We want to |

* '''Bring people together''' who are on the front lines of free software recruitment and teaching |
|||
* '''Create new contributors''' (e.g., software development volunteers) for free software projects |
|||
* '''Create more expert users''' who are well-versed with free software and can teach others |

We're going to do this by organizing a free-of-cost event to celebrate Software Freedom Day here in the Boston area. |
