RMS' girlfriend
Bruce Perens
nice, intelligent person who works for Public Knowledge, an organization
that is leading the fight to protect the public domain. She is also tall,
thin, young, and drop-dead gorgeous. I am not kidding.

Anyway, I suppose this should've been on debian-curiosa? That's the
debian-whocares Sean's talking about, I think.

People should just stop being so arrogant. This is Bruce Perens and he
will rarely ever post something as off-topic as this again, so there's
no need for anyone to try to teach him how to use debian-devel, he
probably knows it.
FWIW, I thought it was somewhat interesting info. >:)

Well, I don't know how well, or for how long, you know Richard.
A good many of us hold some admiration, respect, or even affection for
RMS. At the same time being conscious that like all humans, he has
his limitations. Geeks sometimes have trouble getting along in the
world. RMS is an uber-geek and has come in for a good deal of pain.
It is nice to see that he is doing better now.

I think people were picking up on a tone of incredulity from your
message, which may not actually have been there, but was instead
projected upon it by the reader. Perhaps people's willingness to
believe that RMS can have a successful relationship is correlated with
their own level of romantic success. :)

As long as I've known RMS, he has had no trouble finding people to
date. He might experience the same frustrations of all of us, of
course. But it's not like he's never had people interested in him.
And I worked next to his office for eight years.
All of the women I met were kind decent people well worth anyone's
time or interest.
The whole thing seems mildly distasteful, however; I would not
terribly enjoy having the ins and outs of my tumultuous love life
discussed on debian-devel.

dating, I have to report that
1) My girlfriend brags to friends about how great her geek boyfriend is
2) Her friend comments, "I wish I could find a nice, sensitive,
slightly-overweight geek of my own"
3) Shirley Manson of Garbage (who is a personal friend of my GF) recently
stated her crush on Tobey McGuire, saying, "I love those geeky guys. They're
so great in bed."

Totally off-topic (when did that ever stop anyone?) but this subject is
covered in "Free as In Freedom" a biography of RMS[1] I read recently.
Given that my only real life experience with him was when he almost bit my
head off for not saying GNU/Linux[2], this book did lot to humanize the
man in my eyes. It also made me a feel a bit sad for a man who loves
people but whose genius has pushed them away from him. Is this
idealization of abstract principles of community just a substitute for the
warmth of real community?

Could be. At least I met one shortly after I submitted a patch to XFree86,
but it was only a minor patch to the build system, so I had to find out it

"looking for a GF" seems quite partial to me. what about a tri-state

Considering we have a number of female developers and some gay developers,
I think "looking for a GF" is very prejudiced. I suggest "looking for
SO".

Not sure about the checkbox :-)
However, it would be nice if we could have an option to add a photo in our
profile on db.debian.org. There used to be a gallery of pictures of debian
developpers somewhere on netgod.net a few years ago, but it seems to have
disapeared...

Me neither. Near as I can figure, this sense is likely the most
relevant:
1. To procure; to obtain; to gain possession of; to acquire;
to earn; to obtain as a price or reward; to come by; to
win, by almost any means; as, to get favor by kindness; to
get wealth by industry and economy; to get land by
purchase, etc.

I hate getting into this but...
SO is generally accepted as meaning "Significant Other" which is more
"politically correct" than "Other Half" and much less
connotation-forming than "partner" which is often thought of as
homosexual partner even though it isn't that at all.
> Hmm, still not gay-friendly I guess.
Best choice so far.
Unless you have a dropdown for "wants a man" "wants a woman" "wants
noone" "wants a dog" or whatever

I fail to see the relation between Bruce (was big in Debian) and RMS
(was never in Debian) and God (never seen anywhere, IIRC). What I meant
by saying "this is Bruce Perens" was that he is clueful enough to know
what he should and what he should not post, most of the times.

this is Bruce Perens, he surely has had a lot of influence in Debian
and other projects, he surely is a well-known figure and he surely has
got a name. That does *not* mean that he always knows what is
appropriate and what not. i ain't bitching and there's no need to
apologize, but i absolutely think that his original post was not at
all appropriate. first, it's relevance to debian is 0, and second,
just because RMS has a name doesn't mean that everybody using GNU has
to be interested in his private life.
it is, however, amazing what little it takes to get Debian people off
what they should be doing and onto ridiculously stupid discussions.
i am almost sure that the big Bruce Perens did this on purpose as
a proof of concept. could you all just stop worrying about it and get
back to debian? it happens too often, threads about spam, RMS'
girlfriend, whatever, which tend to fill more then 50% of the volume

I think the relation between God is really inrelevant and I don't
want to get in a religion war (those big airplanes hurt :P). FYI: I
don't know about Bruce, but Richard "Impeach God" Stallman is an
atheist.
You should know the relation between Bruce and RMS. They are both
leaders of the Free Software movement (and not of the Open Source
movement, as Bruce has seen that it failed and doesn't support it
anymore). They share at least some of the same ideals.
The relation between them and Debian is pretty clear too. Without
Bruce, Debian wouldn't be as it is today. Without RMS, I doubt Debian
would exist at all.

Correction: it's normal to every group of people. You know? We're
humans. Not systems programmed to do what we're supposed to do.
I still need to see the first mailinglist -or newsgroup, for that matter-
that has *never* had an off-topic post. Even from well-known people on
that list or group.
Bitching about that fact isn't gonna get it away. In fact, that's
off-topic too...

that is. But I guess it isn't. Right?
