LibrePlanet 2019 Call for Sessions deadline extended

LibrePlanet will take place March 23-24 in Boston, MA. The call for sessions has been extended to November 9. "LibrePlanet is defined by its combination of technical talks with non-technical sessions on free software activism, culture, and current events. These sessions are presented by community members like you, and provide some of the best ways to connect with the free software community. We are especially interested to see proposals from people who use free software or apply its values for social benefit, from academic research to community organizing, education to medicine, and the arts. It's important to us to provide sessions that are friendly to newcomers and experienced hackers alike, and we welcome presentations for kids or teens."
