Videos from the 2020 Copyleft Conference
The second annual Copyleft Conference was held on February 3 in Brussels; videos from the event have now been posted. "In his talk, Tony [Sebro] wonders whether the community around copyleft, like those around eschatology and Afro-centric hip-hop, has lost it's center and how we might entice new stakeholders to reinvest in our shared values. His keynote is a great place to start with this year's videos."
LibrePlanet 2020 videos now available online
The recordings and slides from LibrePlanet 2020, which was held online in March, have been released. "What's more, we've taken the time since the conference to smooth over some glitches or small gaps you may have experienced while watching the conference live."
