Hardware Freedom Day (inspired by Software Freedom Day, Document Freedom Day and Geo Freedom Day) is a worldwide celebration and promotion of free and open hardware. The goal of this day is to educate the public about free and open hardware, in education, government and business.

Apple has a lot of work to do, but they just hired LegbaCore, so they should be able to improve.

Linux has a lot of work to do, to catch up to Windows. Luckily there are people like Matthew working on it.

OEMs/Intel has a lot of work to do: they should be working to build the Stateless Laptop that ITL has proposed.
