LibrePlanet

Dear LWN,

LibrePlanet is less than a month away, on March 21st and
22nd. We're working hard to prepare the most memorable conference
possible, along with our partners at [MIT's Student Information
Processing Board (SIPB)](https://sipb.mit.edu/). More people are
registering every day, and we'd love for you to be one of them!

**[Register now to join the free software community at
  LibrePlanet 2015.](https://libreplanet.org/2015/registration)**

If you register before Monday, March 9th, you'll be able to pick
up a spiffy LibrePlanet 2015 t-shirt. And don't forget that FSF
members[1] get gratis admission—and help support free 
software year-round!

Read on if you'd like more information about volunteering, child
care reimbursements, the program, the LibrePlanet email
discussion list, or participating remotely.

### Volunteering (get gratis admission!)

Volunteers are crucial to LibrePlanet, and we need more to make
this year awesome. Give two hours or more of your time and you'll
get gratis admission, a LibrePlanet t-shirt, and lunch. You'll
choose from a wide variety of tasks including A/V and
livestreaming management, visitor services, and speaker support.
Get started by telling us your skills and interests through the
quick volunteer application.[2]

### Child care reimbursements

We're happy to offer childcare reimbursements, so that you can
come to LibrePlanet even if you've got young hackers at home. To
apply or find out more, contact <campaigns@fsf.org> no later than
Friday, March 6th.

### Program

The program is up[3], so you can start thinking about which
sessions you'd like to attend. This year's conference will be jam
packed with great talks like "Fighting surveillance with a free,
distributed, and federated net," "Style or substance? Free
software is totally the 80's," and "Free software at the African
Institute for Mathematical Sciences." Make sure you check out the
social events, including the Friday night 30th Anniversary Open
House—check the website for more details.

### LibrePlanet starts on the list

Looking to coordinate travel with other LibrePlanet attendees?
Brainstorm ideas for lightning talks? Organize a get-together
after the conference? Join the libreplanet-discuss[4] email list
to connect with other LibrePlanet attendees. The list is active
year-round as part of the libreplanet.org[5] community.

### Participating remotely

Even if you can't make it to Cambridge, you can still participate
in LibrePlanet! We'll be livestreaming the conference and hosting
an online discussion in real time, then posting all the session
recordings online after the conference. Bookmark the remote
participation page now: libreplanet.org/2015/live.[6]

That's all for now! Hope to see you at LibrePlanet.
