Richard Stallman (rms) in the UK 2011
Richard Stallman,
aka rms, founder of the
Free Software Foundation (FSF),
GNU's Not Unix (GNU) and the
Free Software Movement
did a speaking tour of Great Britain (unfortunately, Northern Ireland was not included in the tour) at the beginning of March 2011. FFSUK recommended attendance.
The individual events were organised by local IET committees and registration was required.
The IET 'Stallman 2011' tour included talks in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France as well as the UK.
