The UNH Student Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) will be holding its first public meeting of the 2001-02 year on Tuesday, March 26. Our guest speaker will be Bradley Kuhn, Vice President of the Free Software Foundation. The FSF is responsible for the GNU project, which was launched in 1984 to develop a complete Unix-like operating system based on free software. Bradley will be talking about the history and future of the free software movement, how his experience in industry led him to embrace the GNU philosophy, and some of the reasons behind the explosion in popularity of free software.
Bradley has expressed interest in meeting members of GNHLUG during his visit, and I especially encourage anyone from the group to attend. Free refreshments will be provided during the presentation, and we'll be heading downtowm in Durham for lunch afterwards.
