"FreedomBox is a joined effort of people to regain control and privacy in the digital world by dragging it into the physical. Our vision is to use free software running on cheap hardware to replace services that are not under our control. Today's cost of CPU power and network bandwidth make hosting your own services affordable. We unite the efforts of countless contributors from the free software world by building on top of Debian GNU/Linux. Our biggest contribution is to be the easy to use administration tool that takes care of otherwise challenging administrative tasks to keep your FreedomBox updated and running. If you want to join the effort of our volunteers or support the non-profit Foundation behind them - get in touch with us."
