Dear April ,
Thanks again for presenting at LibrePlanet 2014. The next LibrePlanet will
be held March 21-22, 2015 in Cambridge, MA, and the call for sessions is
open now through Sunday, November 2nd. I hope you will submit a proposal
for a talk, panel, workshop, or strategy session for LibrePlanet 2015.
If you want to run any ideas by me, or have any questions about the
application, don't hesitate to be in touch. The original email with more
details is appended below. Oh, and please pass this along to your networks
if you feel so inspired--we'd be grateful!
Looking forward to your proposals,
Libby Reinish
Campaigns Manager
LibrePlanet 2015 <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015> is coming! We're
excited to announce that next year's conference will be held *March 21-22,
2015 in Cambridge, MA*. The Free Software Foundation is teaming up with the
Student Information Processing Board at MIT once again to bring you a
conference you won't want to miss. Our Call for Sessions
<https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/call_for_sessions/> is open now, and you
can also apply to volunteer <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/volunteer/>
or exhibit <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/exhibit/> at LibrePlanet 2015.
General registration will open in October.
You've got until Sunday, November 2nd, 2014 at 19:59 EST (23:59 UTC) to submit
your proposals <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/exhibit/>. We can't wait
to see what you come up with!
This year, the theme of LibrePlanet <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015> is
"Free Software Everywhere." We're looking for talks that touch on the many
places and ways that free software is used around the world, as well as
ways to make free software ubiquitous. Think "everywhere" in the broadest
sense of the word--it's not just geography-based talks we're after. What
are some contexts where free software is thriving, and some others where it
needs a push? How have you worked to gain a stronghold for free software in
your company or community? And what about free software on all of the
myriad pieces of hardware we use, including laptops, phones, tablets, and
even coffee makers? At LibrePlanet 2015, we're taking software freedom
around the world, to outer space, and consider its role in industry,
government, academia, community organizing, and personal computing.
Should I submit a session proposal for LibrePlanet?
Yes! We encourage speakers of all experience levels to submit a proposal.
LibrePlanet is a great place for new and seasoned speakers alike. While
LibrePlanet always includes technical talks, our program also emphasizes
non-technical topics and topics that are appropriate for newcomers. We are
especially interested to see proposals from people who use free software or
apply its values for social benefit, from academic research to community
organizing, education to medicine and the arts. LibrePlanet is committed to
increasing the participation of speakers belonging to groups traditionally
underrepresented at free software conferences, including women and people
of color.
Some ideas for sessions
-
Sharing a story of how free software has been applied for social benefit
-
Tackling a threat or organizing challenge facing the free software
movement
-
Demonstrating a new and exciting piece of software or development within
an existing software project
-
Engaging youth, the future of the free software movement. We're looking
for proposals for all age groups, from young children, to high school age,
to college students
-
Thinking critically about challenges and opportunities facing the
movement, and charting a path to victory
-
Bringing a key part of free software history to life
-
Giving newcomers a way to learn about free software principles and
philosophy, and/or giving newcomers a way to start using free software in
their daily lives
At LibrePlanet, we are looking for sessions that embrace the free software
movement's ideals and also its language. For example, using "free software"
is better than using "open source".
Volunteer for LibrePlanet
LibrePlanet depends on volunteer support during the planning process all
the way through the event. We're looking for volunteers who want to help us
with the planning and preparation work for LibrePlanet. Learn more about
volunteering and sign up at LibrePlanet.org
<https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/volunteer/>.
Promotional opportunities at LibrePlanet
LibrePlanet is the perfect place to spread the word about your organization
to an inspired and engaged audience. We have two kinds of promotional
opportunities for LibrePlanet 2015: exhibit tables and sponsorships.
Exhibit tables will be located in a highly visible primary thoroughfare.
Your table and program acknowledgement will reach hundreds of software
developers, free software activists, academics, students, and computer
users. You can apply for an exhibit table at LibrePlanet.org
<https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/exhibit/> Exhibitors will be accepted on
a rolling basis until the hall fills, so apply early!
What makes LibrePlanet <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015> so special is the
amazing contributions from our speakers, exhibitors, and volunteers. We
can't wait to hear your ideas!
