Description
http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=3640 FISL had the presence of Richard Stallman, writer of the "GNU Manifesto" and Founder of the Free Software Foundation. As the event grew, more (knowledgeable) people started to hear about FISL. And as a result of the word-spreading, more people came to Porto Alegre to attend the Forum. Speakers Among others, founders and important members of great Free Software projects had spoken in 2002 FISL: * Ralf Nolden: Maintainer of KDE's Kdevelop IDE * Jon "maddog" Hall: Executive Director of Linux International; * Larry Wall: Creator of the Perl programming language; * Peter Salus: Author of "A Quarter Century of Unix" and "The Daemon, The Gnu and The Penguin" * Rik van Riel: Linux kernel Developer * Timothy Ney: GNOME Foundation Executive |
