LibrePlanet 2023
This years Free Software Foundation conference is back in Boston as an in person conference, however talks will still be streamed online. It will run from March 18th to 19th, 2023.
This years theme is Charting the course.
I have been helping with reviewing talks for the conference, so from this I know there is a really good range of interesting talks, workshops for the event.

Open Source vs Free Software
There seems to be confusion around the terms Free software and Open Source Software.
To briefly clarify this.
The primary difference is philosophy – The free software movement says we're here doing all this because proprietary software is unethical. Wrong. Unjust.
The open source movement says we're here doing all of this because we can get technically better software.
Free software
Free software, does not simply mean the software is free as in cost, it refers to Free as in Freedom and a free software license such as the GPL [2] grants a user 4 freedoms.
- Freedom to use for any purpose
- Freedom to study the software
- Freedom to modify
- Freedom to copy and share the software with others
The freesoftware movement is also therefore about philosophy.
