Abstract
for
Richard Stallman Talk
Presented by
Portland State University
Chapter of
Association of Computing Machinery
The Free Software Movement campaigns for computer users' freedom
to cooperate and control their own computing. The Free Software
Movement developed the GNU operating system, typically used with
the Linux kernel, specifically to make these freedoms possible.
The Portland State University Chapter of the Association for
Computing Machinery and the Computer Science Department are proud
to welcome Richard Stallman to PSU for this general-interest talk.
Mr. Stallman is the father of the free software movement and the
concept of 'copyleft', the original author of GNU Emacs, the GNU
Compiler Collection, and many of the utilities used in the GNU/Linux
operating system.
This event is free and open to the general public. Mr. Stallman will
be available for a brief Q&A session following the talk.
