By a few odd turns of events, I've been in contact with RMS making arraignments for him to come back to the valley to speak (he was hear last October if memory serves). The event would occur sometime in September. He would be proved facilities at ASU (lecture hall...). In my correspondence with him, he's expressed a few concerns. He's concerned about the turnout as he's spoken here recently. He doesn't want the event to be in any way associated with a Linux users group (only if the official name of the group is GNU/Linux). My questions to all of you are: Do you want him to come back to the valley to speak in September? What do you think the turnout would be? What was done for him last time he came here? Is anyone interested in helping to coordinate the event (get the word out to other interested folks in Tucson and Flagstaff and other groups like SAGE or the Perl users group)? For my part, I can coordinate the ASU end of things and be an interface. Possibly on campus publicity. I'm not sure what other resources are necessary. Those of you who helped bring him last time will have some insight for me I hope. Let me know what your interest level is and if you have any suggestions. Thanks, Kirt -- W.
