Me
Me and Asia
Eben Moglen and the Cloud
- Internet was designed non-hierarchical
- Microsoft enslaved us with client-server concept
- Google and Facebook spy on us
Eben Moglen and the Cloud - solution
- Host personal data under own legal control (in your home)
- Use consumer-appealling hardware (cheap, low-power)
- Make software dead simple to use
FreedomBox: Debian Pure Blend + commercial hardware
- ✔ Eben persuades Debian to implement a "pure blend"
- Debian blends privacy best practices and services for non-geeks
- Eben persuades hardware vendors to ship with Debian blend
- Companies sell boxes with Debian blend (or rebranded fork)
Debian - the Universal Operating System
- Generic - choices are exposed to the user
- Mother of other distros (Ubuntu, BOSS, SWECHA, ...)
Customizing Debian - deriving and blending
- Deriving: hacking with your face away from Debian
- Blending: Hacking with you face towards Debian
- Debian Pure Blend: Perfection → your hacks integrated into Debian!
Making FreedomBox dead user friendly
- Nice looking web-based control panel
Making FreedomBox dead user friendly
- ~~Nice looking web-based control panel~~
- Phone handset and voice menu
- Chat bot: Your personal butler...
