GPLv3 Launch at MIT
by admin
January 12, 2006
The launch event for the first draft of the GNU General Public License version 3 will be at MIT in Cambridge, MA, USA, on January 16-17, 2006.
For more information, see the registration page [ http://web.mit.edu/conferences/www/software/sf_info.html ].
We have arranged for discount hotel rates to be available for both nights of the conference for people booking rooms at the Hotel@MIT or the Hyatt Regency Cambridge on or before Friday, December 23rd. Take advantage of this rate here [ https://www.lindentravel.com/exclusiveltb/softwarefreedom.html ].
If you are interested in sharing a hotel room and its cost with another free software supporter, please let us know at <housing@fsf.org>. Most hotel rooms have two Queen beds and the standard price for a room starts at $129. Splitting this cost 50/50 would then be $64.50/person.
While Boston can be an expensive city, hostels can provide decent arrangements for those on tight budgets. There is one such hostel located not too far from the conference and fully accessible by the subway system: http://www.bostonhostel.org/index.htm.
