LibrePlanet 2022

I have decided to post this here on my blog, rather than in the beach hut as it should have more reach here.
LibrePlanet 2022
LibrePlanet is the Free Software Foundations [1] annual conference to celebrate and promote free software. In this context free software is defined as software that affords the user the four freedoms to : Use, Modify,share and improve the software. [2]
This year's LibrePlanet theme is “Living Liberation” [3]. LibrePlanet speakers will urge people to continue to make free software part of their daily lives, one decision at a time. The conference will be online over the weekend of March 19th and 20th 2022.
Moving to free software is not always easy, not all hardware is freedom friendly, but this can be worked around until a user can buy free software respecting hardware However there is a lot of really capable software out there that can help is achieve everyday tasks, be this at hone, work, study or elsewhere. So we can make a good start using software such as Firefox [4], Thunderbird [5] and LibreOffice [6].
There are devices such PinePhone, PineTab, [7] that run free software. So lots out there and lots to discuss.
March 19th & 20th 2022

Libreplanet 2022 planning
I am part of the FSF Libreplanet planning committee. We had a really productive brainstorming session on Tuesday via Big Blue Button, with a 2nd on Friday.
The theme for LibrePlanet 2022 is living liberation. All good stuff.

Warzone 2100 4.0
Just spotted this on the Techrights irc channel. Warzone 2100 4.0 has been released. I have not played this much, but when i have I feel that it is a really nice game. Gaming on Linux
On a related note, there was a really good talk on GPU architecture at Libreplanet back in March from Alyssa Rosenzweig called Does your GPU work with free graphics drivers? which may be worth catching up if you are interested ensuring all your hardware is freedom respecting, there are some excellent options out there now.
