RMS visit to Bangalore

http://sujith-h.livejournal.com

Friday I left my office as soon as my friend Renukaprasad told me to pick RMS from an auditorium near Reserve Bank of India, where he was listening to a live concert. I took an auto and went to meet Renukaprasad who was there with him. I joined RMS and Dora for the concert. He was loving the Indian classical dance and music. After the concert we moved to the house where he was staying.

Report on Free Software Free Society, 2008.

http://pramode.net

For me, the high point of the conference was the chance to listen to people like RMS, Eben and Jimmy Wales - and a lot of other very interesting people with very interesting ideas.

Because we were sort of immersed in ideas for three days, I shall structure this report around these “ideas”.

Ideas for Changing America: Support the Free Software Movement !!

http://www.change.org

"Every generation has its philosopher — a writer or an artist who captures the imagination of a time. Sometimes these philosophers are recognized as such; often it takes generations before the connection is made real.
