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.

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.

-<p>This month, we are featuring [[Group:DefectiveByDesign/Day_Against_DRM_2011|Day Against DRM 2011]]. The Day Against DRM is an opportunity to unite a wide range of projects, public interest organizations, web sites and individuals in an effort to raise public awareness to the danger of technology that requires users to give-up control of their computers or that restricts access to digital data and media. This year, we'll be helping individuals and groups work together to create local actions in their communities — actions will range from protesting an unfriendly hardware vendor to handing out informative fliers at local public libraries!

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>
