Dear Felipe Correa da Silva Sanches,
LibrePlanet 2017 closed Sunday, March 26th with a keynote by
Sumana Harihareswara, bringing to an end two days of
presentations, workshops, hacking, conversations, and fun. More
than 400 people interested in free software joined the Free
Software Foundation (FSF) and MIT's Student Information Processing
Board (SIPB) in Cambridge, MA for the 9th annual LibrePlanet.
There is so much to share about this edition of LibrePlanet. We
wrote a few things about the first day of the conference,
which included a keynote by Kade Crockford of the American Civil
Liberties Union of Massachusetts and Richard M. Stallman
presenting the 2016 Free Software Awards. Day two brought two
more keynotes, by Cory Doctorow and Sumana Harihareswara, as well
as LibrePlanet's first birds of a feather sessions.
The conference included over fifty sessions, many of which were
recorded and are being posted on media.libreplanet.org, an
instance of GNU MediaGoblin the FSF uses to host videos and
photos. You can already watch videos from the conference,
and more will be added over the next few days.
Over the course of the weekend, we microblogged from our
GNU social and Twitter accounts. Conference attendees
and people who watched the livestream and participated remotely
over IRC kept up an active conversation, which you can check out
with the #LibrePlanet tag on GNU social and Twitter.
We hope to see you at LibrePlanet 2018!
Happy hacking,
LibrePlanet 2017 Organizing Team
