The conference will be held March 19-20, 2016, in the Boston area -- this year's theme is "Fork the System." Talks at this year's conference will touch on how free software creates the opportunity of a new path for its users, allows developers to fight the restrictions of a system dominated by proprietary software by creating free replacements, and is the foundation of a philosophy of freedom, sharing, and change.

We have a limited amount of funding to bring conference participants to LibrePlanet from all around the world.
