Come See RMS In Toronto!

Richard Matthew Stallman (RMS), the farther of the gnu project, will be speaking in Toronto  Febuary 2nd @ 5pm, in the Bahan Center (Bahen Center, 40 St. George Street Room 1160). This event is open to everyone and you can find the original notice here (Yes it is sad that I cant find a U of T link right now… guess my google skills aren’t up to snuff).

IMHO RMS is one of the founders of free software but you don’t need to be in computer science or a geek to understand what he is talking about. Lots of people use GPL software every day without even knowing it. Wordpress, Google, Ubuntu, Wikipedia all use GPL software and so based of that I argue that RMS has been an extremely influential charter in the evolution of software (open or closed source) so it is a talk I would not miss.

Time: Febuary 2nd @ 5pm
Location: Bahan Center (Bahen Center, 40 St. George Street Room 1160)

If your going to be there and want to meet up for a beer after let me know, or friend me up.
