    Where do we stand 30 years after the founding of the Free Software Foundation? (Opensource.com)
    Opensource.com has an interview
    with John Sullivan    , Executive Director of FSF. "I stay involved because I think it's one of the most important social movements in existence, and it needs help—a lot of help. As more and more of the world's social, cultural, economic, and political interactions are mediated by technology, control over the technology becomes incredibly important for the exercise of any basic individual freedoms. I love the people I meet in this work, and the enormity of the challenge."
