Hi all, Bellow is the e-mail from Libby Reinish, Campaigns Manager at the FSF. When Karen asked in her keynote last year at LibrePlanet who was using GNOME 3, the majority of people in the audience raised their hands. It would be great to have some GNOME-themed talks there!
Thanks, Marina -------------- Hey everyone, The Call for Sessions for LibrePlanet 2014, the annual conference of the Free Software Foundation, is now open! If you've never been to LibrePlanet before, the conference has an emphasis on activism, advocacy, and social issues connected to software freedom. We also have plenty of technical talks in the mix. http://libreplanet.org/2014 http://libreplanet.org/2014/call_for_sessions LibrePlanet also has a stated commitment to improving participation of under-represented genders and races. Last year, over 30% of our speakers were women (hope to top that this year!), and we follow the Geek Feminism guidelines for women-friendly events. We are looking for people to speak on a wide variety of topics (see below for more information)--activists, policymakers, developers, academics, and passionate free software users are all welcome to submit a proposal to the call for sessions. There will also be lightning talks at the conference for those who like to keep it short and sweet--stay tuned for more information on those as the event approaches. Applications are due Friday, November 22nd! If you have any questions about submitting a proposal or about the conference in general, please don't hesitate to be in touch. Best, Libby Reinish Campaigns Manager Free Software Foundation _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
