<p><b>About Richard Stallman:</b>
Richard Stallman launched the development of the GNU operating system (see
<ahref="http://www.gnu.org">www.gnu.org</a>) in 1984. GNU is free software: everyone has the freedom to
copy it and redistribute it, as well as to make changes either large or
small. The GNU/Linux system, basically the GNU operating system with Linux
added, is used on tens of millions of computers today. Stallman has
received the ACM Grace Hopper Award, a MacArthur Foundation fellowship,

and Open BSD, and get a hand installing one of them on your own system.
</p><p>This is an event to celebrate the releases of new versions of Ubuntu Linux,
OpenBSD, and FreeBSD. CDs will be available and everyone is invited to bring
their PC or laptop to get help installing any of these Free operating
systems. Knowledgeable CSC members will be available to help with any
installation troubles, or to troubleshooting any existing problems that
users may have.

FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software) in general. We may also have a
special guest (Ian Darwin, of OpenBSD and OpenMoko fame).
