Below are some of the presentations that I plan to give or have given, in reverse chronological order. I also include some selected posts, articles, papers, and books that I wrote or where I'm quoted; I originally didn't do that, but including them turns out to be convenient. Dates are in ISO 8601 date format (YYYY-MM-DD).
Generally I talk about security / software assurance, free-libre / open source software (FLOSS or OSS/FS), open standards, software innovations, various specialized areas of computer technology, or some combination. I post many of my presentations on my website. I'm available for a few speaking engagements each year; I limit the number of trips away from the Washington, DC area, but I do travel if it's important/interesting. Contact me if you'd like me to speak at your event. You can also see more information about me and my Credly list of my digital badges/awards.

| 2008-02-11 | Open Source Software and the DoD | Data & Analysis Center for Software (DACS) series. "Open source software (OSS) has become widespread, but there are many misconceptions about it - resulting in numerous missed opportunities. This presentation will clarify what OSS is (and isn't), rebut common misunderstandings about OSS, discuss the relationship of OSS and security, discuss how to find and evaluate OSS, and explain OSS licensing (including how to combine products and select a license). It will show why nearly all extant OSS is COTS software, and thus why it's illegal (as well as foolish) to ignore OSS options." |

[one was David Wheeler, who] spoke in parables to illustrate just what open standards are and why they are important for IT infrastructure security... Through this talk I began to see how base standards in hardware and software could allow vendor innovation while preventing vendor lock-in." |

Lots of people noticed this paper; Bruce Schneier even has a lengthy article about my paper, saying, "This [Trusting Trust] attack has long been part of the lore of computer security, and everyone knows that there's no defense.
