Conference on Freely Redistributable Software
Sponsored by the Free Software Foundation
Over the past 15 years freely redistributable software
with accessible code has become ubiquitous. GNU
Emacs is the most popular Unix editor in the world;
Linux may well be the most exciting Unix-compatible
operating system; Perl has become indispensible to
system administrators; Expect automates and controls
interactive programs.
Join us for a unique conference that will bring together
implementors of different types of freely redistributable
software as well as the publishers of the operating
systems and the tools and applications.
The principal systems involved will be the Gnu Hurd, Linux,
Net/BSD, 386/BSD, and FreeBSD; tools and applications
include Bison, Flex, Expect, Emacs, PERL, and GCC.
This is the first conference dedicated to bringing together all
those involved in freely redistributable software.
Join us for this and much, much more!
