has a lot to offer people from different areas of expertise with
varying levels of experience in free software. Whether you're interested
in the profound social implications of software ownership, producing
and sharing media with free technologies, or harnessing your own power
over the computers around you as a hacker, you can get a lot out of
meeting fellow conference-goers and attending the talks and workshops at
LibrePlanet. </div>
