40 Years of the Free Software Foundation

The Open Science Platform at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, University of Warsaw, cordially invites you to join in celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Free Software Foundation’s work in defending the freedom of computer program users.

The local celebration will take place on May 29th, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the University of Warsaw Library (BUW, room 256). The event doors open at 5:30 PM at the Library entrance. Admission is free.

During the event, you’ll learn what free software is and how the Free Software Foundation has been defending its users’ freedoms for the last forty years.

The gathering will open with an interactive quiz the audience, followed by a panel discussion on freedom in the realm of machine learning applications. Afterwards, there will be a short improvisational theatre performance by Spoko Moment, inspired by the evening’s theme.

The panel will be moderated by Krzysztof Siewicz (Licensing and Compliance Manager, FSF), and the discussion (held in English) will feature:

  • A representative from Free Software Foundation Europe
  • Jakub Szprot, Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, University of Warsaw
