The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has published video from a conference on version 3 of the GPL (GPLv3) held last month, and announced plans for another GPLv3 conference in Brazil this April. Additionally, FSF founder Richard M. Stallman is scheduled to speak in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and in Torino, Italy, in March.

The FSF's video shows the “discussion draft” of GPLv3 being released in January. The FSF hopes to gather open source community feedback, before publishing a final version of the new license about a year from now. The video is available via bittorrent, here, and is encoded in Ogg Theora, a highly compressed free video encoding format from Xiph.org.

The FSF says the “Second International Conference” on GPLv3 will coincide with the International Free Software Forum 7.0, set for April. 19-22 in Porto Alegra/RS, Brazil. Additional details about that event can be found here.

Additionally, Stallman will speak on GPLv3 at a FOSS Means Business conference in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on March 16, and at an FSF Europe event in Torino, Italy, on March 18th. Additional FSF events may be listed here.
