+The Future Present: Reproducible Builds
+
+Free and Open Source Software is an amazing gift to the world at
+large, building and growing the commons. In the present day, some of
+the opportunities and freedoms are lost to most people. People are
+using Free and Open Source Software routinely, perhaps without even
+realizing it. But we do not generally have the freedom we were perhaps
+naively promising ourselves and others. All too much theoretically
+free software runs on black boxes, be they phones, routers, or user
+interfaces to household appliances.
+
+But let us look towards a possible future, a future perhaps even near
+to the present, where we not only have access to the source code, but
+the ability to confidently verify that the software we rely on was
+produceed from specific source code.
+
+Reproducible Builds is one way to confidently verify that a given
+artifact was produced from a given source. Numerous free software
+projects have already demonstrated the viability of Reproducible
+Builds!
+
+Come explore the question with me: in a world where Reproducible
+Builds becomes a standard best practice, or even an assumed
+requirement, what would that potential future look like?
