[Buffalo-pm] Fw: Richard Stallman

[Daniel Magnuszewski]

This may be a little off topic, but Richard Stallman will be giving a talk at UB this February and is looking for a place to crash for a few days (apparently he doesn't like hotels).

Hi everyone, I'm passing along a request/email from Richard Stallman's assistant. Is there anybody who might be willing to host rms for a few days? Regarding accommodations here's an excerpt from another email. -Brian

But if there is anyone who wants to offer a spare couch, or even some
spare floor, I would much rather stay there than in a hotel (provided I
have a door I can close, in order to have some privacy). Staying with
someone is more fun for me than a hotel, and it would also save you money.
Floor space is sufficient because I bring an air mattress with me.

Hello, Brian,

I have a quick question about accommodations.  RMS is on the road for a
good majority of the year and likes to avoid hotels as much as possible.
Do you know if anyone (a professor, a student, etc.) would be able and
willing to house him while he is in town?

Also, do you know how long they would be willing to house him?
I'm asking because it's looking like he might be speaking in Pittsburgh on
February 19th.  If he took the bus to Buffalo that same day or the next
day, and then gave a talk in Buffalo on Monday the 22nd, that would mean
that he would need a place to stay in Buffalo for at least three nights.
Would that work?

Thanks a lot for getting back to me on this.
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
