Hello Guys,
            I need not tell you guys who's Stallman :-), please pass on the 
Information to people who must have missed him at Bombay and Kochi, especially 
the people whom you think can make it in Hyderabad. This hall is a big one with 
a capacity of around 1500 People.

CVR and Rag00 what do you think  will that be big or do we need to go for some 
extra arrangements.

    The Free Software Foundation (FSF), founded in 1984, is dedicated
     to promoting computer users' right to use, study, copy, modify,
     and redistribute computer programs. The FSF promotes the
     development and use of free software. The FSF also helps to
     spread awareness of the ethical and political issues of freedom
     in the use of software. Richard Stallman will speak about the
     history, purpose, goals, philosophy, methods, status, and future
     prospects of the Free Software Movement and the GNU/Linux
     Operating System.

   Richard Stallman left MIT in 1984 to found the GNU project aimed at
    developing a free operating system GNU. This software is used
    today by more than 20 million users in its GNU/Linux
    variant. Richard Stallman is the principal author of popular free
    software such as the GNU C compiler, the GNU symbolic debugger
    (GDB) and GNU Emacs.

   Richard Stallman is a leading proponent of the Free Software
      Movement and is currently the president of the Free Software
      Foundation. He is also the author of the GNU GPL (General Public
      License), and the GNU Manifesto of the Free software Foundation,
      the two most important documents that spearheaded the free
      software movement. Richard Stallman's visit to Hyderabad is being
      jointly organised by IIIT and the TIE Hyderabad.
