FreedomBoxing

The discourse on how much power states and corporations should have over communication and personal data on the Internet is intensifying. Over the last few years, both hard- and software initiatives have emerged that promise autonomy and privacy online - with decentralization as a core design principle. One of the most inspiring projects in this field is the FreedomBox - a personal server that can simply be plugged in at one's home to enable instant peer-to-peer social networking and personal data exchange. In this workshop, several FreedomBoxes will be available and demonstrated.
