RMS & FSF Directors To Meet With FSF Members
Free Software Foundation writes "Richard Stallman, Eben Moglen, Bradley Kuhn, and the rest of the FSF leadership are hosting a rare FSF members meeting in Cambridge, MA on March 27, where they will tackle topics including, 'The Dangers of Software Patents', SCO, 'Free Software in a Global Economy', and 'The State of the Foundation'. FSF members will have ample opportunity to gripe, praise, dialog, network, and eat."

funny, there's no mention of showering....
;)
I think the song "Cavern" could be thoroughly rewritten to be about the FSF. Don't know if it should be, but it could be.
You are in error. No-one is screaming. Thank you for your cooperation.
Hopefully, there's a barber nearby.
This guy is way out there
FSF members will have ample opportunity to ... eat.
Free food? Shit, where do I sign up?
... that title has enough acronyms. Perhaps it should be "RMS & FSF Directors TMW FSF Members".
Darl McBride won't be there, so don't bother bringing your guns.
Anyone know if these things are good places to pick up chicks? "Hey babe. You say you support open source? Mind if I take a peek at your code?"
A giant echo chamber for issues that everyone who's attendants are the most vocal members of the cause. Sounds fun! Where do I sign up?
FSF & RMS about SCO and GPL ... LOL WTF
MoFscker
We know the following:
1.) The meeting will not be for real
2.) If it was for real, it will have 90 percent lawyers
3.) All members attending will be automatically sued by SCO after the meeting
I know I saw this and was reminded to join... and perhaps I will now... nothing like argueing with RMS as an incentive to join :)
Maybe the xfree team doesn't want their software to be "Free, as in herpes"?
Are you sure gathering so much leadership is wise? You know, when you have armed enemies?
You should do like they do at the State of the Union address, and leave one* of the members at an undisclosed location, in case the FSF is bombed or something.
*: The rest of the FSF might hope to leave RMS out of there because of BO considerations, but, alas, he is too important not to attend. It would be like Dick Cheney staying away from State of the Union.
Irene KHAAAAAAN!
...The kernel coders at Microsoft are unlikely to notice or care...
Nope. I've heard that not much phases the kernel coders at MS... unless somebody forgets to bring them their bananas for lunch, or accidentally leaves a mirror within reach...
This meeting of the GNU/FSF with GNU/RMS should be very interesting!!!!
So, anyone care to take odds on whether RMS can find anything to talk about other than yelling at everyone to say GNU/Linux?
