[libreplanet-discuss] Visiting LibrePlanet from Aurora, IL - USA

[Nelson]

Hi LibrePlanet people,

My name is Nelson Marquez. I'm 22 years old. Originally from Venezuela, living 
in Illinois since September 2016.

I've been using GNU/Linux for the past two or three years. I do my best to keep 
myself up-to-date with what's going on in the FLOSS community - use FLOSS 
applications on my phone and advocate for free software when possible.

I'd love to attend LibrePlanet 2018 and for the first time, get to see Richard 
Stallman alive. I also would love to be part of other talks in the conference, 
interact with FLOSS enthusiasts like me and get 'cool' FLOSS swag, if doable. 
(Read: if pocket allows me to.)

As usual, money is an issue. I still haven't purchased flight tickets and doing 
my best to allocate funds for proceeding. I'm looking for friendly, easygoing 
hosts who would spare a couch for me since Friday March 23rd until Sunday the 
25th. (Read: I'd sleep in Friday and Saturday night only.)

As for food, I'd get by as my budget allows - no big deal. Fortunately, I've 
been a FSF member since 2016 - when I was just landing in the US and that 
entitles me for free entrance at LibrePlanet. Yay!

Looking forward to hear from any friendly person in Boston, MA.
Nelson M.
