Suraj suraj@symonds.net responded to my request to ilugc and fsf-friends, instantly, along with this correction:
Please find the corrected document attached herewith. As for the correction about 'holy' vs 'wholly' I have made it '[w]hol[l]y'. Feel free to make any changes (and i would be helped if you can send back the changes so that I can maintain a nice copy of it for myself).
The speech and the Q&A session must have been for 3 to 4 hours, and it has taken me that much time to merely correct punctuation, and I am only half way through! The RMS speech is important, as it conveys the entire history and philosophy of the Free Sofware movement in a capsule. It could probably be published as a booket by FSF-India. I wrote as follows to Suraj, privately:
Dear Suraj,
Thanks for having done a wonderful job of writing the transcript of
the RMS speech. It made me feel like I actually attended the meet. It must have taken a lot of your time and patience...
Regards, Ramanraj.
I feel like gifting our young friend Suraj a carton of 5-Stars, all for himself :-) for the good work done!
