University of Minnesota
If you live in Minnesota, especially in/near Minneapolis, you may be interested to know that I'll be speaking at the University of Minnesota. I don't have an exact date yet, but it will be mid-April. My talk will be about Free software development, using FreeDOS as an example. I'm looking forwards to it!

About Me
- Jim Hall
- I'm Jim Hall, the founder and Project Coordinator for the FreeDOS Project. I started FreeDOS in 1994, when I was an undergraduate physics student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Other developers got in touch with me, and we began work creating our own version of DOS that would be compatible with MS-DOS. I shared the extended DOS utilities that I had written for myself, as did others. We also found public domain or open source programs that replaced other DOS commands. A few months later, we released our first FreeDOS “Alpha” distribution. And from there, FreeDOS grew into what you see today!
