If you don’t have plans for next weekend (March 20-21), you might consider attending LibrePlanet, an annual conference held by the Free Software Foundation. Because of COVID-19, LibrePlanet is once again being held virtually this year, and there is no charge for attending. There are optional tiers of donation but you can attend all the events for free.
The FSF is the guardian of Gnu software and has published some of the most important tools and utilities that you likely use every day on your Linux (or even Mac/Windows) system. LibrePlanet is their annual conference and this year’s event will include
- A focus on “right to repair” including a presentation from iFixit founder Kyle Wiens
- A discussion on the first lawsuit filed against FOSS software for patent infringement
- An update on the FSF’s high priority projects, which is their list of what software the libre software movement needs the most
- Over 40 other talks and presentations on topics including anti-surveillance technology, hardware driver open sourcing, educational software, case studies of free software in use, and more
Visit the LibrePlanet home page to register and attend.

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.
