Quoting: Join us in saying goodbye to our beloved office on August 16! —
After August 31st, we will no longer be residing at our office on 51 Franklin Street. There were many factors that lead to this decision, and while some of them were out of our control, we're very excited for this new chapter in the FSF. We are confident that shifting to a remote working model will strengthen the FSF and empower us to continue advocating for user freedom long into the future. But first we must say goodbye to our office, and we'd love for you to join us.
For the final time, we will open the office to everyone who would like to visit the office one last time on Friday, August 16th from 6:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. for our move-out party. While we're spending time together and saying farewell to our office, we will have our GNU Press shop open for you to get any FSF merch that you've had your eye on, but haven't quite made the leap to purchase, and we will also be running a donation-based garage sale. We have a variety of furniture (including desks, chairs, and a conference table) and other office odds and ends that we'd like to go to the community. Everything that we have up for grabs will be priced as "pay what you want." If you've been looking to sustainably add something new to your office, definitely swing by to see if anything from our office might be a good fit for yours!

Free Software Foundation Says 'Goodbye' to Its Boston Headquarters on Friday - FOSS Force
If you’ve ever had a hankering to drop by the Free Software Foundation’s office in downtown Boston, you basically have only one last chance to do so. That’s because at the end of the month FSF is vacating the office at 51 Franklin Street that it’s called home for the past 19 years, to become a 100% remote organization. To make sure folks have the chance to drop in and say their goodbyes, the organization has scheduled a move-out party on Friday August 16 from 6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
“While we’re spending time together and saying farewell to our office, we will have our GNU Press shop open for you to get any FSF merch that you’ve had your eye on, but haven’t quite made the leap to purchase, and we will also be running a donation-based garage sale,” the FSF said on its website. “We have a variety of furniture (including desks, chairs, and a conference table) and other office odds and ends that we’d like to go to the community.
