28^th of March we celebrated the DFD in the EP, where a conference took place on this occasion.

Karsten Gerloff, president of FSFE gave a speech on the subject from a historical perspective, through the evolution of books, printing until the period of eBooks. This explained to the participants how things evolved and how we all became sort of printing press with technical change.

It was a successful & surprising wake up moment for the audience…
