February 2017: Photos from Berlin, Munster, and Cologne

by Jeanne Rasata Contributions Published on Feb 28, 2017 08:33 AM

RMS was in Germany this month, to give his speech “Free Software, Your Freedom, Your Privacy,” in three different cities, all on the invitation of the Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI), the German Informatics Society, a “network of professionals” whose shared goal is to “motivate for informatics, develop the scientific discipline and promote the impact informatics has on the economy, business and, society.” GI arranged for RMS to make appearances…

…in the Architekturgebäude of the Technische Universität in Berlin, where he addressed1 a full house, on February 10th
