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:Hardware/Computers

Every month on the LibrePlanet, we highlight one resource that is interesting and useful — often one that could use your help. For this month, we are highlighting Group: Hardware/Computers. For this month, we are highlighting Group: Hardware/Computers. This set of pages talks about hardware-related freedom issues for specific computers types. Here it lists computer types that can be useful alone. For example, a GPU, though technically a computer with many processors, cannot be used without a host computer. So the GPUs will go under the Components pages instead. You are invited to help update, adopt, spread, and improve this important resource.

See our list of past featured resources here. Do you have a suggestion for next month's featured resource? Let us know at campaigns@fsf.org.

-The main activity of LibrePlanet is hosting regional teams that operate locally in accordance with the [[Mission/LibrePlanet|project mission statement]]. One example is the [[Group:Massachusetts,_USA|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 [[Form:Group|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.
