TOPIC:

FreedomBox home servers solution
By design, setup and use is goal-ed to be easy and similar to installing APPS on a smart phone to federate all your devices and friends.

This Pure Debian project has matured with a thriving forum.
Besides buying the commercial version you can also try out a similar image of the FreedomBox OS on your own repurposed hardware.

My talk will strive to give you a feel for what starting out as FreedomBox Pioneer could look like.

We will need to brush up on GnuGPG to create our own dynamic certificates.

Those at the last meeting asked me to look into this. The advanced tools have potential for online meetings and collaborations.

Hope to see you at meeting.
Thanks
Mel
