[$] Impressions from the GNU Project's 40th anniversary celebration

On September 27, 1983, Richard Stallman <a href="https://www.gnu.org/gnu/initial-announcement.en.html" rel="nofollow">announced the
founding of the GNU project</a>.  His goal, which seemed wildly optimistic
and unattainable at the time, was to write a complete Unix-like operating
system from the beginning
and make it freely available.  Exactly 40 years later, the GNU project
celebrated with https://www.gnu.org/gnu40
 in
Switzerland.  Your editor had the good fortune to be able to attend.
