 <h3>About LibrePlanet: Cultivating Community</h3>
 <p>LibrePlanet: Cultivating Community will be held in March 2024 in the Boston area.</p>
-<p>LibrePlanet is the annual conference hosted by the Free Software Foundation (FSF). LibrePlanet provides an opportunity for activists, hackers, law professionals, artists, educators, students, developers, policymakers, tinkerers, and anyone looking for technology that aligns with their ideals to come together in order to discuss current issues in technology and ethics. Newcomers are always welcome. The conference features talks and workshops for all ages and experience levels.</p>
-<p>The theme for LibrePlanet 2023 is <strong>"Cultivating Community."</strong> 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. </p>
-<p>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. </p>

+The focus will be on further growing the free software
+movement, mobilizing from the grassroots, and building a
+stronger community in the process. We will ask ourselves: <em>How can we be
+a welcoming community that attracts newcomers as well as a
+lasting home to all those wonderful people who
+belong to it?</em> As always, we welcome any talk related to free
+software and fitting one of the following tracks:
+Licensing, security, community, social context, hardware,
+freedom ladder, free software documentation, free software in
+government, education, or practice, workshops, or talks that
+explore the free software concept.  In particular, 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.</p>
