### LibrePlanet featured resource: 2013 LibrePlanet conference
Every month on LibrePlanet, we highlight one resource that is
interesting and useful -- often one that could use your help.
For this month, we are highlighting the page for the March 2013
LibrePlanet conference, a yearly gathering of the global free software
community. Visit the page to stay up-to-date on conference details and
to make suggestions for programs and speakers.

### Give freely this Cyber Monday: Introducing the 2012 Giving Guide
*From November 26th*
Holiday shopping has begun! Unfortunately, most technology gifts are
Trojan horses that will spy on their recipients, prevent them from
doing what they want with their device, or maybe even block access to
their favorite books or music.
The Free Software Foundation is proud to introduce the antidote: our
2012 Giving Guide. The Giving Guide features gifts that will not only
make your recipients jump for joy, these gifts will also protect their
user freedom.

### Join the FSF and friends in updating the Free Software Directory
*From November 29th*
Tens of thousands of people visit directory.fsf.org each month to
discover free software. Each entry in the Directory contains a wealth
of useful information, from basic category and descriptions to version
control, IRC channels, documentation, and licensing. The Free Software
Directory has been a great resource to software users over the past
decade, but it needs your help staying up-to-date with new and
exciting free software projects.
To help, join our weekly IRC meetings on Fridays. Meetings take place
in the #fsf channel on irc.gnu.org, and usually include a handful of
regulars as well as newcomers. Everyone's welcome.
The next meeting is Friday, December 7th from 2 PM to 5 PM EDT (19:00 to
22:00 UTC). Details here:

November's weekly meetings.
