Dr. Richard Stallman @ Georgia Tech Next Week
More Than One Week From Now
If one visits https://ltc.gtorg.gatech.edu/2026/01/04/rms/, the following now shows up, in addition to the more formal announcement.
To quote the page: "Join us for an engaging conversation about free software and its influence on society, featuring insights from Dr. Richard Stallman, the visionary who launched the free software movement in 1983 and initiated the development of the GNU operating system in 1984. Stallman’s contributions have left a lasting legacy, with the GNU/Linux system now powering tens of millions of computers worldwide. His remarkable achievements have been recognized with numerous accolades, including the ACM Grace Hopper Award, the ACM Software and Systems Award, a MacArthur Foundation fellowship, and his induction into the Internet Hall of Fame."
Dr. Stallman himself mentioned this talk a long time in advance.
"Minor correction!" an organiser told us. "Apologies, the URL can now be shortened down to just: ltc.gtorg.gatech.edu/rms/"
Nice and catchy.
RMS cannot be silenced. The US has the First Amendment; the UK hasn't, so Americans can hire 'paper warriors' (hired guns) in another continent to do their "dirty work" for them. █
