A Visit from Richard Stallman

When I was working at The Public Library of Science (PLOS), one of my co-workers ran into Richard Stallman on the streets of San Francisco - presumably flown in to give a talk at some local conference.

Somehow my co-worker talking him into giving a talk at PLOS. After all, our mission (making science/research free and accessible to all), is somewhat parallel to the mission of the The Free Software Foundation (defending the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share software).

I have seen him before, and unlike others, I appreciate his eccentricities. So it was a joy to have him come talk at my place of work.
