[Freedombox-discuss] Brief overview of last night's meeting at BALug

[Stefano Maffulli]

Hello all,

Last night I was lucky enough to talk to great people at the Bay Area
Linux User Group. The group meets in a Chinese restaurant in San
Francisco’s Chinatown. Good food, nice bar (I had a Campari with Soda,
inspired by an Italian-American fellow GNU/Linux user) and great
company. There were about 20 people so we met to talk in the bar after
dinner. No fancy projectors to hook my computer to but luckily I brought
my slides with notes printed.

We had a nice conversation around privacy, hardware specs of the
DreamPlug, the status of ARM Linux, the choice of Debian and more.

I pitched the idea to start developing a mobile app to exchange private
information and OpenPGP fingerprints with the FreedomBox and got at
least one person interested in going to the Hackaton in Mountain View
this weekend.

If you’re interested to go there let me know.
