Thank you Amir for mentioning it. As for mentioning English, I hope that the speakers' English will not be too fluent that I will have troubles to follow it. Yet I was not invited and it could be that most Israeli attending don't have this problem. I have tried to write an English synopsis but got something which is more of a translation. Hopefully the English is reasonable and the translation is accurate. In particular, I made an attempt not to express any political views, both in the context of FSF - free software movement - Linux and in the context of the Israeli - Arabic conflict. The title: Father of open source will be visiting Israel Richard M. Stallman, the founder of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), will be lecturing in a joint convention of IBM and Tel-Aviv University; Fainting of Admirers-Geeks are to be expected. Richard M. Stallman, the father of the open source movement and the founder of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) will arrive to Israel at the beginning of January. Stallman will be lecturing on the FSF and the Linux operating system as part of the GNU Linux, Free Software Open Source convention (http://http://www-5.ibm.com/il/news/events/gnulinux) that is held by the Israeli branch of IBM in coordination of the Tel-Aviv University and the Israeli Data Processing Association (ILA). Stallman (49), known as RMS (http://www.stallman.org), established the GNU (a recursive acronym for GNU is Not Unix) project in 1984, by which he created a UNIX like OS that can be distributed, copy and modify without limitations. The GNU project was the basis for the foundation of the FSF (an acronym for Free Software Foundation) movement which is manifesting in the free and unlimited usage of software. The open source movement, which was established afterwards, is a soften and less radical version of the FSF. [ An illustration of a GNU sitting on a chair a playing a flute next to a conducting penguin, taken from the reservation for the convention ] Stallman is not only a software radical but also a publicists. He writes a lot about international political issues (http://www.stallman.org/#politics) and, in particular, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (for example, he favors the separation fence but object (http://www.stallman.org/articles/fencing.html) to building it in occupied territories; He was in favor of the elimination of the HAMAS leader but thinks that the timing was stinking (http://www.stallman.org/good-fences.html)). In addition, Theodore T'so, who helped the creator of Linux Linus Torvald in the creation of the alternative OS and is now working in the Linux technology department of IBM will also lecture in the convention. So far for the translation attempt. Once again, I believe that eliminating the HAMAS leader is an accurate translation of what is written in the original article. -- Shaul Karl, [EMAIL PROTECTED] e t = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
