   1 <p>LibrePlanet is the annual conference hosted by the <a href="https://fsf.org">Free Software
   2 Foundation</a>. LibrePlanet gathers together community
   3 activists, domain experts, and people from all walks of life to come
   4 together to discuss current issues in technology and ethics, and how
   5 free (as in freedom) software can help addressing these issues.</p>
   6 <p>Over our thirty-five years of campaigning for freedom, the Free
   7 Software Foundation has seen no end to the number of people directly
   8 inspired to make a change for themselves and for their community by
   9 free software. </p>
  10 <p>In these past months, where corporations and government failed to step
  11 up to the challenge of the novel coronavirus, we have been inspired to
  12 see people take freedom into their own hands and work for change in
  13 their communities. Inspired by its message of individual freedom and
  14 true digital rights, these individuals have empowered themselves to
  15 move away from corporate control -- and towards a future where the
  16 community, and not the profit margin, is the center of development.
  17 We're inviting everyone to come share their experiences in the free
  18 software community, and together, learn how each of us can help in
  19 user initiatives working for freedom.</p>
  20 <p>In response to the global coronavirus, LibrePlanet 2020 brought an
  21 engaging video conference to virtual attendees around the world using
  22 exclusively free software. Although free software has had its share of
  23 challenges in the last year, LibrePlanet 2021 will deliver the message
  24 at the core of free software: empowering users.</p>
