               The topic of the meeting will be a talk by Richard
Stallman his 
               talk will be about the history of GNU/Linux and the
Free Software Movement. 
               After the talk there will be a question and answer
session at which 
               time you are invited to join in.

         Mr Stallman is famous for founding the Free Software
Foundation in 1984.  Recently
         IBM handed over their copyrights of the S/390 Linux platform
to the Free Software
         Foundation.  The GNU project is also well known for the many
other things that are 
         in progress and the GNOME project is a good example.

        We do hope that you are able to attend the lecture.  We need
to cover the costs of 
        hiring a large 400 seater lecture theatre and other costs
which may not be evident.
        Those of you who do work in Universities may wish to copy this
over to any internal
        lists that you have.
