Would you like to meet Eben Moglen?  Maybe talk patents with him over dinner?  Or discuss Free software with RMS?  Maybe talk to Bruce Perens or the OLPC people?  How about programming with Gene Sussman?  All on the campus of MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

You can if you make plans to attent the next membership meeting of the Free Software Foundation in Boston (approx. March 2008).

It's free and held on the weekend.  USAir has a direct flight for about $260USD round trip. The Hotel @ MIT is within warking distance -- where else can you log into wifi in your room and be asked if you want a static IP?

With less than 200 attending you'll have plenty of opportunities to talk with the people who are shaping the future.
