Let us all have a toast at that precise time: Tue, 27-Sep-83 12:35:59 EST.

That will incidentally be dinner time at Biel/Bienne: https://www.gnu.org/gnu40.

From the original message, as reproduced at the bottom of this historical page: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/initial-announcement.html.

...and a grateful toast to the unrelenting GNU and all the hands that make it GNU!

40 and freeing more users by the day.

I forgot this important mention, credit where it is due: GNU40 badge by Antonio Becerro. Available for use under CC BY-SA 4.0. Modifications: color balance.

Happy birthday GNU for Tuesday! I wish I'd known this. GNU isn't quite as old as me, but its founder is a fair bit older ;)

I'm also late, but still want to say

HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY GNU!

With humble tanks to the brains behind it + wishing GNU continues on its development path for another 40x40 years, at least!

Yes. This seemed, to me, to be a spur-of-the-moment photo: The GNU 40 events was going on. Then one of the organizers said to the audience "Who wants to have their picture taken with RMS? If so go outside right now." Then the GNU 40 event was paused while people went to go do that. I decided to go.

Let's give it a try: Who can name the hackers in the picture?

Did RMS take the picture? I did not see him in it.

Darn, I tried putting something that looked like a smile to disguise it, but you found out!

What happened to all of RMS's hair? Did emacs 'rm -r' it?

Edit: It's cancer apparently: https://stallman.org/

>"Richard Stallman has cancer. Fortunately it is slow-growing and manageable follicular lymphona, so he will probably live many more years nonetheless. But he now has to be even more careful not to catch Covid-19."

Best wishes big guy!!!

Edit Edit: I would already know that if I had watched the video like the rest of you. Sorry for being incredibly slow.

The video seems to show that RMS is still in good spirits. He even makes a little fun of his chemotherapy port.
