@fsf Really was a fantastic talk, but I think the title and blurb about it is under-selling it. The talk isn't about education, that's just the stage; it's really about a humanistic approach to thinking about technology that I think would be good for reaching people who can't code and so the FS movement has had a hard time reaching.
