Hi
Just a quick note to explain about our seminar in February.
If you would like to know about Samba 2.3 then you might like to come 
along and ask Jeremy Allison some questions.  You might also want to 
talk to Georg Greve who is the president of the European Free 
Software Foundation.  For more info have a look at....
http://www.sheflug.co.uk/seminar.html
There will also be several other speakers who can probably give you 
some interesting facts.
Although the whole thing is free and lunch will be served you will 
need to use the online registration form so that we can understand 
how many people will be coming along for lunch.....

we find that for some reason just the Netscape browser refuses to 
look at this page but I'm fine with Opera, Konqueror and Mozilla.
Thanks

It looks as though I'll be there, as there's a possibly interesting (to me)
conference in London that day. -- MJR

For those unaware, QMUL = Queen Mary, University of London, in the East end.

I don't know if I'll be going yet - I'm going to try - if there are any
fsfe-uk'ers going I might try harder ;) I know it's preaching to the
converted, but hey.

Alex.

> RICHARD STALLMAN, software hacker (in the "geek" sense), founder of the
> Free Software Foundation and of the GNU Project, and principal author of
> some of the most important GNU software, will briefly be in London in
> February. We are fortunate enough to have him come to Queen Mary,

> "Copyright vs Community in the Age of Computer Networks".
>
> Stallman has a long-held belief that software should be free in the same

> Lecture Abstract:
>
>      Copyright developed in the age of the printing press, and was designed
>      to fit with the system of centralized copying imposed by the printing
>      press.  But the copyright system does not fit well with computer
>      networks, and only draconian punishments can enforce it.
>
>      The global corporations that profit from copyright are lobbying
>      for draconian punishments, and to increase their copyright powers,
>      while suppressing public access to technology.  But if we
>      seriously hope to serve the only legitimate purpose of
>      copyright--to promote progress, for the benefit of the
>      public--then what must be done is either to reduce copyright
>      powers or effectively eliminate them, depending on the kind of
>      work.  Governments must now protect the public's right to copy.
