Dear Free Software Supporter,

**There are only two days left to [submit your session][1] for
[LibrePlanet 2024: Cultivating Community][2]. This also means there's
less than one week left to nominate a member or project of the free
software community for the [Free Software Awards][3]!**

We thought one last reminder just might be that last push you need to
bring pen to paper (or finger to keyboard!) and submit your session
idea, and to nominate a person or project that's important to you for
one of the three Free Software Awards.

### Call for Sessions

The [Call for Sessions][4] for [LibrePlanet 2024: Cultivating
Community][2] will close on Friday, November 17, 12:00 EST (17:00
UTC). We received fantastic submissions but are always delighted to
receive more, especially for the following tracks: licensing,
security, education, the [Freedom Ladder][5], and hardware. Please
check carefully if you actually *submitted* your session or if you
only *drafted* a submission. The LibrePlanet committee will only
review submitted sessions. [Submit now][1]!

### Free Software Awards

We are still soliciting [Free Software Award][3] nominations, which
are presented annually at LibrePlanet. Show your favorite free
software community members that you see the value in their work by
nominating them for an award in one of our [three award
categories][6]. The [Free Software Awards][3] nominations will close
on Tuesday, November 21, 23:59 EST (04:59 UTC).

### Support LibrePlanet by becoming an exhibitor or sponsor

LibrePlanet is organized by the FSF, a 501(c)(3) charity. The
conference is made possible thanks to charitable [sponsors and
exhibitors][7] who want to be at the juncture of ethical technology, a
vibrant community, and the future generation of free software
specialists. Thanks to conference sponsors, we can offer free
admission to students, a welcoming event space, social activities, and
refreshments for attendees. Support from generous sponsors also
enables LibrePlanet to run on free software infrastructure, including
livestreaming and session recordings.

Early bird pricing for exhibitors is happening now, and will be
available until February 8, 2024. Nonprofits and individual projects
are eligible for a discounted exhibitors price. Learn more in our
[sponsoring and exhibitor prospectus][6] or simply email
<[email protected]>.

We hope to see you at LibrePlanet 2024: Cultivating Community!

Sincerely,

Your LibrePlanet team
