As planned, I did my talk about the thriving fully free GNU/Linux distribution movement at yesterday's FSFE Berlin Fellowship meeting. I started with the basics of the Free Software ideal, moved on to the problematic issues concerning mainstream GNU/Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Debian and then discussed the solutions to these problems. I also had the chance to share some of my favorite fully free GNU/Linux distributions.
The interest in the topic was amazing, and the Q&A discussion after the presentation turned out to be more interesting than the presentation itself. After the event, I even managed to get my share of the FSFE's Hug A Developer campaign!

Fortunately, I had brought a microphone with me and recorded the talk including the engaging discussion afterwards. You can find the Theora/Vorbis OGV video of the talk below.
Those who prefer to only have the audio can download the Vorbis OGG of the talk as well. Both the video and audio are licensed under the free CC-BY-SA license.
If you, your friends or your organization might be interested in this topic, please note that I would love to give an improved and updated version of this presentation to any group as long as my travel expenses can be met.
While at it, I compiled a list of interesting links relevant to the talk below.
