Stephen Fry video birthday card to the Free Software Foundation's GNU project

Posted by Cory Doctorow, September 3, 2008 3:39 AM | permalink

Steve sez, "GNU - a key part of the GNU/Linux operating systems that we love - is 25 years old today. Stephen Fry introduces GNU and wishes GNU a happy birthday. "

This is a great video -- Fry is a nerd hero. Freedom Fry — "Happy birthday to GNU" (Thanks, Steve!)

I promptly did the Danish translation/subtitling and send it to GNU.
