LibrePlanet 2016 Boston - call for proposals are open

LibrePlanet (March 19-20 in Boston, Massachusetts USA) is an annual conference for free software enthusiasts. LibrePlanet brings together software developers, policy experts, activists and computer users to learn skills, share accomplishments and face challenges to software freedom. Newcomers are always welcome, and LibrePlanet 2016 will feature programming for all ages and experience levels.

The Call for Sessions is open! You can propose an individual session, panel, or workshop now through Sunday, November 16, 2015 at 23:59 UTC. Submit your proposals here: https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/profile/create?gid=325&reset=1

LibrePlanet is defined by its combination of technical talks with non-technical sessions on free software activism, culture and current events. They are especially interested to see proposals from people who use free software or apply its values for social benefit, from academic research to community organizing, education to medicine and the arts.

OpenMRS volunteers have presented at LibrePlanet multiple times, and has previously won the Free Software Foundation Award for Projects of Social Benefit at the event!

Please consider submitting a talk for this great free software event. Hope to see some of you there!
