It's not the Gates, it's the bars

Bill Gates announced his retirement from his position in Microsoft. What are the implications regarding Free Software?.. unfortunately, almost nothing.

Richard M. Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation, has written a quite interesting article in BBC News online titled It's not the Gates, it's the bars.

You can find the article in http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7487060.stm.

Please share this link with your friends and family, and post it to any blogs, link sharing or social sites you think may find it interesting.

You may notice that I have remodeled the webpage to include this little journal.

Note that, despite its name, I am not going to write about me or my daily life (not interesting at all) but mainly about topics related to Free Software and technology. Despite that I may write about other topics from time to time.

To insert journal entries is also a good way to announce updates in the webpage, so after any interesting update I will post a little description with the appropriate link.

An RSS index is available to follow this journal.

The FSF has opened a section to make specific donations to the GNU PDF Project: https://www.fsf.org/donate/directed-donations/gnupdf.html

The donated money will be invested in hiring developers. As with the general donations to the Free Software Foundation the donor is able to benefit from tax-deductions if in the USA.
