Invited to speak

Standards bodies, universities, conferences and public meetings across six countries — on free software, Indian-language computing, net neutrality, privacy and fairness in data systems. Each entry names the institution that invited me and the room it happened in, so it can be checked against the organiser's record.

What each kind of appearance means

Kind records what the invitation asked for. Place is resolved through a fixed table of patterns, so a city is never inferred from a college name.

Kind What was asked for
Keynote 1 appearance
I opened or closed the event and set its argument.
Panel 17 appearances
A seated discussion with several voices; I answer, I do not present.
Talk 33 appearances
An invited talk on a named subject, in a session of my own.
Workshop 6 appearances
A working session — participants build, draft or test something.
Paper 3 appearances
A written submission presented to a conference or consultation.
Lecture 1 appearance
A single lecture inside somebody else's teaching programme.
Fellowship 1 appearance
A funded programme attended in full, not a single appearance.
Method How the record is kept
Place resolves through a table.
City and country come from a fixed pattern list — never from splitting a free-text string, which turns “NIT Calicut” into a country.
Artefacts are linked where they exist.
Recording, slides and write-up appear only where a public copy exists. Everything else shows the event page, which records that the event happened; the recording or the deck records what was said in it.
Month precision is stated.
Where the day was not recorded, the entry shows the month alone instead of a plausible date.
