-# Vision
+# Concept
- * Eben Mogen
+ * Aim: Move logfiles of internet activities physically home
+ * Put freedom-enabling technologies in a small low-power box
+
+# History
+
+ * Eben Moglen gives targeted talk to groups within the larger Freedom movement
+ * Spring 2010: first(?) talk on freedom vs. "cloud" computing
+ * Late Spring 2010: NYU talk spawns Diaspora project
+ * Summer 2010: Talk at Debconf 10 spawns Debian FreedomBox project
+
+# Status
+
+ * Eben Moglen
+ * Consistently avoid hiliting specific projects (e.g. Diaspora) in talks
+ * February 2011: Forms FreedomBox Foundation - linking to Debian FreedomBox project
+ * Gets USD 50,000 in 5 days (aiming at 60,000) for leadership tasks
+ * Spawned Debian project
+ * Lots of ideas at mailinglist
+ * Lots of collected material at wiki - on more or less production ready code
+ * Little work on design
+ * Little work on creating actual usable snapshot
+
+# "My FreedomBox"
+
+ * Dreams
+ * Design
+ * Software
+ * Hardware
+
+# "My FreedomBox", detailed
+
+ * Dream → share and discuss them at ML, collect notes at wiki
+ * Design → guidelines - requiring least possible unification, e.g. preferrably modular
+ * Software → Debian Pure Blends
+ * Hardware → simplest possible Plug hardware (= SheevaPlug?)
+
+# "My crystalball"
+
+ * Upstream invents, implements and production-redies code
+ * Debian packages production-ready code projects
+ * FreedomBox team develops a "Freedom" Debian Pure Blend
+ * Derivative(s) cherry-picks official (and maybe unofficial) FreedomBox pieces
+ * Derivative(s) negotiate with hardware vendors
+ * Derivative(s) installs actual "Debian (un)Pure Blends install" onto box hardware
+ * Derivative(s) negotiate with distribution channels of physical boxes
+ * End-users buy FreedomBox in shop
+
