Dear Free Software Supporter,

The LibrePlanet 2020 conference call for sessions deadline is almost here, and we would love to have you bring us your perspective. Help us "Free the Future" by submitting your session proposal by Wednesday, November 20th, 2019, 12:00 EST (17:00 UTC). Next week, we will close the call for proposals and begin the difficult process of deciding which talks to accept into this year's program.

You don't have to be a coder to speak at the annual conference -- LibrePlanet is defined by its combination of technical talks with non-technical sessions on free software activism, culture, and current events. We're just as interested to hear from new speakers and newcomers to free software as we are to hear from those who have been around for years.

Submit your session proposal here!

LibrePlanet is an annual conference hosted by the Free Software Foundation (FSF), for free software enthusiasts and anyone who cares about the intersection of technology and social justice. LibrePlanet brings together software developers, law and policy experts, activists, students, and computer users to learn skills, celebrate free software accomplishments, and face challenges to software freedom.

Have a look at our last call for sessions blog post to learn more about the theme and the kinds of sessions we are looking for. For more inspiration, be sure to check out the recordings of past keynotes and sessions on our MediaGoblin instance

Our last informational session to answer any questions you have about submitting a proposal for LibrePlanet will be held on November 14th, from 13:00 to 14:00 EST (18:00 - 19:00 UTC). To participate, join us in the #libreplanet Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel.

Need help traveling to LibrePlanet?

We have a limited amount of funding to bring speakers to LibrePlanet from all around the world. You can apply for travel funding in the submission form.

If you don't need support to attend, you can help us to free the future, and welcome the broadest possible audience, by making a contribution to support those who do.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].

Best,

Greg Farough
