Good one, Bianca. Tim is a person strongly in alignment with software freedom. Not only did he release the World Wide Web itself as free software (by dedicating it to the public domain, as is healthy for scientific research), he continues to be a vocal advocate of abolishing software idea patents and preserving the freedom of people on the internet. It's not clear from <URL:http://tbldownunder.org/> what his public lecture will be about in particular. But this is certainly someone of special interest to members of Free Software Melbourne. -- \ “Oh, I realize it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at | `\ me: I've worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme | _o__) poverty.” —Groucho Marx | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list Free-software-melb@lists.softwarefreedom.com.au http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb
