About LibrePlanet: Charting the Course

-

LibrePlanet: Charting the Course was held both online and in-person on March 18 and 19, 2024.

-

LibrePlanet is the annual conference hosted by the Free Software Foundation (FSF). LibrePlanet provides an opportunity for community activists, domain experts, and people seeking solutions for themselves to come together in order to discuss current issues in technology and ethics.

The theme for LibrePlanet 2024 was "Charting the Course." The free software movement has produced so much more than just a set of common tools used by millions around the world. It also points the way to a freer and autonomous digital existence for all of us: one where it’s the user and not corporate monopolies that control our ways of communicating, how children are educated, and how we monitor information as crucial as our own health. Ingenuity and moral dedication are two important qualities of the free software movement, and we use these for the benefit of all. This year, LibrePlanet speakers showed ways of progressing the free software community’s understanding of new opportunities and new threats to the movement.

-

Together, we have helped ourselves and others find their freedom in the current digital landscape. Now, it’s time for us to lead the way – or chart a course – through to full digital freedom.

The theme for LibrePlanet 2023 is "Cultivating Community." The focus will be on growing the free software movement, mobilizing the grassroots, and building a stronger community. We will ask ourselves: "How can we be a welcoming community that attracts newcomers and is a lasting spiritual home to all those wonderful people who belong to it?" Speakers will show ways of effectively organizing community, increasing diversity, facilitating the participation of volunteers, and encouraging users to contribute to their favorite projects. During the conference, you can learn about free software projects that invite newcomers to participate, community platforms that enable participation, and free software that attracts new users.

For forty years, the free software movement has developed an incredible amount of fantastic software that respects the users freedom and has proven again and again that it's possible to participate in modern life without surrendering your freedom to large tech monopolies. Now, it is time to bring this message to more people and thereby set them free. Let's grow and cultivate the free software community together.
