November 2016: Photos from Lisbon

by Jeanne Rasata Contributions Published on Nov 30, 2016 09:27 AM

RMS was in Lisbon, Portugal, this month to give a stand-alone speech, “Should We Have More Surveillance Than the USSR?”1, hosted by the Núcleo de Alunos de Ciência Política (the political-science students' group), at the Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE), on November 10th. FSF member and the event organizer Daniel Sousa underscored the advantage of being able to reach such a broad audience, especially in light of the how Portugal's “most recent governments have been taking measures that are quite Orwellian for fighting tax evasion”2:

…and to take part in Web Summit (2016-11-07–10), a technology marketplace. RMS was one of the six hundred speakers and gave his speech “Reclaim Your Freedom with Free (Libre) Software” to an audience of about a thousand developers and engineers:
