Hi, the recording is available at <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/richard-stallman-free-software-and-your-freedom">http://www.ustream.tv/channel/richard-stallman-free-software-and-your-freedom</a> but I haven't trimmed the rubbish off the beginning yet.<br>
<br>I agree his rooms are extreme, but we do need someone like him pulling us in the right direction.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 25 August 2011 11:05, Barry Drake <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ubuntu-advertising@gmx.com">ubuntu-advertising@gmx.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

He is one of the most entertaining speakers I have ever heard. I knew he held extreme views which I respect and understand, but I think he is damaging the overall cause through his absolutism. People (maybe especially people in government etc) are antagonised by zealots. The compromising that Ubuntu does makes it far far easier for folk like me to make converts. Richard and his disciples seem to close doors - especially when they storm the gates of hardware manufacturers.<br>
<br>
Just wondered how others feel about this issue? Some folk need to make a living, as Martin pointed out in one of his questions.<br>
<br>
BTW, is there a recording available? I'd like a friend to hear the talk.<br>
<br>
Regards, Barry.<br>
