# GNU Hackers Meeting and LibrePlanet, Cambridge, MA, March 18th-21st

The first US GHM promises to be a great event. The origins of GNU are
well-represented by people like RMS, John Gilmore, and Rob Savoye -- but
so is the future, with newer contributors like Steven DuBois of GNU
Generation. It should be an excellent conversation!
