Gregory's ServerLet's get rid of all the binary blobs. In S01E02 of the NGI0 podcast we talk to @janneke, founder of GNU Mes. The project helped to significantly reduce the number & size of binary seeds used in the bootstrap of GNU Guix 1.0.
He talks about working on GNU Mes, its community, NGI0 funding & calls for a 5th freedom: freedom 4. The freedom to build a program from source. "If you can't build a binary from source, how would you exercise freedom 0?"

@khleedril @janneke Your remark made me realize I forgot to mention Janneke in the post. I've corrected that now with an edit. |
@NGIZero I would be more concerned with exercising freedom 1: to study and modify the program. But to me this itself implies the new freedom 4, hence 4 is not needed.
