"Richard Stallman, Mark Shuttleworth, and I are in Tunis, Tunisia for the UN World Summit on the information society."

"I humorously remind Richard that he and I both have immunity as delegates, and he responds "Well, perhaps then I should have killed Bob Kramer". Kramer is the CompTIA representative who comes along to these things to relate an pro-software-patenting and generally anti-Free-Software viewpoint which gets Richard very steamed up. There's a laugh, and I explain that our immunity probably doesn't go that far. Richard goes on to say that he wouldn't really kill anyone, but no doubt UN Security has heard this entire exchange too."

"You can't give Richard a visible RF ID strip without expecting him to protest. Richard acquired an entire roll of aluminum foil and wore his foil-shielded pass prominently."

"During his keynote speech at our panel today, Richard gave a moment's talk about the RF ID issue, and passed his roll of aluminum foil around the room for others to use. A number of people in the overcrowded-to-the-max standing-room-only meeting room obligingly shielded their own passes."

"I am honored to follow Doctor Richard Stallman, the giant upon whose shoulders Open Source stands. When I say Open Source, I mean the same thing that Richard means when he says Free Software. There has been factionalism, but only because of personalities that no longer matter."

Script 1

linus: hi Bruce. I read your UN world summit speech
bruce: ah yes.

linus: when you said "personalities that no longer matter", did you mean Eric?
bruce: my dear Linus, I meant general characteristics. Perceptions, attitudes, habits and fears.  Collective behaviours and ideas.  Eric is not the embodiment of all that is wrong with our community.

linus: you do realise you're still a ghost, right?  Eric can't harm you.
bruce: I saw him ordering holy water from vatican.com.  I'm taking no chances.

(17:47:38) johnl: "Of course when the apocalypse comes, the dead will walk the earth and Eric could just pop Bruce then."
(17:47:40) scara-tzu: should mention ESRs plans for turning farms in to oil producers :)
(17:47:46) johnl: and link "apocalypse" to his blog
(17:47:55) johnl: though I still have plans to do a strip on that
(17:48:27) johnl: "Of course when the apocalypse comes, the dead will walk the earth and Eric could just pop Bruce then, assuming he doesn't run out of ammo on the French
