Free Software (Talk and Discussion)

Zoë Kooyman

This talk explores the challenges and opportunities faced by the free software movement today. It offers a broad reflection on what "freedom" means in modern computing — and why it's more relevant than ever. Touching on questions of trust, corporate co-option, licenses, and the ethics of technology, it emphasizes the role of community engagement and governance structures. With urgency and clarity, it calls on developers to think beyond code and to take responsibility for the digital world we are collectively building.
