The LibrePlanet Conference was held March 19th-21st in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the Harvard University Science Center.

Please remember that this event is focused on free software, not open source. We have a set of guidelines for speakers, but we ask everyone to be mindful of the power of words and the importance of framing the issues being discussed and worked on in the best possible terms.
