#ELC2012: #Mielczarczyk's talk is wonderful. @laf0rge et al are doing extremely important work for software freedom at osmocom.org.

#ELC2012: Marcin #Mielczarczyk is giving an in depth talk about osmocom.org & FaiF #GSM. Quite brave: some of his talk surely violates DMCA

#ELC2012: #pfefferz's suggestion is a good one b/c a dumbed-down start will help the FLOSS community jump-star #FaiF replacements to blobs.

#ELC2012: #pfefferz says "we need to put proprietary blob problem in company terms" Namely, "it causes them to lose sales".

#ELC2012: #pfefferz: a good bin blob suggestion: "Ask video companies for a dumbed-down 3D driver that won't be as good as the proprietary"

#ELC2012: #pfefferz says: "ppl need to tune & hack" but suggests that we can do that & allow proprietary blobs. I don't see how that can be.

#ELC2012: I'm troubled that #pfefferz is proposing that !Linux "create official binary box interfaces"; that seems like giving up. :-/

#ELC2012: #pfefferz: "How Windows works? Blobs like to talk to blobs. Big blob tells the little blob 'You *must* write to only *this* API'".

#ELC2012: #pfefferz: " #UEFI may come in & destroy the universe. Phones may be the *only* thing we can run !Linux & hack on going forward."

#ELC2012: #pfefferz: "Binary blobs won't go away;they're multiplying & getting worse…How can we ensure sustainable open ecosystem?" he asks

#ELC2012: #pfefferz: "Binary blobs are responsible for the Linux ARM 'problem'". Makes things slow, etc. "It really is a disaster".

Bradley M. Kuhn Bradley M. Kuhn , Alison Chaiken

@alisonchaiken walks out of #pfefferz's #ELC2012 talk with a look of disgust on her face. I hope that was just b/c the audio has issues.

Bradley M. Kuhn Linux , lxoliva , Bradley M. Kuhn

#ELC2012: #pfefferz has a slide of "rants" about !Linux binary blobs, one of says "Binary blobs are unethical". @lxoliva'd love this.

Bradley M. Kuhn Linux , Bradley M. Kuhn

#ELC2012: #pfefferz: "Binary blobs cause batch-style programming" b/c you must batch questions on !Linux binary blobs to the owners.

#ELC2012: #pfefferz says "Time spent on binary blog production integration & debugging has eclipsed any other activity in the product cycle"

#ELC2012: #pfefferz: Skit volunteers are given the cookies as a reward for their acting talents. That was really amusing; Good show!

#ELC2012: #pfefferz: this interactive presentation is cool. Using skits & algebra word problems to show why binary blobs in !Linux are bad.

Bradley M. Kuhn Linux , Bradley M. Kuhn

#ELC2012: #pfefferz's The movie is actually a skit about working on binary blobs in !Linux and having them crash the kernel.
