Greetings Libre Lovers!

The 13th edition of SeaGL is about to be released! Happening NEXT
WEEK, SeaGL will be held 8a–6p on Friday and Saturday, November 7th
and 8th at the University of Washington. With four keynote speakers
and over 50 sessions, this year’s set is lined up to be the greatest
yet! Check out our program and start planning your days by visiting
https://seagl.org/schedule

As always, SeaGL is free/gratis and you may attend without identifying
yourself. However, we are making available an optional (and anonymous)
form to help us estimate attendance. Please consider letting us know
if you plan on coming via https://seagl.org/register

Also, remember that SeaGL is 100% organized and operated by
volunteers. If you’d like to take a few shifts as a room monitor or
join the team next year, please check in at the info desk in the expo
hall or fill out the form at https://seagl.org/volunteer

Finally, here are some social highlights you should be aware of:

1. If you haven’t checked our blog recently, you should know that
while TeaGL will happen both days as usual, this year we are bringing
back the tea-swap! While this message is coming late, you still have
until October 31st to sign up, so don’t delay. Read
https://seagl.org/news/2025/10/13/teagl-swap-returns for more
information.
2. Stop by the expo hall Friday afternoon while you are finishing
lunch or sipping some tea and peruse Ada’s Technical Books and Cafe at
SeaGL book sale. Some of the authors may even be presenting…
3. That’s not all for our technical bookstore friends. Join us Friday
night at Ada’s event space on Capitol Hill. Their doors will be open
at 6:30p with live jazz at 7:30p and some traditional community food
(read: pizza) will arrive at 8p. A cash bar will be available, so come
mingle until 10p. (Note, the bookstore closes at 8p, so show up early
if you didn’t find something particular at the afternoon sale.)
4. Resist Tech Monopolies will be hosting a DiscoTech workshop
Saturday afternoon. Bring your device and get ready to learn, share,
and engage with FLOSS and surveillance-free alternatives.
5. Finish off the SeaGL experience with an hour of social activities
after Saturday’s programming before heading to Big Time Brewery which
is a short walk across campus.

Alright, that’s all for now. We hope you are just as excited as we
are. See you next week!

The schedule gives room numbers but doesn't say what building
they're in. Also, I assume "at the University of Washington"
means the Seattle campus, but that should be clarified too.

No clue what "TeaGL" is, or where the "expo hall" is.

For obscure technical reasons my current desktop has no graphics system
installed, so can't run any browser that can display Javascript.

Because I'm physically disabled I can't walk long distances or travel
to Capitol Hill. Getting around the Seattle campus is theoretically
possible for me but I need to know in advance where I'm going.

I was able to bring up the website, and it says that the event is at the Husky Union Building (HUB) at the UW Seattle campus.

Hope this helps. Have a great time!
