I gave a presentation about the FreedomBox at the Daten.Netz.Politik 2012 congress in Vienna, a “conference on data protection, online politics and free networks”.
See here for a summary of the talk:

(both in German)
I also had a live FreedomBox 0.1 at the conference, broadcasting a Privoxy-filtered WiFi signal which participants could use to surf the web without ads and online tracking.
