  “ My first meeting with this group. I was expecting young "geeks" and "fanboys" personalities. I was surprised at the wide range of ages, professionals, many nationalities, and a lot more females than I expected. I didn't hear the usual Microsoft Bashing, except Mr Stallman doing it politely (which was expected). Well organized, on time, ended on time, and food afterwards. I will attend again in the future. ”

  “ It was fantastic to see him in person and he really cleared up some points of free software that I hadn't understood before, ”
- Nicholas Perito
  
  “ stallman's remarks about the evolution of copyright law were neither focused nor insightful. he should have stuck to what he knows best. ”
