The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a beacon
I just stumbled upon a statement on the website of the FSF (fsf.org) about the appointment of three new board members of the organisation. I am impressed. The FSF has been on my radar for many years, as I have followed developments in the Free Software world, and used Free Software for my own work. I have been a devotée of free software for over 40 years, as a user. These people at the FSF, as well as the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and GNU: what's not to like? Who is more committed to the concept of free software, free information. freedom from repressive copyrights and patents?
Fantastic!
The FSF!

Seemed to work fine. On Manjaro GNU/Linux I had to install a library: openslide. After doing this, this program started fine.
