>speeches from FSF board members Mako Hill and Henri Poole and the
>director of the FSF-backed End Software Patents campaign Ben Klemens
>who will each address this year's theme, "Tackling the Big Issues."
>They will look at the projects that will demand the Free Software
>Foundation's attention in 2008: from software patents to freedom for
>web services, from advancing free software adoption to the changing
>relations with the entertainment industry brought about by this year's
>Hollywood writers' strike.
>
>This year's meeting will also host the ceremony for the FSF's annual
>free software awards, where winners of the "Award for the Advancement
>of Free Software" and the "Award for Projects of Social Benefit" will
>be announced and recognized.  Previous winners have included community
>luminaries like Andrew Tridgell, Theo de Raadt, and All Cox and
>projects of social benefit such as the Sahana Disaster Management
>System and Wikipedia.

>The meeting will also feature practical discussion among FSF members
>and its board of directors left by FSF president Richard Stallman who,
>as part of an interactive "Members Forum" session, will discuss
>current FSF campaigns and projects.
