Contents
LibrePlanet Software Groups are organized around a free software project rather than a local community. Collaboration is encouraged between LibrePlanet:Local Teams and software groups. All groups are working together for free software in accordance with the LibrePlanet project's mission statement and code of conduct.
Joining a Team
Check the team list for an interest groups that appeals to you.
Joining a software group is easy and your level of involvement is up to you. Interest groups should have instructions on how to join. You are encouraged to take initiative on any projects or ideas you have instead of waiting for permission. Learn more about how to get involved on the participation page.
Non-LibrePlanet Interest Groups
Lots of software groups which are not LibrePlanet teams are also catalogued on this wiki. You can find them through the software group category. These groups are also welcome to use the wiki as an organizing space. If you are involved with any interest groups that are not already listed, please add a page for it with the proper regional category.
Missing Teams
LibrePlanet is young and many groups still do not have pages! If there's not yet a page for a group you care about, consider creating one.

Why LibrePlanet Teams?
The tradition of computer enthusiasts and fans forming meeting groups around their shared passion is as old as the personal computer itself. Today, there are so many efforts to establish local groups around various free software projects. From GNU Linux user groups, to distribution-specific advocacy groups, to groups around programming languages, and various user and hacker groups for lots of exciting free software projects that we are grateful to have today.
The LibrePlanet wiki is here to leverage that vast network of free software communities and provide the infrastructure to catalogue them all and build a network of support around them. LibrePlanet teams aim to be widely inclusive, but still focused teams that can supplement other existing groups. Also check out the available resources and benefits.
