cloudguy,

Bit of history

First ever

Me sat next to RMS

It was my 27th birthday

I'm 51 tomorrow

That's how long we have been doing Open Source

@cloudguy RMS would not like the term Open Source

@boilingsteam

What RMS likes and dislikes nobody actually cares. I spent hundreds of hours with him. It was insufferable sometimes.

He is an educated sometimes charming man who I still respect but sometimes it grinded.

He did, how ever, sing me Happy Birthday on mic to 1100 people at FOSDEM once.

is always my birthday weekend

@cloudguy Oh... that sounds lovely, he's a legend (related to free software). Thank you for your effort, didn't know how much you were doing in the past.

cloudguy,

@finn over 30m companies use my Open Source code commercially in 219 countries

Plus pFSense, IPFire, OPNSense, Endian all use my base code

I'm the old man of Linux security
