Stallman made me confused

October 11, 2010
I was on rush to complete a web application project which I completely messed up. Spring Framework 2.5 suck. It was already 5:30 and Stallman may arrive there every second. I had to make a choice either to run down to Clancy or stay at K17. Not my mind but my instinct took me to Clancy and I didn't even bother about losing 15 marks. I already have a RSVP so found my name, got the banner, fixed my camera and nervously stayed at the couch. Few friends came in, and went to this giant auditorium at Clancy.

Even if you know Stallman and read about him, seen his pictures or videos when he first appear in front of you. You will say "Oh Fuck!! He looks like the one in pashupati..", and same thing happened in that stage, nobody even realised him coming in and going to take the podium. Even the MC was amazed. And he started with a glass of water with his medicine and criticized the taxi driver for over charging him. And there he goes, "What is Free Software?" - And I was like "What the fuck? Are you going to spend my next 3 hours listening what I have learned for years and years..." He talked about all old stuffs that we practised everyday at FOSS Nepal Community. Sometimes I left we are way ahead. And one thing that made me proud was the level of understanding that we have of free software. But I kept myself awake, I don't know if it's playing with my camera, coke or Stallman's speech.

"Linus Torvalds is aganist free software, he says he want convenience."

"Throw VLC in your bin!!"

"Open Source is another way to promote, proprietary software."

"iBad on your cuffin"

"Slow poison got made, Windows"

"Go to GNU.org to find out more.."

Critics, critics, critics.... Stallman made me confused...
