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>

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.
