Dear Ruben Safir,
**The registration for the sixteenth edition of the Free Software Foundation's (FSF) annual conference [LibrePlanet][1] is open.**
[1]: https://libreplanet.org/2024/
We were delighted to see several people email us preemptively and ask where they could register to attend [LibrePlanet 2024: Cultivating Community][1]. Since we're as excited about the next edition of LibrePlanet as you are, we're opening registration today.
Starting now, you may:
* [register to the in-person event][2] or * [register to the online event][3].
LibrePlanet will be held on a weekend in March, 2024, in the Boston area, MA, USA as well as online. The exact date and location will be announced soon.
Students and FSF associate members attend LibrePlanet gratis. Not an associate member? [Join today][8] for $10 per month ($5 for students), or register for LibrePlanet at our non-member rate (details below). If you become an associate member, you help us organize events like LibrePlanet as well as support us in [advocating for your user rights][6]. Furthermore, you can enjoy all the [benefits][7] that we grant our associate members.
Registration helps us prepare for the event. In return for your advanced registration, we will give a small token of our appreciation at a couple of different tiers:
* **In-person Participant: enter at no cost as an associate member or opt to pay the regular price.**
Come to Boston and experience the unmatched in-person conference feeling. The event will be in the Boston area, and the exact venue will be announced soon. Meet friends, both old and new; sit next to interesting people in the audience; and chat casually with fellow advocates during coffee breaks.
*Note that COVID-19 is still an issue that we take very seriously in organizing an in-person conference, so please read the event's [COVID-19 Policy][9] carefully.*
The "Online Participant" level grants you general access to the online edition of LibrePlanet, and registration is gratis. As always, anyone can attend the online edition of LibrePlanet. We will broadcast the event via a fully free software livestream on [libreplanet.org/conference][11]. Everyone will be able to join the discussion via the general #libreplanet IRC channel on Libera.Chat, as well as via room-specific IRC channels. Registration helps us plan the amount of server space we need, and it is useful to know expected participation numbers as we reach out to prospective volunteers for things like moderation. It also ensures you won't be left out of any important communications about the event. [Register to the online person event now.][3]
* **Online Supporter: a small contribution goes a long way.**
Help us with the expenses we incur in bringing a spectacular event to the community both online and in person by contributing financially when attending online. Even the online part of a conference has organizational expenses, such as facilitating our fully free streaming setup. [Registration at the Supporter level][3] starts at $25 during early bird registration, which will last until March 1, 2024 and $50 after this date. To thank you for investing in the FSF and LibrePlanet, you will receive a digital registration badge that you can share on your personal blog, or on social media.
* **Stalwart: your financial support helps us create a memorable event.**
No matter if you attend online or in person, your additional financial support helps us create a memorable event for many people all over the globe. With your contribution, you fund essentials like our fully free servers, gratis admission for students, and refreshments for attendees. And you make it possible for us to devote the substantial amount of time necessary to organize everything -- an effort which is nearly year-round. Individuals can pay $200 ($150 early registration until March 1, 2024), and corporate attendees get access at $500 ($400 early registration until March 1, 2024). For [supporting the event at this higher level][3], you receive all the previously mentioned perks, as well as our specially designed and ethically manufactured LibrePlanet T-shirt *and* a souvenir USB drive with videos from the event, so you can look back at them in the future and share them with your community. You'll also have the option to get an hour of free licensing consultation in 2024, or advice in another field where we might be able to help.
Join [keynote][12] David Wilson from [System Crafters][13] in presenting at LibrePlanet. Hurry up to [submit][14] your talk, workshop, or panel idea to the [Call for Sessions][15], which will close on October 25, 12:00 EDT (16:00 UTC). All you need to submit is a talk title, an abstract, and (optionally) a biography. Come to our [Call for Sessions office hour][16] on October 19, 13:00 to 14:00 EDT (17:00 - 18:00 UTC) if you have questions or if you're looking for inspiration. All you need to do is enter the #libreplanet channel of the [Libera.Chat][17] IRC network and ask your questions.
## Nominate those who inspire you for a Free Software Award
[Nominate][18] those who inspire you for:
* The [Award for the Advancement of Free Software][19]; * The [Award for Projects of Social Benefit][20]; or * The [Award for Outstanding New Free Software Contributor][21].
The deadline for nominations is November 21 at 23:59 EST (04:59 UTC).
## Sponsoring and exhibitors
Does your company or organization want to be at the nexus of ethical technology, a vibrant community, and the future generation of free software specialists? Then [sponsor LibrePlanet or become an exhibitor][22]. Early bird pricing for exhibitors is happening now, and will be available until February 8, 2024. Nonprofits and individual projects are eligible for a discounted exhibitors price.

## Volunteer remotely or in person
We are looking for volunteers who can either support us on-site or online. We'll be looking for people who can help us with moderation, room monitoring, and other important tasks that make the event possible. Your help makes LibrePlanet an even greater success, and while volunteering you can learn from others and thereby further refine your organizational or technical skills.
