Hello, I'm an ex pat kiwi from Hamilton living in Stockholm Sweden. I met Richard Stallman last night at the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology. I asked him if he had visited New Zealand and he said he had done twice and is planning to return there again this year in August to do some talks. I asked him is he had ever been to Hamilton and Waikato university, but he hadn't. Then he said to me "I'm open to going to new places and my schedule is not set yet, so if you your interested in me coming there for a talk get in contact with me" So, as I've been away from Hamilton since 1992, I hand over this information you, the Waikato GNU/Linux users group. I have a contact here in the Freesoftware foundation who has the good contact with Richard Stallman and has his contact details. This is a great opportunity that I think Waikato University should look into. Last night Richard Stallman held a free two hour talk on FreeSoftware to 300 people here in Stockholm. I don't have any contacts at the Waikato University computer science department, so I'm hoping someone who reads this will contact me regarding follow up of this opportunity. I wrote in my blog about last night if your interested in knowing more. http://nordickiwi.no-ip.com/blog/ Regards Roger Sinel roger.sinel(a)nordickiwi.com www.nordickiwi.com + gpg key -- http://www.nordickiwi.com/rsinel.asc + fingerprint -- F0EF 2C17 99CA DC06 132A 967F B642 D0BA 6503 87C7
