The [http://freedomboxfoundation.org FreedomBox Foundation] is an open source project (separate from the [[FreeNetworkFoundation|Free Network Foundation]]) to develop an interface and software stack based on Debian (GNU/Linux) to run on plug computers owned by individuals to return control and ownership of data and logs to the users. The project may or may not specify and sell specific hardware; the FreedomBox concept applies to any low power, long-running personal server providing network and social services operating from a user's premises. The FNF would like to integrate individuals' FreedomBoxes as edge devices of the free network, meshing with or (even serving as) [[FreedomNode|FreedomNodes]]) and providing connectivity to end user devices (laptops, phones, etc). The functionality of FreedomBox and FreedomNode could overlap and be served by a single device in many situations; in others having a distinct "building-scope" Node and several "individual-scope" Boxes would make more sense. "FreedomBox" is sometimes abbreviated to "'''FBx'''".
