[Freedombox-discuss] FreedomBox tasks and metapackage

[Fioddor Superconcentrado]

I didn't know what the Blends Framework is, but I found a nice (long)
introductory video here:
https://debconf18.debconf.org/talks/42-tools-inside-blends-framework/
I find the framework useful for both transparency and management and I'm
looking forward to have Freedombox there.
