RMS estuvo en Paraguay y dio una gran conferencia, aquí les dejo algunas cosas que dijo.

LinuxInsider: "Debate raged on the Linux blogs after the Free Software Foundation published its list of free software the world needs.

Commenters offered their suggestions and several went so far as to paint RMS and friends as out of touch with reality."

My response: Cloud computing is a trap, warns GNU founder Richard Stallman.

RMS: I was taught ideals of human rights growing up in the United States inthe 60s, and then was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and theAntiwar Movement.

So I have cared about issues of freedom sincebefore I began programming.

Guiodic Blog: "You wrote: "The free world is the new continent in cyberspace". In 1983, did you imagine this continent would grow so much?

What are the most important goals for Free software movement today?"

Going back to 1984, Richard M. Stallman (aka RMS) declared to build a completely free, portable operating system.

He took the model of UNIX, which was the most popular system back then, and started writing pieces of the system.

A Groklaw reader named grouch has compiled a brief history of Sun.

"I think Sun is not the same as it was 5 years ago, or even 3 years ago. How long has it been since Schwartz blogged about Red Hat being "proprietary"?

Even RMS got tired of all the noise Sun made about setting Java free, someday, but then Sun actually did it.

That was shockingly different."

This is some poor kid trying to interview RMS, but RMS seems to be unnecessarily acting like an ass to him.

He's yawning, correcting the kid's English, etc, when its clear that English is not the interviewer's first language.

What's the deal?

Richard Stallman, the father of GNU, has so dramatically changed this world with the free software movement, and is largely responsible for Linux as we know it.

Without him, I doubt open source would be anywhere near as far as it has come. And I'm sure a few females would be happy to find out that he is looking for a wife.
