From his 1983 biography... I was built at a laboratory in Manhattan around 1953, and moved to the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab in 1971. My hobbies include affection, international folk dance, flying, cooking, physics, recorder, puns, science fiction fandom, and programming; I magically get paid for doing the last one. About a year ago I split up with the PDP-10 computer to which I was married for ten years. We still love each other, but the world is taking us in different directions. For the moment I still live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, among our old memories. "Richard Stallman" is just my mundane name; you can call me "rms".
Richard Stallman is an activist in the Free Software Movement, which he founded in 1983. The Open Source Movement split off from the Free Software Movement in 1998, and Stallman does not normally go to events labeled "Open Source". He participated in OSCON in 2002 as a "visitor" from the Free Software Movement. |
