The FreedomBox Foundation and its Relationship with Debian Freedom: Out of the Box! The FreedomBox Foundation and its Relationship with Debian Bdale Garbee

Freedombox Vision A FreedomBox is a personal server running a free software operating system and applications designed to create and preserve personal privacy. Running on cheap, power-efficient plug computer servers that individuals can install in their own homes. Contribute to building privacy-respecting federated alternatives to contemporary social networks Mesh networking to augment or replace existing infrastructure. Will facilitate collaborating safely and securely with others in building social networks supporting protest, demonstration, and mobilization for political change.

Why Debian for Freedombox? An association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system Completely open volunteer organization, with an intense focus on freedom Very strong technical infrastructure Root of a very rich ecosystem of derivatives Is quite international Runs on all relevant hardware architectures “All Free Software gets packaged for Debian”

Why FreedomBox for Debian? Objectives align well with Debian's own Immense and growing public interest Demonstrate the values of Debian

The Foundation

FreedomBox Foundation Founded by Eben Moglen Board of Directors Eben Moglen Bdale Garbee Yochai Benkler Executive Director - James Vasile Technical Advisory Committee Working Groups 6

Work of the Foundation Technology User Experience Publicity and Fund-Raising Industry Relations 7

Technical Advisory Committee Bdale Garbee, chair Jacob Applebaum Sam Hartman Sascha Meinrath Rob Savoye Matt Zimmerman 8

Working Groups Teams that will design elements of our FreedomBox reference implementation .. forming now on the freedombox-discuss list Early list of possible working groups includes: Promotion and Visual Identity UI / UX / HID Network Protocols Peer Model Configuration Social and Applications Security Documentation Platform 9

Behind the Scenes : Hardware Evaluated plug servers, selected DreamPlug as initial reference implementation platform Identified and have now largely resolved source availability issues Marvell uAP user-space utilities GlobalScale modifications to u-boot Kernel patch set Only real remaining frustration is the uAP driver 10

Example: Establishing Trust OpenPGP keys are great, but how do we establish initial trust relationships? Among many ideas, one of the most promising is to take advantage of smart phone technology to facilitate initial key exchange Stefano Maffulli leading work on ManusVexo Creates QR code from fingerprint Uses camera to capture data for initial connection 11

Hardware

Initial Hardware Target DreamPlug from GlobalScale Technologies Marvell Kirkwood @ 1.2Ghz 512 MB RAM and 2 MB SPI NOR Flash for bootloader 2 GB internal microSD for kernel, root filesystem 2 x Gigabit Ethernet WIFI 802.11 b/g using Marvell uAP Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR 2 x USB 2.0, 1 x eSATA 2.0, 1 x SD socket Audio Interfaces 13

“Hackfest” in Banja Luka!

Debcamp Objectives Focused time to work collaboratively on several parallel paths, each a necessary condition for delivering a reference software implementation Assemble an initial development image Identify and integrate at least one “application” we can deliver 16

Accomplished in Banja Luka Many talks, meetings relevant to FreedomBox! User-space tools for Marvell uAP packaged Tools for building reference implementation U-boot work for the DreamPlug Work towards usable packaged kernels Discussion about and work towards selecting applications for initial images 17

Going Forward Document and communicate our work here Release initial developer images for the DreamPlug and x86 virtualization Bring together core elements of an “identity management layer” based on OpenPGP keys Select and integrate specific applications that deliver the functionality implied by our vision Periodic “releases” until we achieve “1.0” 18

How to Help? Be conscious about privacy and other freedoms in all that you do, particularly for Debian! Experiment with software and help refine the list of alternatives to cloud services referenced at http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/LeavingTheCloud Join a working group! Help us select Debian packages and determine configuration specifics to deliver on our vision Financial contributions to the Foundation are always welcome! 19
