In France they for some reason like to be free and in control. So the French culture is much supportive towards any free and open approaches to life. This obviously also includes software and technology so in France there exist a large crowd trying to push and promote the use of open source and free software. Like fx. April (Association pour la Promotion et la Recherche en Informatique Libre = Association for the Promotion and Study of Free Computing, see also april.org) and Framasoft (framasoft.org). And companies have found niches to operate in this technology field, like Bootlin, /e/ (Murena), Linagora and also different events regarding free software are held. One such is the Capitol du Libre held in Toulouse 16.-17. November (also hosting a MiniDebConf) at which the CEO of Bootlin are going to give a talk about Android mobile applications. He asked for input on applications people use on Linkedin, this is my answer;

Update: Jeg mødte Richard i Odense, fik lov at sponsorere FSF og fik en GNU med hjem!

Rygterne har lydt noget tid, men nu er det officielt at formand for og stifter af Free Software Foundation, den ideologiske ophavsmand til GNU-projektet og højlydt fortaler for softwarebrugeres frihed og privatliv i den digitale verden, Richard Stallman besøger Danmark med en række åbne og gratis foredrag dette forår.
Det er Stallmans dedikerede arbejde med fri software og GNU-projektet fra starten af 1980’erne, herunder udformning af softwarelicenser som GNU GPL og udviklingsværktøjer som GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) og GNU Emacs, der er grundlaget for en stor del af det der i offentligheden i dag bedst kendes som “open source”. I Stallmans og GNUs terminologi benævnes det dog retteligt “fri software” (på engelsk: “free software”) for at fremhæve at etablering og bevarelse af softwarens, og slutbrugeren af dens, frihed er det egentlige rationale for at give kildekoden fri.
Kernen Linux er frigivet under GNU GPL og er både inspireret af og anvender GNU-projektets arbejde direkte, og er en vigtig del af et komplet GNU-system (også kendt som GNU/Linux eller en “Linux-distribution”).
Stallman kommer på en veritabel Danmarksturne med start i Aalborg mandag d. 6. maj 2019 og ender i København fredag d. 10. maj 2019. Foredragsrækken er arrangeret af innovationsnetværket for IT, InfiniIT, som inkluderer de store IT-universiteter i Danmark.
Den samlede foredragsrække er som følger:
16:00-19:00
16:00-18:00
