| Thursday, September 11th, 2008 -- It's Saturday and a roomful of people are 
| advising each other on modifying their mobile devices, optimizing their 
| GNU/Linux systems and organizing for software freedom. But it's not a room 
| full of experts -- at least not mostly. Artists, activists, students and 
| others want the freedom to do anything they want with their computers and  
| they're here to learn new tricks and garner shortcuts from each other.
