Dear David,

The first round of videos from LibrePlanet 2013 is now available for
streaming and downloading. LibrePlanet is an annual conference
sponsored and organized by the Free Software Foundation, with
LibrePlanet 2013 being the best one yet. All current associate members
of the FSF enjoy the perk of being able to attend LibrePlanet without
paying an entry fee. This year we set out to make sure LibrePlanet
featured fully functioning live video streaming using only free
software, and it was a great success. The videos are now available for
viewing in VP8/Vorbis, both free media formats, and are hosted on an
instance of GNU MediaGoblin, the social media sharing platform which
many of you helped support.

If you missed LibrePlanet this year or didn't have time to attend all
the talks, there are lots of great sessions worth watching. In total,
seven talks are included in this batch of videos. They include:

"Outreach Program for Women: Lessons in Collaboration" by Marina Zhurakhinskaya
"When Free Software isn't (Practically) Better" by Benjamin Mako Hill
"Replicant: Addressing Android Freedom Issues" by Denis Carikli
"Free Software and 3D Printing" by Aeva Palecek
"Expanding the Tent" by Beth Lynn Eicher, Jonathan Nadeau, and Deb Nicholson
"Demystifying Blender: Quick Ways to Get into 3D Graphics with Free
Software" by Bassam Kurdali
"Debian & GNU" by Stefano Zacchiroli

These videos are just from the first set of talks. In the coming
weeks, we will be posting more of the dozens of hours of footage from
talks, panels, and workshops at media.libreplanet.org. Continuing in
our theme of freedom and community production, these videos are all
freely licensed for easy sharing and remixing. Check back soon for
more.

We have already started planning LibrePlanet 2014. To make sure you
hear the details as soon as they are available, subscribe to the
mailing list.

Sincerely,

William Theaker
