Hi Frns,

Richard stallman Founder of Free Software Foundation Came to IIT-M to Give a International Seminar on FREE SOFTWARE FREEDOM AND EDUCATION.Huge Particpants Turned up around 3500.I was one of the Organizer for this Event.Felt Happy.And got scolding from RMS for offering him LUNCH.Bcz their culture is they do their job and do not depend upon other's always.He needs help only when he cannot carry it by his own.

RMS strongly pointed out TAMIL NADU free laptop scheme.And stated that it is not free laptop unless it contains Open Source Software in it.

Here some of the News Paper Covered his Story.
