I found these blog posts that give some indication of who will be speaking:

I'm not sure why a program hasn't been posted, that I can find anyway, a list of titles and speakers.

I didn't notice that the registration had a deadline. 45 minutes ago. Well they say they can accommodate in-person registrations if they have space. I wonder if this is more popular than LibrePlanet.

Yeah, I noticed the deadline but I didn't register. I dunno, I'd like to see titles and abstracts for talks.

FDroid is interesting enough. Not to mention that it's a pivotal moment now for them as Android is closing it's walls.

I was told by the FSF40 organizers:

"It would be fabulous if you would come by. We'll meet at 19:30 at Boston Timeout Market at 401 Park Drive, Boston MA 02215."

So! Let's go! See also #boston > 2025-10 meetup for how I updated the website to say we're going. :smile:

Also sort of related to FSF40 in an unofficial way:

Tomorrow evening. I'll be there as well.

On a side note this is using Mobilizon which is on the Fediverse. I was hoping it would have more interoperability with Mastodon. I can follow the account and boost the event. But if I reply to the event it doesn't come up as a comment. At least I don't see it yet.
