students and Free Software Foundation (FSF) associate members get
in gratis.
We also hope you'll join us for the Friday night open house at the
FSF office, here in Boston -- you can pick up your badge early to
skip the line Saturday morning (more details below).
Here's your guide to maximum enjoyment of LibrePlanet:
If you haven't seen it yet, the full conference program is now
available.
Badge pickup, registration, and coffee begin at 09:00 on Saturday at
the conference site, the Stata Center at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT), 32 Vassar Street, Cambridge, MA 02139.
Social events
You're invited to social and community events happening before
the conference and during the conference weekend. All ages are welcome
at all social events, and we strongly recommend using public
transportation.
On Friday evening, the FSF is hosting an open house at the FSF
office, 51 Franklin Street, 5th Floor, Boston, MA 02110 from 17:00
to 19:30. The FSF office is a short walk from the Downtown Crossing,
State, and Park Street MBTA stops. The FSF office is an accessible
space. We will provide beverages and light refreshments.
After the open house, all women, genderqueer, non-binary, and gender
non-conforming people interested in free software are invited to the
Welcome Dinner. This is a gratis meal with some great people in free
software -- keep an eye on the social activities page for the
details.
We'll celebrate on Saturday, March 23rd, after the Free Software
Awards, from 19:00 to 22:00, at Scholars Bistro, 25 School Street,
Boston, MA 02108, near the FSF office. All ages are welcome until
21:00. Gratis snacks will be provided, and your first drink is on
the FSF. A full dinner menu is also available for purchase. The
venue is accessible.
Prefer a quieter social space? The FSF office will be open late for
hacking and hanging out on Saturday from 19:00 to 21:30. Snacks,
beverages, and power are provided. This is an alcohol-free event.
On Sunday afternoon, during the lunch break from 12:35-13:35, we'll
be holding an FSF members meeting at the LibrePlanet site (room
TBA), where you can join other associate members to discuss
successes from the past year and what you'd like to see in the
future of the FSF. Pizza and salad will be provided. Please RSVP by 10:00 on Sunday at
https://libreplanet.org/wiki/LibrePlanet:Conference/2019/sunday_members_lunch.
On Sunday night, starting at 21:00, join us at Grendel's Den, a
Cambridge pub that is popular with local free software and free
culture folks, located at 89 Winthrop Street in Harvard Square. This
afterparty is not an official conference event, but is a standing
tradition of many years. There is elevator access upon request. Call
617-491-1160 to have someone from Grendel's assist you.

More at LibrePlanet
We're continuing our popular five-minute lightning talks by
conference attendees about their free software passions. Sign up to
give one!
We're hosting an exhibit hall for a select group of projects and
businesses in the free software world. Come by from 09:00 until
18:00 on both days of the conference to check out tables from 3NWeb,
CivicActions, FreedomBox Foundation, GNOME, MIT Libraries' Program
on Information Science, Private Internet Access, Purism,
ThinkPenguin, and the Tor Project.
You can use the #libreplanet IRC channel on freenode
(irc.freenode.org) to participate in the online discussion before,
during, and after the conference. You can also use Mumble voice
chat on the Mumble server at mumble.fsf.org. We provide these
resources, along with video streaming, so that free software
supporters who are unable to travel to the US for economic and/or
political reasons are still able to participate.
You can pre-order your LibrePlanet 2019 T-shirt until
Wednesday, March 20, at midnight EDT -- or, just wait and buy yours
at the GNU Press table at the conference!
Resources
Logistics information, including transportation, accommodations, and
restaurants, is available to make it easy for you to figure out travel
and choose lodging near the conference.
The libreplanet-discuss mailing list is great for planning
ride-shares or social events during the conference weekend, and also
for participating in the year-round conversation about free software
events and issues.
Are there two LibrePlanet sessions you want to see, and they're at
the same time? Fear not, recordings will be available after the
conference at https://media.libreplanet.org.
