Richard Stallman’s info packet
I saw this on Kottke. It’s Richard Stallman’s information packet – the one that he sends out to people who want to invite him to give a talk. It’s long.
Back when I was in law school (2004, actually), I was involved in organizing a talk by Stallman. He sent us a similar information packet. I just pulled it out of my email archives. It was long back then, but, I shit you not, the length has almost, literally doubled from about 5,400 words to 9,100 words in the intervening 7 years. As for the talk – I don’t remember much about the organizing process except for it being very… fiddly – but his anti-software patent message definitely stuck with me.
