Dear CTT members:

Mark your calendars: LibrePlanet 2021: Empowering Users will be held on March 20 and 21, 2021. For those of you who haven't been to the LibrePlanet conference before: expect a friendly, social, community-focused event with two days of inspiring talks and workshops from some of the most active and inspiring people in the free software community.

Participate in LibrePlanet 2021

Submit a session

Just like in 2020, LibrePlanet 2021: Empowering Users will be an online event. We're preparing to translate the enjoyment of real life interaction and catching up with everyone in the community in person to an online event in which we can create a space for people to enjoy talks, interact with other community members, exchange ideas, and get to know organizations through an exhibitor space. In the meantime, if you want to be a speaker at LibrePlanet 2021, you now just have a few more days to submit a session. Submissions will close right after this weekend, Monday at 12:00 EST (17:00 UTC).

Register for the event

Registration for the event will open soon for all attendees. Like for the previous edition, anyone will be able to watch the event online through libreplanet.org/2021. However, if you register for the conference, you will be able to enjoy an added level of participation in the event and with the free software community. For anyone who can spare a bit more, we have a special LibrePlanet 2021 gift waiting as well. Want to receive all the details? Subscribe to the LibrePlanet announcement list via libreplanet.org/2021

Volunteers are essential to help make the event a success, and this doesn't change for an online event. We can't do this without you. Tasks include moderation of IRC chat channels, coordination of program elements, writing, or just bringing us great ideas to make the event even better. If you are interested, please contact resources@fsf.org.
