About

Established July 2021, LibrePlanet Denver is a group of activists and other volunteers who advocate for the ideals of Free/Libre Software as an ethical social movement, and digital rights as a necessary means for a Free Society.
We operate in accordance with the LibrePlanet Mission Statement and Code of Conduct.


Goals

  • Unite
    • Bridge connections between Free/Libre Software activists, users, and contributors regardless of location and culture
  • Encourage
    • Welcome those new to the Free/Libre concept and help to provide guidance via education, campaigns, and events
  • Advance
    • Build and contribute to Free/Libre Software code, documentation, and design


Meetings

No meetings are currently scheduled - we will hold routine meetings once LibrePlanet Denver reaches 6 members - see the Join section below!
For now, feel free to chat on our secure IRC channel (#LibrePlanet-US-CO-DEN) on Libera.Chat (we monitor this channel daily). You may also consider attending an open house at your local hacker/maker space - denhac, or visit the Software Freedom School near Denver, Colorado.
