Is any one else interested in coming with me? <br>
<br>
And more importantly, <br>
<br>

(There was some debate about this at the lug) <br>

Thanks<br>

There is no
need to book a place - just turn up on the night. Abstract: Richard
Stallman
will speak about the Free Software Movement, which campaigns for
freedom so
that computer users can cooperate to control their own computing
activities.
The Free Software Movement developed the GNU operating system, often
erroneously referred to as Linux, specifically to establish these
freedoms.
About the speaker: Richard Stallman launched the development of the GNU
operating system (see <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.gnu.org/">www.gnu.org</a>) 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.</span></font>
