Fw: Richard Stallman talk (fwd)

[Jeff Mings]

Dudes!

    Here's what I found with a quick search engine lookup:
ACADEMICS:
                                            UHM ICS: Richard Stallman is the
founder of the GNU Project, launched in
                                            1984 to develop the free operating
system GNU (an acronym for ``GNU's Not
                                            Unix''), and thereby give computer
users the freedom that most of them have
                                            lost. Stallman received the Grace
Hopper Award from the Association for
                                            Computing Machinery for 1991 for
his development of the first Emacs editor
                                            in the 1970s. In 1990 he was
awarded a MacArthur Foundation fellowship, and
                                            in 1996 an honorary doctorate from
the Royal Institute of Technology in
                                            Sweden. . 3:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.
Monday, August 28. Art Auditorium 132. (Stephen
                                            Itoga, 956-3500). Email:

Hmm... so is the Art auditorium that artsy building close to the campus center?

I'd love to hear/see this guy that I read about on Slashdot and other places so
often.  Don't know if I'll be able to make it on such short notice... couldn't
even make the last LUAU meet in the new location!
