FreedomBox - scratching someone elses itch
[[!meta date="2012-11-11"]]
[[!tag talk debian blog fb]]
Today Sunday November 11th I give a talk at FSCONS in Gothenburg about
FreedomBox.
FSCONS is an annual scandinavian hacker conference, with a very friendly
attitude and atmosphere.
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.
Slides and sources for them.
