+# FreedomBox at work
+
+[[!meta date="2012-11-23"]]
+[[!tag talk debian fb hb]]
+
+Today Friday November 23rd I gave a talk at the Kaospilot University
+in Ã…rhus about FreedomBox.
+
+Kaospilot University is a business and design school - and a dear and
+long time client of mine.
+
+The FreedomBox is a project to help non-geeks care about their personal
+privacy when online, same ways as geeks have practiced for more than a
+decade.
+
+The project is exciting in that is frames a common dream among lots of
+hackers and therefore sparks new innovation and renewed commitment.
+
+The goal is frustrating to tackle, because us hackers most often solve
+problems close to ourselves (a.k.a. is driven by "an itch to scratch"),
+and only very few of us are interface designers, which are crucially
+needed to make things usable for non-geeks.
+
+The digital infrastructure at Kaospilot University - Homebase - shares
+some if the same ideals of FreedomBox: Privacy-aware tools,
+Independence from providers, use of open standards and data formats.
