All the wishes for the event. I hope it will help people think about the importance of Freedom and will bring in more people to fight for it, when it is threatened. Today, when new weapons like Software Patents and DRM ... poses such serious threats to our ability to create and distribute Free Software ... I believe more than ever before, we need to talk about Freedom.
The events schedule is as follows:
I am saddened about the words used in the schedule, even more so because it is a BMSLUG event :-(
I thought we had a bunch of folks who understood the importance of Freedom and the need to value it over the practical merits of a developing method to create powerful software.
... In a campus where RMS himself started the flame ... and on the 25th anniversary of the GNU project - the only Operating System build for respecting users Freedom.

Considering that it is more of a "Sun Freedom Day" in most campuses there
is nothing unusual about the terminology or schedule. While Sun is a part of the Free Software Community, it has been using various monopolistic methods to take over campuses which we activists had taken pains to build from scratch and since the current final year students have not consciously created a committed team of Free Software activists to further the Movement this was inevitable.

Introduction to Open Source Technology.
"If getting more people to use some free programs is as far as you aim to go, you might decide to keep quiet about the concept of freedom, and focus only on the practical advantages that consumer values understand. That's what the term "open source" is used for."
