The LibrePlanet project is a global network of free software activists organized into teams working together to help further the ideals of free software by advocating and contributing to free software.
The main activity of LibrePlanet is hosting regional teams that operate locally in accordance with the project mission statement. One example is the Massachusetts Team which you are welcome to join if you are in the area, or check your regional page to see if there another one naer you. Local teams are just getting started on LibrePlanet so you may want to start your own.
This project began during the 2006 FSF Associate Member Meeting to help organize ways to bring free software as a movement "into the mainstream." We started by organizing the FSF members at the 2006 meeting into groups based on geography. They then brainstormed ideas for how to organize people around issues central to the free software movement, and posted those ideas on a wiki page titled after their region. You can read those ideas on the pages linked to from the 2006 Member Meeting page.
Frequent contributors: We're looking for someone who can keep track of the latest and greatest activity on this wiki and write a summary for our monthly Free Software Supporter e-mail newsletter. If you're interested in volunteering, contact campaigns@fsf.org or add to the What's New at LibrePlanet page.
Please remember that this wiki is focused on free software, not open source. Also be mindful of the power of words and the importance of framing the issues we discuss and work on in the best possible terms.
