Proposed changes to India's patent approval manual, along with comments from Redhat, Microsoft, etc.
The Clipperz project's call for privacy and software freedom in webapps, including input from Stallman
FreeGIS.org - a site collecting info about free mapping/geographic data projects. I haven't had the time to poke around much, but there's a database page where you can view the projects in their database that match various criteria.
"It's not the Gates, it's the bars" - article by RMS published by BBC. [UPDATE: Ken Guest sent me a good link where Gates admits that access to source code was needed to make him the hacker he became]
Steve Yegge's Emacs tips, and Phil Sung's Emacs tips
