Interview: Vernor Vinge
,----[ Quote ]
| Science fiction writer Vernor Vinge is best-known for novels like A Fire Upon
| the Deep and Rainbows End, as well as the concept of The Singularity -- the
| idea that, in the next couple of decades, humans will become or create a
| super-human intelligence. What is less well-known is that Vinge has been a
| free software supporter since the earliest days of the Free Software
| Foundation (FSF). He has served several times on the jury for the FSF Awards
| and spoke at an FSF-sponsored event held last month in San Diego to coincide
| with the LISA conference. As someone who deals regularly with large scale
| speculations, Vinge places free software in a larger historical context. He
| even speculates that free software may be one of the factors that will
| shortly bring about the Singularity.

Free Software related books for friends
,----[ Quote ]
| I started thinking about good Free Software related presents lately. Until
| now the best things which came into my mind are books. So I thought it might
| be good to have a list of Free Software related books which are nice to read
| also for people who haven't heard or read about Free Software before.

FSFE's antitrust victory with Samba
,----[ Quote ]
| FSFE's role in the antitrust case was to ensure that free software developers
| would be able to use any interoperability information that Microsoft would be
| forced to publish. After 5 years of work, the last court case was won last
| year. There were always doubts about whether Microsoft could really be pinned
| down, but from Samba developer Andrew Bartlet's blog, it seems the Samba team
| are now loving the interoperability information.
