     Zacchirloi asks crowd: "Why is !Debian still relevant today?" & asks audience to go to the mic & say so. Pretty cool. #debconf10

     Zacchirloi's generally giving a rallying cry to tell !Debian community how awesome they are. It's the right keynote for #DebConf10, probably

     @bkuhn Define "connecting to" and "netservice". Can I get the source code to Verizon's DSL service somewhere?

     @drysdam, you probably want to take a look at autonomo.us website for a discussion of #netservices and issues surrounding them.

     @bkuhn I get what SaaS is. But what about, say, routing of network packets? That's "my computing" in some sense but can't be private.

     @drysdam, & I *do* think you should have software freedom on your ADSL router! Many do give you such freedom (often !BusyBox / !Linux based)

     @bkuhn Sorry, I'm not being clear. I mean "public" software like on a "real" router. Not the thing in my closet. Also: voting machines
