Preparation: There are a few conference sessions, all optional of course, that you might want to prepare for:

• The Coreboot install party, where experts will help you replace your computer's BIOS with a free software version. This is only for ThinkPad X60 or T60 laptops. If you'd like to participate, please read the session's page and add your name to the list.
• Lightning talks, in which conference attendees (you!) will give five-minute talks about a free software-related topic of their choice. Prepare a talk, or make one up on the spot. Go here to learn more or sign up to talk.

Most of all, don't forget to get excited! LibrePlanet is going to be a welcoming, social environment with lots of great people that care about software freedom. Also, as previously stated, it will have the coolest t-shirt of any LibrePlanet so far.
