<p class="lead">LibrePlanet is an annual conference hosted by the <a href="https://www.fsf.org">Free Software Foundation</a> for free software enthusiasts and anyone who cares about the intersection of technology and social justice. For the past ten years, LibrePlanet has brought together software developers, law and policy experts, activists, students and computer users to learn skills, celebrate free software accomplishments, and face challenges to software freedom. Newcomers are always welcome, and LibrePlanet 2018 will feature programming for all ages and experience levels.</p>
<!--Theme paragraph.-->
-<!-- <p>This year's theme is <em>The Roots of Freedom</em>. Many talks will explore the historical roots of free software, including the Four Freedoms, copyleft through the GNU General Public License, and the rights to security and privacy. Others will focus on the movement that roots free software, and the contributions of its members to activism, the arts, education, entrepreneurship, and innovation.</p>-->
+<p>LibrePlanet's 10th anniversary theme is "Freedom. Embedded." Consider: embedded systems are everywhere, in cars, digital watches, traffic lights, and even within our bodies. Right now, proprietary software is everywhere, its sinister aspects embedded in software, digital devices, and our lives. We've come to expect that our phones monitor our activity and share that data with big companies, governments enforce digital restrictions management (DRM), and even our activity on social websites is out of our control.</p>
+
+<p>In a society reliant on embedded systems, how do we defend computer user freedom? How do we insist on copylefted code, protect ourselves against government and corporate surveillance, and move toward a freer world? For many people, digital freedom seems like a pipe dream. Can we change the narrative and make free software the norm, instead of walled gardens, denial of the right to repair, and DRM?</p>
+
+<p>Let's envision freedom embedded together.</p>
