A day with RMS

Image
Today RMS visited Bangalore again. This is for the first time I am seeing him. I am bit tired after today's programs. So, I will try to proide a brief summary of the program. I hope you know what RMS will be talking about, so I am not going to those details :) His talk was at NMKRV college in Jayanagar (Bangalore) which was very near to our office. I reached there with Jayesh around 10 am. I have seen his talks in video and today also it was a typical RMS talk. At the end of session, during questions time, I also asked one question :) I asked him: "Many free software follows release early, release often philosophy...". He interupted me, "No, that is not the case, and that is just a development methodology...". I continued my question like "Why GNU Emacs releases taking so much time...". He said, "That is due to technical reasons, you can also come and fix it (laugh) as it is free software and all the code is available in Savannah..."
