LibrePlanet:Conference/2010

Hi! Welcome to the planning page for Libre Planet Conference 2010!

We want your input for this spring's three day free software meeting of the minds/hack-a-thon. This year we'll also be hosting a GNU Hackers Meeting and a track featuring presentations from women in free software, see increasing women's participation in free software. Plus we will have an address from our founder and Board president Richard M. Stallman.

We have space for only 250 attendees, so please register soon to secure your place! FSF members attend for free with non-members paying $60 -- so why not become a member? Everyone who attends receives a LibrePlanet 2010 t-shirt.

Why you should attend:

* Learn about the latest developments with the GNU operating system.
* Lightining talks and presentations from key free software projects
* Participate in group hacking projects or  -- bring your laptop.
* Learn about practical steps in free software advocacy.

So, if you've got something you want to hack on or a workshop you'd like to see or a presentation you would like to give, let us know!

Thursday, March 18th (Evening) -- Informal dinner and drinks among the people in town so far, and an initial introduction for GNU maintainers and developers attending the GNU Hackers Meeting.
