[Nottingham] [Talk] Wednesday 07/09/2011: What has FLOSS done for us?!

[Martin]

Folks,

To paraphrase a certain famous quote:

    “What has the GPL ever done for us?”

After the recent highly focused talk to the group by Dr Richard
Stallman (FSF) highlighting some aspects of our freedoms and the
compromises compromising those freedoms, this meeting is a chance to
discuss what *we* think… And also to see what all this means for the
world of software and IT and people in general.

FLOSS is certainly always in the news, and especially so at the moment
for various reasons...


What has FLOSS done for us?!

For Free/Libre... Is there really only Dr Richard Stallman shouting
for our freedoms?

*What do you all think* ?


All at our discussion meeting at:

Fellows Morton and Clayton
54 Canal Street
Nottingham, NG1 7EH
Telephone: 0115 9506795

To find us,  go through to the back of the pub and we’re up the spiral
staircase in the restaurant. Just ask one of the friendly bar staff
for NLUG if lost.

Food is also served through into the evening.
