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<br>
<br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
But if there is anyone who wants to offer a spare couch, or even some<br>
spare floor, I would much rather stay there than in a hotel (provided I<br>
have a door I can close, in order to have some privacy). Staying with<br>
someone is more fun for me than a hotel, and it would also save you money.<br>
Floor space is sufficient because I bring an air mattress with me.<br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Hello, Brian,<br>
<br>
I have a quick question about accommodations. RMS is on the road for a<br>
good majority of the year and likes to avoid hotels as much as possible.<br>
Do you know if anyone (a professor, a student, etc.) would be able and<br>
willing to house him while he is in town?<br>
<br>
Also, do you know how long they would be willing to house him?<br>
I'm asking because it's looking like he might be speaking in Pittsburgh on<br>
February 19th. If he took the bus to Buffalo that same day or the next<br>
day, and then gave a talk in Buffalo on Monday the 22nd, that would mean<br>
that he would need a place to stay in Buffalo for at least three nights.<br>
Would that work?<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for getting back to me on this.<br>
Thanks for your time.<br>
Sincerely,
</div></div><div style="position:fixed"></div>
