-LibrePlanet is an annual conference hosted by the [Free Software
-Foundation](https://www.fsf.org) for free software enthusiasts and
-anyone who cares about the intersection of technology and social
-justice. LibrePlanet brings 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 2020 will feature
-programming for all ages and experience levels. The theme for
-LibrePlanet 2020 is **"Free the Future"**.
+LibrePlanet is the annual conference hosted by the Free Software Foundation. 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.
 
-Many picture the future of software bringing about a dystopian world
-because of the daily encroachments on user rights. Even in our own
-homes, we are not shielded from technology companies listening to
-every word we say through their [proprietary "smart" personal
-assistants][4]. The thirst for user data gleaned through nonfree
-software and unethical network services like Amazon and Facebook seems
-to be unquenchable, and they require strong resistance.
+This year's LibrePlanet theme is **"Living Liberation"**. LibrePlanet speakers will urge people to continue to make free software part of their daily lives, one decision at a time. All of us communicate the importance of technological freedom, both in terms of educating newcomers about the crucial implications of the free software philosophy, and sustaining all those who contribute to the liberation of technology.

+All of us play a role in creating free software: developing it, distributing it, and spreading both its code and underlying message. From the beginning of the movement, and every day, users have supplanted technological oppression with empowerment. LibrePlanet 2022: **"Living Liberation,"** is an integral part of this push toward freedom.
 
-Surveillance developments are becoming more and more unsettling
-because of the use of [facial recognition by state and county
-agencies][5]. The [FBI is planning to actively monitor our social
-media activity][6] in the name of "safety." Can free software help
-defend our rights?

-Education also needs our attention. The recent introduction of
-Pearson's "Netflix of textbooks" model inhibits students' rights to
-education by digitally constraining their learning environment. With
-our 2019 [International Day Against Digital Restrictions Management
-(DRM)][7], we are exposing our rapidly diminishing authority over our
-technology, as exemplified by Pearson. Steps like these set a
-dangerous precedent for all readers, no matter their age or location.

-These are just some of the many examples that come to mind when
-contemplating the direction technology is taking us. For each new
-convenience that we gain, it seems we lose even more in the process,
-exchanging intangible but vital rights to freedom and privacy for the
-latest new gadget. But there is resistance, and it doesn't have to be
-this way. The free software community has continuously defied the
-pressure to use nonfree software and provided a means of escape. We
-are in the unique position to offer solutions to these problems by
-combining our technical abilities and educational skills with our
-ethical dedication to envision a future free from the clutches of
-nonfree software and network services that mistreat their users. In
-short, 2020 will be the year we **"Free the Future."**
