Abstract
The Free Software movement has achieved a lot. When you are running free software yourself you enjoy all the benefits of free software, the freedoms to use, study, share, and improve the software. You are in control of your computing. When using web services the situation is different. Even when the service provider runs free software, it doesn't mean that as a user you have the same freedoms. What about privacy? How does the freedom of one user affect the freedom of another user? Who owns the data? There are a lot of questions like this. This keynote will explore how a definition of freedom for web services could look like. It's the beginning of a journey, which needs involvement of creators and operators of web services as well as the community at large. At the end we will hopefully have a definition how to guarantee people using web services the same freedom they have when running free software themselves. Cornelius is a long term FOSS enthusiast and contributor, has been on the board of KDE e.V. for nine years, half of that as its president, and works as an engineering manager for SUSE Linux."
