     @fosdem Good luck with that. The talk description seems carefully FLOSScoded for an introduction to a new company. Whoever thought this was a good idea doesn't realise how destructive both blockchain and giving a platform to companies like Block is. Should big names leave responsible free software enthusiasts star struck? Tech is political and only naive people would allow an assault like this. Replace the talk with a 3 person discussion about why talks like this should/should not happen?
