Initial Announcement
The FSF will be hosting the US's first GNU Hackers' Meeting on March
18th-21st, 2010, simultaneous with our larger LibrePlanet conference
in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The GNU Hackers' Meetings are informal meetings for GNU maintainers
and active contributors. This meeting will feature:
An introductory social event on the evening of the 18th.
A full day of GNU presentations, discussion, and hacking on the 19th.
Two days of events integrated with the LibrePlanet conference on the 20th and 21st, including opportunities for maintainers and developers to give talks on their projects to attendees.
This meeting follows in the footsteps of three previous successful
European meetings (see <http://www.gnu.org/ghm/> for a history).
They've been a great way for GNU hackers to meet each other, get
productive work done, and generate new ideas for how to improve the
overall project.
GNU maintainers and active developers can attend both the GNU Hackers'
Meeting and the rest of LibrePlanet at no charge, but RSVPs are
requested. The easiest way to RSVP for the events is to add your name
to both <http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/LibrePlanet2010> and
<http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/LibrePlanet2010/GNUHackersMeeting>. If
you'd rather that info not be public, you can also RSVP by email to
<membership@fsf.org>.
As GNU developers, your work is invaluable. If in addition to
programming skills you have some financial resources, we hope you will
support this event and the rest of the work the FSF does to support
the GNU Project by becoming a $120/year member at
<http://fsf.org/join>.
