Hi ,

We're excited to announce that registration is now open for [LibrePlanet
2013: "Commit
Change."](http://libreplanet.org/wiki/LibrePlanet:Conference/2013)

LibrePlanet is a yearly conference where the global free software
community comes together to learn from each other, face challenges and
welcome newcomers. This year, the conference focuses on bringing
together the diverse voices that have a stake in free software, from
software developers to activists, academics to computer users. The theme
is called "Commit Change," and it's about drawing ideas from everyone to
create the software freedom we need.

If you're an FSF associate member, you can [sign up
now](http://libreplanet.org/wiki/LibrePlanet:Conference/2013) at no
cost! Otherwise, we invite you to [become a

chat
server](http://www.fsf.org/blogs/membership/help-us-sign-up-71-new-members-by-january-31st-and-use-your-new-jabber-account).
You can also [attend the conference at the non-member

The conference will feature a keynote address by Karen Sandler,
executive director of the GNOME Foundation and renowned software freedom
advocate. LibrePlanet will also include workshops in using free
programs, talks and discussion panels with free software luminaries,
plentiful networking opportunities and a pre-conference social
gathering. In addition to Karen, the program includes sessions with
Stefano Zacchiroli, Project Leader at Debian, Wendy Seltzer of the W3C,
and our own Richard Stallman.

If you're interested in technology's role in struggles for justice,
community, and freedom, then you will find a lot to be excited about at
LibrePlanet. Join us at LibrePlanet 2013 and help Commit Change.
