Beard Guru in Bangalore

RMS visited Bangalore on 13th December 2008. We all FOSS enthusiasts were very eager to meet him. It was first time I met him. He is very patient preacher who never hesitates in explaining n-times the concept of Free Software. It was a pleasure meeting the guru himself and listening to his ideologies. He spoke for about and hour-and-half, having sips from 3-tea cups in front of him every few minutes. 

Once the event was over everyone of us rushed to take a snap with him. He generously let one by one take the pic and give out Laptop stickers and badges.

                              

As far as his speech is concerned. I suggest you to read my previous posts. He highlighted major points of GPL and why GPL is needed to protect freedom of a user. One fact which I was unaware of is that Linux Kernel contains proprietory code called 'blobs' 

Overall it was great to meet RMS and knowing how one can support Free Software movement.
