Saturday 21 September 2019 is Software Freedom Day.
I would like to thank Richard Stallman for his leadership in bringing Software Freedom from a simple logical idea to the reality Free Software is within the software ecosystem today.
I am saddened by his recent resignations. In his words it was "over a series of misunderstandings and mischaracterizations".
RMS has characterized himself as "borderline autistic". I believe that while I am near that border, he exhibits far more traits. My only hope is that we will eventually have a future where the celebration of diversity includes neurodiversity, and there will no longer be so much anger from some communities directed toward us.
