Autonomo.us got started last year the day after the FSF members meeting with the first meeting of the Autonomo.us team. It was at that meeting that we drafted the first version what would later become the Franklin Street Statement.
We’ve come a long way and this year and we’re helping to celebrate and to plan our future by joining with the FSF to help organize a chunk of the two-day LibrePlanet conference. Unsurprisingly, our chunk will focus on issues around software freedom and network services. A good chunk of the folks that have blogged here are already confirmed their attendance.
Saturday March 21 will be more of a normal conference form and will feature a series of talks by experts on some of the key issues facing free software. Perhaps more exciting though is that on Sunday March 22 there will be an open space style conference with three tracks. One of these tracks is being organized by Autonomo.us members and will be focused on freedom for network services. We’ll raise and tackle the important questions. We’ll try to make connections, think strategically and technically, and plan next steps.
If you are interested in these issues and there is any way you can get to Boston for the conference, please consider making the trip out. There are loads of good people coming. It looks like it will be a blast and may very well be this year’s most important single event for people interested in issues of autonomy and network services.
There’s information on travel, location, hotels, and more on this web page and on this wiki page (login is required to RSVP). And please, spread the word!
