With recent improvements to the Free Software Directory server software, editing is now easier than ever!

Join the FSF and friends on Friday, April 12th, from 3pm to 6pm EDT (20:00 to 23:00 UTC) to help improve the Free Software Directory by adding new entries and updating existing ones. We will be on IRC in the #fsf channel on freenode.

Tens of thousands of people visit directory.fsf.org each month to discover free software. Each entry in the Directory contains a wealth of useful information, from basic category and descriptions, to providing detailed info about version control, IRC channels, documentation, and licensing info that has been carefully checked by FSF staff and trained volunteers.

While the Free Software Directory has been and continues to be a great resource to the world over the past decade, it has the potential of being a resource of even greater value. But it needs your help!

If you are eager to help and you can't wait or are simply unable to make it onto IRC on Friday, our participation guide will provide you with all the information you need to get started on helping the Directory today!

The involvement and energy of the free software community make LibrePlanet what it is: brilliant and passionate people coming together around software freedom, drinking lots of coffee and forging the future of our movement. This year, we particularly appreciated your contributions to the theme of "Commit Change": a focus on making connections to other movements and building diversity within free software.

We've posted our photographs from the conference on a wiki page. If you have photos from the conference, please link to them from the page! Soon we'll also have video of the sessions hosted on our site.

To celebrate the success of the conference, we'd like to share some numbers:

• More than 150 attendees
• 35 talks, workshops and events
• 40% of sessions with at least one woman presenter (a new record for LibrePlanet!)
• 30% of speakers were women
• More than 29 hours of video
• Pretty successful live streaming in all three rooms, using only free software
• 16 lightning talks delivered by passionate attendees
• 64 LibrePlanet 2013 t-shirts sold or given to volunteers (Missed your chance to get one? Pick one up at our shop.)

If you can, please make a donation to the FSF to help us recoup the cost of the conference. If you aren't currently a member, the best way to do this is to join, because then you'll get gratis admission to the next LibrePlanet!

Last but not least, we'd like to thank all of the dedicated volunteers that made this conference possible. Much appreciation to Robert Call, Tristan Chambers, George Chriss, Ian Denhardt, Andrew Engelbrecht, Patrick Engelman, Luke Faraone, Daniel Fitzmartin, Ian Gustafson, Michael Haendler, Brendan Kidwell, Jon Littlefield, Stan Livitski, Peter Loshin, Adelaida McIntire, Emily O'Leary, Martin Owens, Ash Saraga, Jason Self, Kyle Walters and Chris Williams. It was fun and rewarding to have your help with the conference.

That's all for now! We hope that you'll join us at LibrePlanet 2014 (spoiler alert: we're going to announce the theme soon).

Nearly all GNU software is available from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/, or preferably one of its mirrors (http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html). You can use the url http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/ to be automatically redirected to a (hopefully) nearby and up-to-date mirror.

This month, we welcome Cynthia Rempel as the new maintainer of the pgccfd document and Jeffrin Jose as the new maintainer of GNU dap (in addition to already maintaining GNU trueprint, with a new release this month).

A number of GNU packages, as well as the GNU operating system as a whole, are looking for maintainers and other assistance. Please see http://www.gnu.org/server/takeaction.html#unmaint if you'd like to help. The general page on how to help GNU is at http://www.gnu.org/help/help.html. To submit new packages to the GNU operating system, see http://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.

As always, please feel free to write to me, karl@gnu.org, with any GNUish questions or suggestions for future installments.
