GNOME got an Amazing Christmas Present!
,----[ Quote ]
| Just in time for the holidays, GNOME
| received an awesome surprise!
|
| While many people probably listed computers
| in their letter to Santa, I bet not many of
| them got one like this.

GNOME and FSF highlight women in free software
,----[ Quote ]
| GNOME's Summer outreach program and FSF's
| LibrePlanet conference highlight women's
| participation in free software
|
| Today, the FSF announced the dates for the
| 2010 LibrePlanet event, a conference for
| the free software community that expresses
| a vision for solidarity amongst developers,
| activists and users who are working towards
| the shared goal of a fully free software
| world--a world without reliance on
| proprietary software.

InformationWeek on RMS
,----[ Quote ]
| Compare this gentlemanâs reflection and
| consideration of RMSâ points with the
| enthusiastic ignorance we saw earlier on
| the very same point.
|
| Examples like this are exactly why I have
| come to the conclusion that the noisy
| people that disagree with RMS (and, by
| extension, the âFree Softwareâ concept)
| fall into one of two camps: ignorant or
| malicious.

Corporate Funding FSF vs GNOME
,----[ Quote ]
| First of all I donât believe there is anything
| wrong with accepting corporate funding. The
| issue at hand is that corporate funding
| shouldnât dictate or suggest the direction of
| an organization.
|
| The FSF has three tiers of funding each
| receiving the same benefits. The only
| difference is that each tier is represented on
| the Patron List in groups. The first tier is
| $30,000. The Second tier is $25,000 and Under.
| The Third tier is $15,000 and Under. You can
| see who contributes the most as they are listed
| first.

Mono claims unequivically refuted
,----[ Quote ]
| GreyGeek on the Kubuntu Forums has written
| up an excellent point by point rebuttal to
| a lot of common Mono claims. There is a
| growing discussion about this hot topic on
| the forums as well (linked below). Are
| Microsoft Astroturfers everywhere? Or is
| this love for Microsoft blind?

GNOME and the GNU Project
,----[ Quote ]
| Do you remember the last controversy
| around Richard Stallman and Mono? Well,
| surprise surprise: the players are same!
| Imagine that! Quite the coincidence.
|
| It just so happens that the person calling
| for the vote is the same person that
| created the whole âI am not afraid of
| people writing codeâ slur-meme.
|
| It just so happens that the person
| seconding the call for the vote is the
| same person that crafted âopen lettersâ,
| published private correspondance and
| called for Stallman to be banned from
| speaking at future conferences.
|
| (The irony of calling for someone to be
| banned from speaking while later
| pretending outrage at that same person for
| calling into question how appropriate some
| topics are is quite delicious.)
|
| Again, read the posts to the mailing list
| and on the blogs. Stallman is calm and
| composed while being called a âfascistic
| extremistâ, and subjected to push polling.
| His critics as usual are condescending,
| twist his words, and resort to childish
| rhetoric at every opportunity.
|
| The beauty of the mailing list is that it
| is all laid out there for anyone to see.
