Welcome to LibrePlanet, the free software wiki that anyone can edit. We have 1,743 articles in English. All Pages (Group names)

Welcome aboard to LibrePlanet!

The LibrePlanet project is a global network of free software activists and teams working together to help further the ideals of software freedom by advocating and contributing to free software.

You can help build the free software community, and it's as simple as organizing a meetup at your favorite cafe or bar.

This month's featured resource

Group:Librelocal/2026

Every month on the LibrePlanet wiki, we highlight one resource that is interesting and useful — often one that could use your help. For this month, we are highlighting Librelocal/2026. This May is LibreLocal month! The FSF invites free software supporters like you to organize an in-person community meetup in your area in May, 2026 to bring people together to swap ideas, learn from each other, and celebrate free software. You are invited to help update, adopt, spread, and improve this important resource.
