Nathan Schulhof also known as “The Father of the MP3 Player Industry”, Nathan Schulhof invented, patented and introduced the first MP3 Player that brought a revolution in the development of audio players. His innovation, ‘Listen Up Player”, won him the prestigious “Innovations Award” from the Consumer Electronics Show in 1997 and a “1998 People’s Choice Award”. It was the first MP3 Player that played the audio content downloaded from the Internet.

Tigers with a Lion in IIT Den

When I was in B.Tech 3 rd year I started using Linux. At that time I read so many articles on free software, open source software, copy rights of a software, linux and worked linux distributions. Meanwhile a read about Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman about the concept "Why Free?". Some times unexpected situations come with expected efforts. That became true. Now in IIT Guwahati Techniche 2010 I met legendary software developer and GNU free software founder Mr. Richard Stallman. Thanks to IIT Guwahati to give this wonderful opportunity and inspiration.



For a question he answered " I don't like the word free. I like freedom. That is what I am doing" Yes! It is true. Freedom for thoughts, freedom for life, and freedom for software.

He given autograph on a small paper by writing
"Happy hacking - Richard Stallman"
In the same lecture he given Badges and stickers. I purchased a Badge for 100 Rs from Richard. He sold me with his own hands. Have a look..I kept it on my lap and snapped. You can see a sticker on my lap "GNU/Linux" inside.


Here are logos and stickers


Those are sticked to my hostel room wall...
