Dear Free Software Supporter,

This year, we set out to make another one-of-a-kind experience out of
the third weekend in March. LibrePlanet 2022: "Living Liberation" was
a resounding success. Participants socialized using our online
conference space, LibreAdventure, and created beautiful things in
Minetest. Stalwart and Supporter level attendees joined the
LibrePlanet after-party with staff and board members, which was a
blast. Both [Saturday][1] and [Sunday][2] featured a wide range of
speakers covering how nearly every topic you can think of relates to
one common concept: free software.

## This year's videos

This year, we have been working hard to get the videos published
closer to the event, and this time, we managed within a week! The
LibrePlanet 2022 program page has links to all recorded videos, audio,
and accompanying slides. You can watch them on [MediaGoblin][3], in
the LibrePlanet archives, and on the FSF's [PeerTube][4] channel.

This year's LibrePlanet consisted of three video streams and
conference tracks running simultaneously, and was conducted, recorded,
and livestreamed with a free "as in freedom" software stack, down to
the BIOS level.

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) team have put our heads together
and have selected a few of our favorites from this year's LibrePlanet
program for you to start with, brought to you in a format free from
[Digital Restrictions Management (DRM)][5] and unencumbered by
[software patents][6].

## Our picks

The following are some of the talks that were highlighted by FSF
staff. That said, if we were to give you all sessions that were
flagged as favorites, we would just list them all, so our advice is to
take time to watch all the amazing talks and speakers that joined us
for the conference.

* [Anjandev Momi][7] gave us an overview of Sxmo, a simple and
hackable interface for mobile phones running free operating systems.

* [Greta Goetz][8], whose talk introduced ways to counteract "dark
patterns" and digital tracking by countering them with design
approaches that promote digital freedom.

* [Hundred Rabbits][9], our Sunday keynote, who shared with us
their experiences of using and writing free software, and joined the
conference from "Pino," their trusty houseboat.

* [Marleen Stikker][10], our Saturday keynote, who spoke on the need
to bring good and lasting ethical values to the Internet.

* [Manufactura Independente][11], longtime LibrePlanet speakers, gave
another interesting talk on how to use the command line for graphic
design.

* [Paul Eggert][12], winner of the 2021 Free Software Award for
[Advancement in Free Software][13], who shared with us the
ins-and-outs of his work on the timezone database, a vital component
in helping free software "run on time."

* [Protesilaos Stavrou][14], winner of the 2021 Free Software Award
for [Outstanding New Free Software Contributor][13] reflecting on
how GNU Emacs helps him live in freedom.

* [Rubén Rodríguez][15], former FSF chief technology officer, hosted a
talk about approaching his medical issues with free virtual reality
implementations.

As mentioned before, these are just a few of the interesting and
varied subjects discussed at this year's LibrePlanet. Please have a
look at the entire collection of 2022 videos and photos for hours of
viewing pleasure. And if you really can't get enough, you can scroll
down to the archives, where you can revisit the 2021 videos, photos,
and much more.

## Audio

If you prefer listening to viewing, then fire up your favorite free
podcasting app, and [listen to LibrePlanet][16]!

The audio from this year's informative and inspirational talks is now
available. We have uploaded the sessions in conjunction with an RSS
feed you can import into your favorite podcasting app or RSS reader,
enabling you to listen using a free podcast app like [AntennaPod][17]
via Android, or [gPodder][18], if you are on a desktop computer.

We're so grateful for the participation of all of our speakers and
attendees, and we hope that next year, in person or online (or both!),
-- we'll come together again to learn, discuss, debate, and celebrate
the fight for software freedom. Every new user or programmer who
adopts free software marks a victory, but we've got a long way to go
before all software is free, and we'll only reach that goal together.

We look forward to welcoming you again in 2023 -- and hopefully in
person!

In solidarity,

The LibrePlanet team
