+		<description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox&quot;&gt;Freedombox
+project&lt;/a&gt; is working on providing the software and hardware for
+making it easy for non-technical people to host their data and
+communication at home, and being able to communicate with their
+friends and family encrypted and away from prying eyes.  It has been
+going on for a while, and is slowly progressing towards a new test
+release (0.2).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;And what day could be better than the Pi day to announce that the
+new version will provide &quot;hard drive&quot; / SD card / USB stick images for
+Dreamplug, Raspberry Pi and VirtualBox (or any other virtualization
+system), and can also be installed using a Debian installer preseed
+file.  The Debian based Freedombox is now based on Debian Jessie,
+where most of the needed packages used are already present.  Only one,
+the freedombox-setup package, is missing.  To try to build your own
+boot image to test the current status, fetch the freedom-maker scripts
+and build using
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/vmdebootstrap&quot;&gt;vmdebootstrap&lt;/a&gt;
+with a user with sudo access to become root:
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+git clone http://anonscm.debian.org/git/freedombox/freedom-maker.git \
+  freedom-maker
+sudo apt-get install git vmdebootstrap mercurial python-docutils \
+  mktorrent extlinux virtualbox qemu-user-static binfmt-support \
+  u-boot-tools
+make -C freedom-maker dreamplug-image raspberry-image virtualbox-image
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Root access is needed to run debootstrap and mount loopback
+devices.  See the README for more details on the build. If you do not
+want all three images, trim the make line.  But note that thanks to &lt;a
+href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/741407&quot;&gt;a race condition in
+vmdebootstrap&lt;/a&gt;, the build might fail without the patch to the
+kpartx call.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you instead want to install using a Debian CD and the preseed
+method, boot a Debian Wheezy ISO and use this boot argument to load
+the preseed values:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+url=&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-jessie.dat&quot;&gt;http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-jessie.dat&lt;/a&gt;
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;But note that due to &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/740673&quot;&gt;a
+recently introduced bug in apt in Jessie&lt;/a&gt;, the installer will
+currently hang while setting up APT sources.  Killing the
+&#39;&lt;tt&gt;apt-cdrom ident&lt;/tt&gt;&#39; process when it hang a few times during the
+installation will get the installation going.  This affect all
+installations in Jessie, and I expect it will be fixed soon.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+Give it a go and let us know how it goes on the mailing list, and help
+us get the new release published. :) Please join us on
+&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org:6667/%23freedombox&quot;&gt;IRC (#freedombox on
+irc.debian.org)&lt;/a&gt; and
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss&quot;&gt;the
+mailing list&lt;/a&gt; if you want to help make this vision come true.&lt;/p&gt;

 		<description>&lt;p&gt;On larger sites, it is useful to use a dedicated storage server for
 storing user home directories and data.  The design for handling this
 in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, is
