Snowden Keynote

Great talk, thanks for sharing! Also good to see the technical quality being so much better than before. I think Libreplanet is a wonderful opportunity to expose people to the free software movement.

Thanks, that was interesting, to say the least. It made me try again with Jitsi, and it does work more than well once the basics are clear, and the expectations of "plug and play" are gone.

To clarify, it's not as simple as installing Skype and run it, but not much harder ONCE you know what to do:
- don't get Jitsi from the repo because it's too old, get the latest version (https://jitsi.org/). Compile or get the Package
- create an XMPP account from Jitsi (you can think of it as some kind of email account, using Magic Banana's explanantion)
- do the same thing on the other computer (not necessarily GNU:Linux powered).

From there, even desktop sharing works quite well (though I advise you to wait for the desktop sharing to connect, I mean wait for the remote screen to be displayed before allowing remote control). Goodbye Teamviewer and Skype.

Man, I even want to try it at work.

Back to the talk: I found interesting/surprising that he defended proprietary software (in a limited way I assume). Also, everything about libre hardware and infrastructures was definitely interesting.
