It will be held at Chau Chow City, a restaurant in Boston's Chinatown within easy walking distance of the FSF's office. Chau Chow City has plenty of vegetarian and vegan options and a full bar. Plus, this year the Open Invention Network has graciously agreed to sponsor our meal!

Please feel free to share this with any other free software/free culture-interested folks who identify as women, whether they are attending LibrePlanet or not. Please RSVP so that we can make sure the restaurant is ready for us.
