LibrePlanet Mission Statement
Our mission: to further free software for a free society
The LibrePlanet project exists to build a global network of activists working together to further the ideals of software freedom and related issues as necessary means for a free society.
What we do
Our primary activity is organizing local teams by geographical region to contributing to the advancement of free society, by promoting free software ideals. LibrePlanet will work to provide the infrastructure, necessary tools and resources, to help free software enthusiasts organize into teams working together to advocate and contribute to free software.
History
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.
