Richard Stallman will be visiting the University of Lincoln on the 29th November 2013 to give an evening colloquium about the free software movement and the GNU Project.
Richard Stallman is best known for launching the GNU Project in 1983, to create a “Unix-like computer operating system composed entirely of free software”. This is the foundation of Linux as we know it (or more correctly, GNU/Linux). Today, he continues his work with the GNU Project and the Free Software Foundation. Feel free to read more about him at :

The School of Computer Science will be hosting Richard on the 28th and 29th November, culminating in a 2 ½ hour colloquium on the evening of the 29th. The talk will require registration, and will be open to the public.
