LibrePlanet: Community Portal
Some user groups already have their own websites and use LibrePlanet to collaborate with like minded activists. Other groups prefer to use this one as their main website. If you are not a member of a group, discuss with members whether you should join an existing group, or start your own.
The community portal provides information and resources useful to all user groups.
