a complex system under test (SUT) it is not very easy to be exercising the system and observing what happens and analyzing your own actions to figure out if you are missing something or not. The goal of all exercises is to figure out how each of them works, e.g. how each box works.
The term black-box testing is used when we have to deal with a SUT whose internals are unknown to the observer. The only way we can interact with SUT is by input values and the only feedback that we get is observing if/how SUT changes its final state. All of the examples here are designed with this in mind, hence the boxes are black in color.
The opposite term also exists: white box testing - this is when SUT internals are known to us, either via documentation or source code or schematics, something else and/or all of the above.- By Alexander Todorov

Business with free software
lang: 🇬🇧 or 🇧🇬 | 💚
If you dont build your dreams, someone will hire you to build theirs.
The free software and opensource may be free as in beer, but food costs money. We use opensource to work on closed products that we sell, and that's not a bad thing. But are really F/LOSS and selling your product for money that different concepts? Why not combine them? Not like the big companies that can afford to be opensource, but as IT experts and small companies.
If you ever think what it would like be to leave the office and start looking on your own for problems to be solved, then let's talk.
If you use free software as a tool everyday, but you are wondering what it would be like to earn a living with your hobby instead of stealing time for it, this lecture may be for you too.- By Yasen Pramatarov

Activities
What else you could do during the event.
Help OpenStreetMap
Download the "Street Complete" App to your phone and combine your city exploration with a contribution to a great open project.
This app finds missing map data in your vicinity and displays it on a map as quests. Solve each quest by visiting the location on-site and answering a simple question to update the map.
The info you enter is directly added to OpenStreetMap in your name, without the need to use another editor.
Explore the Museum
Explore the current exhibitions at the Museum of Humor and Satire featuring works by satirists and humorists from Bulgaria and around the world.
Familiarize yourself with the history of Gabrovo’s folk humor and carnival tradition. Look through the prism of mirror installations and see the reflection of the world in a different reality.
A reality where humor, irony, and satire are not the goal but the tools through which the masters of comedy ply their craft.
