Since this meeting prior to
`Swathanthra.in`
scheduled to be held on 20th and 21st Dec 2017
by
`ICFOSS`
has significance and the FOSS
community is awaiting many talks by noted personnels, of which the talk by the CEO ,
`purism`
is of utmost
significan
t
and
FSUG is eagerly awaiting the inevitable
change to the use of fully free hardware no
t
compromising a computer user's freedom
so that when he boots he uses
`libre
boot
`
or
`
coreboot
`
and when he uses his computer OS
he uses
only free firmwares and he can be
sure that all software he use is free software.
In addition he can also be sure that the
hardware accessories he uses are also
`non-tracking`
and uses free firmwares.
