John Leach is a free software hacker from Leeds. He is the creator of the web comic, Everybody Loves Eric Raymond, which stars Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds and Eric Raymond living in a house somewhere for some reason. As Richard Stallman said "It is funny, but I'm disappointed that it accentuates the shallow." Random free software fact: John Leach is able to draw by harnessing the power of economic coercion and forcing it into his USB port. About Manchester Free Software Group ==================================== Manchester Free Software was formed in response to a growing apparent need for a group based in the Manchester area that focuses on Free Software and GNU/Linux primarily, but also on issues such as Digital Restrictions Management and other issues which infringe on the freedoms of computer users. All our meetings take place at Manchester Digital Development Agency (MDDA), on Portland Street. http://www.manchesterdda.com/directions/ Come and speak for us! ====================== If you've got a project and you'd like to talk for 15 mins, 30 mins or even up to an hour about it, let us know.
