I think the Hardware Freedom people ought to talk more with the Software Freedom people!

Are any of you celebrating? One idea is to have people test if their wi-fi, ethernet card, or bluetooth is Free, by booting from the (9th April, 2017) ISO image of Trisquel 8 Flidas:
A very good cause, and I hope the day offers a chance for the issue of hardware freedom to be brought to light. I unfortunately am limited in my ability to participate, but nonetheless believe it is worthy of support.
That said, are you aware that testing wi-fi/ethernet/bluetooth freedom is an issue of firmware, belonging to software rather than hardware? It's certainly not an unworthy issue- if anything, it's probably more important, since the benefits of true hardware freedom are still less tangible than those of free firmware, but it is something to note nonetheless.
In any case, best wishes to those involved in events for the day, and may freedom in all forms be the future.
