-<p>We are living in a society where -- as mere individuals -- it
-seems out of our control and in the hands of those who have the power
-to publish and distribute information swiftly and widely, or who can
-refuse to publish or distribute information. Algorithms now sort us
-into Global databases like PRISM or ECHELON, and there are devices
-such as StingRay cell phone trackers used to categorize our every
-movement. We may build our own profiles online, but we do not have
-access to the meta-profile built by the corporate entities that our
-queries traverse as we navigate online, purchasing goods and services
-as well as logging into sites where we have accounts. The level of
-intrusion into our most private thoughts should be alarming, yet most
-fail to heed the call as they feel small, alone, and unable to defy the
-scrutiny of disapproval from the powers that govern societal norms and
-their peers. Together, we can change this.</p>
-<p>Micky will engage your mind on a journey to open an ongoing discussion
-to rediscover and reawaken your own creative thought processes.
-Together, we build a conversation that should never end as it will join
-us together transparently maintaining our freedoms, with free software
-as the foundation. Where do we find our personal power, and how do we
-use it as developers? Do we have a collective goal? Have you checked
-your social credit rating lately? Others have.</p>
+<p>The foundation for the immense success of free software was our shared
+value of enabling and maintaining end user freedom. The licenses we
+developed lowered the barrier between producers and consumers of
+software, and enable everyone to pursue their passions in collaboration
+with others. Participating in any of today's diverse wealth of free software
+communities can be immensely rewarding... and if we're doing it right, just plain fun!</p>
+<p>In this session, Bdale will offer some advice based on his experience
+having fun working on free software, punctuated with examples from his
+propensity for eventually turning all of his hobbies into free
+software projects.</p>
