Description:
Kids today are surrounded by proprietary technology. How can we help them not only use free software more often, but also understand *why* software freedom matters?
This talk features a father and his 10‑year‑old son sharing the options, challenges, and best practices they’ve discovered through years of setting up software‑freedom‑centered technology for younger children.
The session provides both an overview and an update following previous presentations at LibrePlanet 2023, SeaGL 2023, and FOSSY 2024. Their collected resources and notes are openly published at: https://codeberg.org/FLO-Conscience/FLO-kids
