9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, thank you everyone to coming to[br]this talk.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Are you ready to start? Yeah, fabulous.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We've called it "That's a Free Software[br]Issue!"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Cause it is!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A little bit about us.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My name is Karen Sandler, I'm the executive[br]director of an organization named

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Software Freedom Conservancy.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Raise your hand if you've heard of[br]Conservancy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so, like 3/4 of the room.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We're a nonprofit charity, we're the home[br]of lots of free software projects

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like git, ???, Inkscape, ???,[br]on and on.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We're also the home of the Debian Copyright[br]Aggregation project, and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we're the home of Outreachy, which is a[br]diversity initiative that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Debian participates in and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the very shortest note about me is that[br]I have a heart condition and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm fine, but my heart is 3 times the size[br]of a normal person's heart

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I'm at a very high risk of suddenly[br]dying,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so I have a pacemaker defibrillator,[br]which is awesome, except

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I can't see the source code in my own[br]body, which is causing me to be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
really really passionate about software[br]freedom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Karen might be a cyborg, but I'm a cat[br]owner,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this is a picture of my cat, his name is[br]Bash.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My name is Molly de Blanc, I'm a free[br]software activist,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm the campaign manager for the Free[br]Software Foundation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How many people here know about the FSF?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Wow!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How many of you are members?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Still good!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Can we ask them how many are[br]Conservancy supporters?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How many of you are Conservancy[br]supporters?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Nice

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How many of you are both?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Thanks!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If anyone, since I'm a volunteer with the[br]Free Software Foundation,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm also a lawyer and I only do pro bono[br]legal work now.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But since I'm a volunteer sometimes with[br]the Free Software Foundation,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I can say that if anyone signs up to become[br]a Free Software Foundation associate member

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
during this talk, come up afterwards and[br]highfive me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I can say, since I volunteer for the[br]Conservancy,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that if you would like to become a[br]Conservancy supporter by the end

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of this presentation, I will highfive you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, in addition to those things, I'm also[br]on the board of the Open Source Initiative

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I like to think this makes me doubly[br]qualified to talk about licensing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
even though I'm less qualified than Karen[br]to talk about licensing.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You are also affiliated with all of[br]the orgs.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Yeah.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Officially, so…

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Which brings us to[br]"What is user freedom?"
