5. Free( and Open) Software Movement 4 basic freedoms: - 0. Free to run Free to run - 1. Free to study So there must be a way to get the source code! - 2. Free to share You have absolute right to share the software to your friends and you neighbors. - 3. Free to benefit from your contributions Let the whole community have a chance to benefit from your changes.
6. Free( and Open) Software Movement The alternative terms "software libre", "open source", and "FOSS" are associated with the free software movement. Although drawing on traditions and philosophies among members of the 1970s hacker culture, Richard Stallman founded and launched the movement in 1983 by founding the GNU Project.
7. Who is RMS ? He is: - a Hacker - early author of gcc and emacs - the father of free software movement - sponsor of GNU Project - philosophical evangelist of free software

9. Who is affected by RMS's "virus" ? Matsumoto Yukihiro( 松本行宏 ) The original author of Ruby ... 积极参与开源软件开发，拥有开源开发人员 , 可以证明自己公司的技术实力， 有助于确立品牌。 ... 我除了把 Ruby 作为自由许可证软件公开以外，没有考虑过其他的选择。其 理由之一就是，我从大学以来所处的教育环境，几乎全是由以 GNU 软件为主的 各种自由软件构成的。 —— 《松本行宏的程序世界》
10. Where's Chinese hackers ?! As I know, there're many respectable Chinese hackers, young, struggling against this money world, stick to their dream, trust in free. For a stimulate, I won't list them. Maybe next time, maybe never... Or maybe you hate this page, whatever.
11. How to start contributing to community ? - For Christ's sake, use the fuc* free software - Tell your neighbor about free software - Join or start a open source project - Write sample code and article for educational purpose - Translation
12. GNU's next step GNU Guile Guile is the GNU Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for Extensions, the official extension language for the GNU operating system. http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ All the GNU softwares must be rewritten/extended with Guile, include Emacs, GDB, GCC, GIMP, GNOME... And the work has already started... The latest good news is, guile-Emacs works now!
13. GNU's next step Upstream University http://upstream-university.org/ More and more good developers take part in GNU, we should have a plan to train them better! NOTE: It's for senior, helping professional developers contribute successfully and more efficiently to Free Software projects. And, anyway, so expensive...$3500 for two weeks...but worthy! Upstream University, founded in June 2012 with support from Richard Stallman, Karen Sandler, and Bradley Kuhn, has just launched its training program targeted at helping developers become better free software contributors.
14. GNU's next step Education http://www.gnu.org/education/education.html - Software freedom has an especially important role in education. - The source code and the methods of Free Software are part of human knowledge. - On the contrary, proprietary software is secret, restricted knowledge, which is the opposite of the mission of educational institutions. - Free Software supports education, proprietary software forbids education.
15. Show time! 1. Ragnarok A generic server implemented by Guile. 2. picobit A lisp VM for compact hardware * You may know free software hacker, but do you know free hardware hacker?
