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.

Help us reach our fundraising goal of $400,000 USD by January 1, 2026. We can't protect and continue the hard work of our predecessors without your help.

This month's featured resource

Group:FSF:Tech_Team_Volunteers

For this month, we are highlighting Group: FSF:Tech Team Volunteers. The FSF tech team wants your help! The FSF Tech Team consists of two full-time staff members (plus an intern or two sometimes). Along with teams of volunteers (such as the Savannah hackers and the GNU webmasters), we maintain and improve the infrastructure and services that power the free software movement. Starting in 2023, our small team began steps to increase the number and types of tasks that we can accept volunteer help with. Whether you have a few hours a week or a few hours every couple of months, please read on and consider joining in! You are invited to help update, adopt, spread, and improve this important resource.

-|-
-| style="color:#000;padding:2px 5px 5px" | <div id="mp-dyk"><p>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.</p>
-<p>Please remember that this wiki is focused on [http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html 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 [http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html best possible terms].</p></div>
