+Richard Stallman is Battling Cancer 😔
+======
+Let's wish for a quick recovery!
+To celebrate the GNU Project's 40th anniversary, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) is organizing a hackday on **Oct. 1** (GNU 40) for families, students, and anyone else in the US.
+
+Before the event, the project turned 40 on Sept. 27, a part of the community along with Richard Stallman gathered for the GNU Hacker's Meeting in Biel, Switzerland.
+
+While he shared his thoughts at the event, he also revealed that he has cancer.
+
+Looking at the keynote, **Richard Stallman does not look the same without his iconic beard and long hair**. Considering he is already undergoing chemotherapy to treat cancer, that explains it.

+
+He did not share much about his health condition but said that it is manageable, and he will be alright for many more years.
+
+Furthermore, he emphasized:
+
+> So, it has made a fundamental change in my life.. I am still working for Free Software Foundation and other causes separately.
+
+### Richard Matthew Stallman (rms): Get Well Soon!
+
+Richard Stallman is a computer scientist who revealed the Unix-like operating system called **GNU** (GNU's not Unix) on **September 27, 1983**.
+
+So, Linux would not have been possible without it. And, that is the reason some prefer to refer Linux as GNU/Linux.
+
+If you are curious, he also created the **Free Software Movement** , which is the basis of open-source practice today.
+
+Sure, he has been with involved with many controversial takes for different things, but the impact he's had on Linux and open-source is huge!
+
+Undoubtedly, it is terrible news to know that Richard is battling cancer now. And, despite all of that, he enthusiastically appeared for a keynote, and gave a speech at the age of 70.
+
+All the good wishes to Richard for his quick recovery. 💐
