+% FreedomBox and Edge - Privacy in the European Parliament
+% Jonas Smedegaard
+% Brussels, Belgium, November 7th, 2012
+
+# Overview
+
+ * State of the net
+ * FreedomBox can change the game
+ * Edge-in-a-box is FreedomBox?
+ * Where to go from here - and how...
+
+# Background: Big business stole our birth right
+
+ * Internet was designed for equal peers
+ * Microsoft applied client-server logic on top
+ * Big corporates now control your data
+
+# Background alternate: Privacy getting out of fashion
+
+ * Equality → society makes "privacy" as human right
+ * Individuality at least cost → mass customization
+
+# Problem: selling your sole and being a snitch
+
+There is no such thing as a free lunch: **You** are the product!
+
+ * Phone calls, friendships, photos
+ * Opinions, interests, activities
+
+# Bigger problem: data mining becomes minefields
+
+ * big data → knowledge → power
+ * Power corrupts!
+
+# Solution: FreedomBox - your personal agent
+
+ * spies on yourself (to improve user experience)
+ * masquerades as you towards central services (to limit exposure)
+ * obeys only you (or else simply unplug and reset)
+
+# FreedomBox developers: hackers in different fields
+
+# FreedomBox concept: a small cheap simple-to-use box
+
+# FreedomBox use: a boring server
+
+ * machine operated by other machines
+
+# Edge in the European Parliament
+
+ * machine operated by its human owner (and other machines)
+
+# FreedomBox in the European Parliament
+
+ * safety box for backups and exchange of private data
+ * translator for odd data resources (e.g. email and calendaring)
+ * host for publishing own data
+ * --escape route for censored chinese and syrians--
