About

LibrePlanet Denver is a group of activists and other volunteers who advocate for the ideals of Free/Libre Software as an ethical social movement, and digital rights as a necessary means for a Free Society.
We operate in accordance with the LibrePlanet Mission Statement and Code of Conduct.

Goals

Encourage
- Welcome those new to the Free/Libre concept and help to provide guidance via education, campaigns, and events
