About this film
UPDATE 2022-09-04 09:17 +0300: Appended a section with the pictures I just managed to take. In this video I show the award that the FSF gave me. It arrived in my mail a few days ago. Backstory In March 2022 the Free Software Foundation gave me the “2021 Award for Outstanding New Free Software Contributor”. This was done in the context of the LibrePlanet 2022 conference, where I also delivered a speech. I was asked to record a brief clip for the awards’ ceremony, which I did: I won an award from the FSF for my contributions to Emacs Excerpt of what I originally said: So while this award is given to an individual, I think it actually is all about the community. How the community—how all those unsung heroes—have helped a given person achieve certain things. And this is because when I came to Emacs, when I switched to Emacs, when I joined this milieu two-and-a-half years ago I discovered everything I needed. There was high quality documentation, an excellent program in the face of GNU Emacs, lots of blogs and tutorials and everything and, of course, interactions with different people from where you always get to learn something new.
