<h3>Libreboot: free your BIOS today</h3>

- <p>Libreboot is free boot firmware, based on the coreboot project, intended as a free BIOS/UEFI replacement for your computer. The project was started to spearhead a campaign for a fully free system, where every piece of software in the machine is free.</p>
+ <p>Libreboot is a free (libre) BIOS/UEFI replacement for your computer. Based on coreboot, the aim is to distribute low-level boot firmware that is 100% free software. The project is aimed at users, attempting to make coreboot as easy to use as possible.</p>
+ <p>The work done by the libreboot project (and it's upstream, coreboot) is extremely important. Many people are using a free operating system, but most of them are relying on proprietary boot firmware to start their machine. Libreboot exists to provide a distribution of coreboot that is entirely free software, with the same goals as the GNU project and others in providing users the means to achieve freedom in their computing.</p>
+ <p>This talk goes into detail about the history of libreboot, how the project is run, how libreboot works and ways in which you can begin using libreboot today. The project is also in need of contributors; part of the talk will go into detail on this.</p>

+ <p>The free software movement has twin goals: promoting access to software through users' freedom to share, and empowering users by giving them control over their technology. For all our movement's success, we have been much more successful at the former. I will use data from free software and from several related movements to explain why promoting empowerment is systematically more difficult than promoting access and I will explore how our movement might address the second challenge in the future.</p>

<p>Free software and journalism have a long and rich history of informing one another and the Web at large. These communities share many values: transparency, objectivity, skepticism, and dogged pursuit of solutions, particularly ones that help improve our understanding of and access to the world. We'll talk about what these values look like in newsrooms (including the coding side of news) and where there are opportunities for these groups to learn from and reinforce these common values. Journalism drives a huge portion of what we read on the Web, so let's chat about the values that drive both that reporting and development work.</p>
