Abstract:

> 

> Richard Stallman will speak about the Free Software Movement, which 

> campaigns for freedom so that computer users can cooperate to control 

> their own computing activities.  The Free Software Movement developed 

> the GNU operating system, often erroneously referred to as Linux, 

> specifically to establish these freedoms.

> 

> About the speaker:

> 

> Richard Stallman launched the development of the GNU operating system 

> (see www.gnu.org) in 1984.  GNU is free software: everyone has the 

> freedom to copy it and redistribute it, as well as to make changes 

> either large or small.  The GNU/Linux system, basically the GNU 

> operating system with Linux added, is used on tens of millions of 

> computers today.  Stallman has received the ACM Grace Hopper Award, a 

> MacArthur Foundation fellowship, the Electronic Frontier Foundation's 

> Pioneer award, and the the Takeda Award for Social/Economic 

> Betterment, as well as several honorary doctorates.

Greetings! I am in the states until May 9th, will be around the DC area
on research trip, This week, I am presenting and sharing ideas about
'open ontology' and 'social interoperatbility' at NIST, 
(briefly outline here
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PaolaDiMaio/Towards_OpenOntology
) 

Next week I will be co-chairing a panel on Ontology for Emergency
Management at ISCRAM, at GWU. I would like to make the most of my stay
here by meeting up with as colleagues interested in my current line of
work, and who may share some of the vision and explore possible synergy.
If you are around, or you know anyone that I should hook up with
locally, please drop me a line 
Cheers
