  <title>RMS in Belgrade</title>
  <link>https://danilo.segan.org/blog/os/stallman-in-belgrade</link>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>Richard Stallman had two talks in Belgrade these days: one
yesterday on free software in general, and another today concerning 
copyright versus community.</p>

picture of RMS :)</em>

<p>The first talk was too crowded, but it was quite good and to the
point.  However, RMS destroyed it a bit with his attitute toward
people when answering questions (screaming "I can't hear you" or "I
can't understand you" at them, while they were struggling with their
English). He's definitely not The Man for the public relations.</p> 

<p>However, my "trick" question of when is next Emacs coming out still
ended up unresponded, even if he said "we are close".  Not that it is
stopping me from continuing to use Emacs from CVS with Gtk+
integration. :)</p>

quality, you are welcome to buy me a DSLR ;).</em>

<p>The second session was not as crowded and not as fun, but it still
made a lot of sense, and I hope at least some people learned something
from it. The funniest thing was the question from someone in the
audience: "why do you think community is more important?"  The first
thing that crossed my mind was: "hey you, go back and sit in your own
corner, all by yourself".</p>

<p>For me, it was a great opportunity to see many people I know
from the free software community in Serbia, but I am still sad that I
missed some others.</p>

<p>Now, I couldn't help it but think that someone a bit friendlier,
like our own <a href="http://gnome.org/~jdub/">Jeff "jdub" Waugh</a>
would have sent out an even better image of what we are
doing!</p>
