03:45 sivoais I ate dinner with rms today... :-)
05:42 aditsu sivoais: really? what did you talk about?
05:50 sivoais aditsu: it was after he gave a talk at our university, so we had a professor and some students there.
05:51 sivoais the other students didn't know as much about free software so they were surprised about how much of what they do and learn in school is based on learning proprietary software
05:52 sivoais and I talked about how my research isn't open (in the open-science way) and how I can change that
05:52 sivoais he didn't like the word open :-P But in that context I meant that all the data is open and the software is libre :-D
05:53 aditsu hehe
05:54 sivoais it's really difficult to make my research FOSS since I am working in a lab as a grad student. But I have been making FOSS tools for my research.
05:55 sivoais ah, and now I have to make a slide deck for one of those tools so I can present it at a group this Monday
06:07 aditsu sivoais: btw, did he eat his favorite food? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25UeVXrEHQ#t=110 :p
07:03 sivoais lolol, nope. There were plenty of other things to eat.
07:04 sivoais I forgot to ask him about Everybody Loves Eric Raymond...
07:58 aditsu anyway I give him big props for speaking out about surveillance way before the Snowden stuff - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqSa8CGGclE (and yeah, the interviewer is an absolute idiot)
11:28 pdurbin I have a lot of respect for RMS.
11:29 pdurbin Not everyone does: Philip Durbin on Twitter: "@BryanLunduke I appreciate you interviewing Richard Stallman, but I'm disappointed by how disrespectful you were towards him during it." - https://twitter.com/philipdurbin/status/180041357442826240
11:29 pdurbin that was in reference to http://lunduke.com/2012/03/11/stuff-richard-stallman-said-on-the-linux-action-show/
