Changes in FSFE: Time to pass on the torch 

,----[ Quote ]
| Karsten Gerloff, FSFE’s new President, spent the past years at the UNU-MERIT, 
| working with people such as Rishab Ghosh to provide the scientific basis for 
| the political change around Free Software. Before that he was an intern at 
| FSFE, working with me at the United Nations, specifically the World 
| Intellectual property Organisation (WIPO), he is familiar with FSFE’s policy 
| work and I have no doubt that he will be able to represent Free Software 
| effectively on all levels.

The smallest unit of freedom: a Fellow

| Stian Rødven Eide: Your involvement with GNU/Linux started while you were
| active in the demoscene, which was rather huge in Finland during the
| nineties. Were you already familiar with the philosophy of Free Software at
| that time? Was the culture of studying, sharing and improving each other’s
| code relevant to the demoscene?
|
| Timo Jyrinki: I don’t think I was really familiar with the Free Software
| philosophy at all at that time, and not even for some time after starting to
| use GNU/Linux. The demoscene did have an atmosphere of improving on other’s
| ideas, but actually seeing code was mostly totally out of the question,
| except for maybe some snippets. My real introduction to Free Software came
| from my involvement with Wikipedia.
