San Francisco, CA — (press release excerpt) — For the benefit of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), Affero is hosting a party and fund-raising evening on Wednesday, August 14, 2002 from 6 PM to 10 PM at Club NV at 525 Howard Street in San Francisco, CA. We invite all, including attendees of the nearby LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, to participate in this 'Full Tilt for Software Freedom', where… attendees will enjoy an evening of vintage pinball gaming. Free (as in price) snacks will be provided and a cash bar will be available.

A $10 donation to FSF is suggested for this event. In addition, some pinball tables will be sponsored by companies, including HP and IBM. Each table sponsor will donate $5,000 in the name of the highest-scoring player on the table that evening.

Bradley M. Kuhn, Executive Director of FSF, and Lawrence Lessig, noted author and law professor at Stanford University will each make brief remarks about the issues of software freedom. They both will be available at the event for questions and discussion with attendees.

Those who would like to engage in an extensive discussion with Kuhn and Lessig are invited to support the FSF further by attending a fund-raising dinner prior to the 'Full Tilt' event. The fund-raising dinner will be held at a nearby restaurant, and the cost of $250 per person which includes dinner and wine. Seating is limited; you can reserve a space by contacting Ravi Khanna at [email protected] or at +1-617-620-9640.
