The GNOME Conference GUADEC Core Keynote: Freedom: Reality and Illusion An external view on the quest for freedom lead by software developers and online contributors mainly through the Internet. "Freedom" is a core motivation of the GNOME project and an essential part of its software and organization. However, beyond the words and the aims, there are many aspects that involve, promote, and constrain freedom. Freedom for who? Freedom for what? Are we as free as we think? Are we helping freedom as much as we perceive? Freedom is possibly the trickiest concept philosophers have tried to deal with since the origins of Humanity. This session tries to bring some theory concepts in order to put the GNOME project in the wider context of the Internet and the society. We will discuss primarily: • Freedom on the Internet • Two main limits of freedom • A sentiment of freedom • Technology as good for liberty Norbert Bilbeny Bilbeny Born in Barcelona in 1953, Norbert Bilbeny has been Full Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Barcelona since 1980.
