DESCRIPTION:As part of OWASP AppSec Europe 2014 Conference\, being hosted 
 at Anglia Ruskin University\, East Road\, Cambridge\, we are arranging a s
 pecial community based\nlecture by Dr Richard Stallman \, President of the
  Free Software Foundation\, who will be talking about\n\n*Freedom Issues f
 or Web Sites*\n\nWeb sites continually raise several issues of concern tha
 t affect individual users' freedom. As part of their design\, such web sit
 es often make users run nonfree\nsoftware (perhaps in Javascript) whilst o
 thers collect data about people or help both commercial and clandestine en
 tities to do so. Some websites may help do the user's own computing and th
 us deny users control over it. Dr Richard Stallman will speak about these 
 problems and how to avoid them.\n\n*Biography for Dr. Richard Stallman*\n\
 nDr. Richard Stallman launched the free software movement in 1983 and star
 ted the development of the GNU operating system (see www.gnu.org) in 1984.
  GNU is free software: everyone has the freedom to copy it and redistribut
 e it\, with or withoutchanges. The GNU/Linux system\, basically the GNU op
 erating system with Linux added\, is used on tens of millions of computers
  today. Stallman has received the ACM Grace Hopper Award\, a MacArthur Fou
