These are events that the FSF or GNU project has sponsored, or events
of interest to the Free Software Movement.  If we listed every such
event, the list would be far too long.  However, if we have
interesting materials from a particular event (such recordings,
transcripts, and pictures), we list them here, with links to the
materials.
