Be the first to know when and where to meet with Richard Stallman

Richard Stallman launched the development of the GNU operating system (see www.gnu.org) in 1984.  GNU is free software: everyone has the freedom to copy it and redistribute it, as well as to make changes either large or small.  The GNU/Linux system, basically the GNU operating system with Linux added, is used on tens of millions of computers today.  Stallman has received the ACM Grace Hopper Award, a MacArthur Foundation fellowship, the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Pioneer award, and the the Takeda Award for Social/Economic Betterment, as well as several honorary doctorates.

Richard Stallman will be speaking on the following topics during his tour:

  • A Just Digital Society
  • Free Software in ethics and in practice
  • Copyright vs Community in the Age of Computer Networks
  • Advanced Emacs Editing (Workshop)
  • Emacs Lisp Programming (Workshop)
