Stanford ACM

I just wrote up a blog post about Stallman’s visit to Stanford. I thought I’d mention it here, in case anyone is interested.

Hey ACM members,

Bill Gates is coming to Stanford on April 19. I thought I’d share the info with you all…

Bill Gates Talk!
Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and chairman and co-founder of Microsoft Corporation, will give a talk titled “Giving Back: Finding the Best Way to Make a Difference”, in which he will raise the question: How do we get the world’s brightest people focused on its biggest problems? The event will be held on Monday, April 19 at 5:00 p.m. in Memorial Auditorium. Tickets are available at the Stanford Ticket Office.
