[dundee] Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

[Paul Sutherland]

Hi, 

On the subject of influential figures from the fsf, Eben Moglen who is chairman of the software freedom law centre, who helped with drafting the gpl, gave a very influential keynote speech at the 2006 plone conference.

It maybe a few years old, but is titled: "software and the community in the 21st century"

I am sure any foss fan will enjoy watching. 

The YouTube link is a bit long to type, but I link it on my site:

Cheers,

Paul
