It is now called Libre Learn Lab and will be hosted at MIT's Sloan School of Management on Oct 8th & 9th, 2016. This year's theme is "From Play to Policy" which we think will bring in great sessions, workshops and panels. Check out the new website! <a href="http://www.librelearnlab.org" target="_blank">www.librelearnlab.org </a> "Libre Learn Lab is a binannual two-day summit at the Tang Center in the Sloan School of Management at MIT in Boston, Massachusetts on October 8th and 9th 2016 for people who create and implement freely licensed resources for education, bringing together educators, policy experts, software developers, hardware hackers, and activists to share best practices and address the challenges of widespread adoption of these resources in education."Feel free to reach out to Mariah through this email address for any correspondence about the event. 3 important things to note: 1.
