I don't know how RMS does it. It probably helps that he has a full-time assistance to manage everything: [0] Jeanne Rasata, Assistant to the President - http://www.fsf.org/about/staff-and-board

I'll be there, running the FSF booth. Maybe we'll get lucky and have tables near each other.

Chris, I live in Ohio but I would be interested to go this event and volunteer for a Trisquel Booth -- what would that entail and I am also able to provide some financial support for whatever the cost of setting this up will be!

I am trying to decide if I should go to this one or Libre Planet -- I think both would be very interesting events and I understand that they have different goals. But as much as I would love to go to both I think that I will only have the resources to go to one or the other. Which one do

The FSF seems to do a pretty good job with getting to conferences. I certainly notice they have a table at a lot of the conferences I've been to over the years. I'm making an assumption at the moment that we will be driving up actually. I don't know the best way to get from point a to

Definitely hit up Libre Planet before this festival. I'm pretty confident this event won't be nearly as interesting if you go (not that I've been to it). However that said it is all about the people. I met Rubén at last years Libre Planet and that was great. There are also a lot of other

Interesting. Boston is easy cheap for me to get to. I'll add it to my calendar. Can't say for certain I'll go to this since I'm already planning to attend Libre Planet. However bring it up again and let us know when the event gets closer. There are only so many conferences I can reasonably

http://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/ Thought I would post if anybody is in that area of the United States. It is not a free software event although there are lots of users who mostly use free software GNU/Linux. Slight possibility I'll go. Maybe with a booth for ThinkPenguin maybe not. If
