I was not even aware this was a thing.
- gizbot 13y agoIt started in 2012, which we all know as the real beginning of the Internet.
- ownagefool 13y agoIndeed and it's a good thing they created all that GNU stuff in 2013 because obviously it didn't exist last year. :p
- pvnick 13y agoOh that makes sense, I was thinking "really, it took until 2013 to get RMS in there?" It seems like the internet hall of fame would almost be specifically created to contain Stallman.
- IvyMike 13y agoOf COURSE if there is to be an Internet Hall of Fame, RMS has to be in it. But they were between a rock and a hard place last year, given that the FSF was itself founded by RMS. They probably waited a year to avoid immediate whining of "RMS created an award to give to himself".
- rca 13y agoOut of curiosity, I took a look to last year's inductees, there are also a few famous name in there : Vint Cerf, Tim Berners-Lee, Linus Torvalds, and others. http://www.internethalloffame.org/inductees/2012 http://www.internethalloffame.org/inductees/2012
