<h1>Who is Richard Stallman?</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Dr Richard Stallman launched the <b>free software movement</b> in 1983 and
|
|
started the development of the <b>GNU operating system</b>
|
|
(see <a href="https://www.gnu.org">www.gnu.org</a>) in 1984.
|
|
GNU is free software: everyone has the freedom to copy it
|
|
and redistribute it, with or without changes. The <b>GNU/Linux</b> system,
|
|
basically the GNU operating system with <a href="https://kernel.org/">Linux</a>
|
|
as the kernel, is used on <b>tens of millions of computers today</b>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Stallman has received the <b>ACM Grace
|
|
Hopper Award</b> and the <b>ACM Software and Systems Award</b>, a <b>MacArthur
|
|
Foundation fellowship</b>, the <b>Electronic Frontier Foundation's Pioneer
|
|
Award</b>, and the the <b>Takeda Award for Social/Economic Betterment</b>, as
|
|
well as many doctorates honoris causa, and has been inducted into the
|
|
<a href="https://www.internethalloffame.org/">Internet Hall of Fame</a>.
|
|

Mr Stallman's actual lecture will be about an <b>hour in length</b>.

|
Its main focus will be ethical issues in the field of digital technology.
|
|
It will also cover <b>free software</b> –
|
|
a movement that Mr. Stallman himself founded.
|
|
It will focus on the dangers of the constant proliferation of <b>non-free software</b> in our digital society,
|
|
how such software <b>limits us as users</b>, and how we can fight against it with free software.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>

|
An <b>intractive Q&A</b> session will follow after the lecture, also being <b>about an hour</b>

|
in length. If you have questions for Mr. Stallman related to the lecture
|
|
topics, we would recommend to prepare them in advance.

Following the discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to
|
|
<b>take photographs with Mr. Stallman</b>,
|
|

|
|
GNU operating system</b> or the <b>Free Software Foundation</b>.
