Inspiration
On 18 September 2007, the Computer Scientist Randy Pausch made his farewell lecture at Carnegie Mellon.
The footage of the speech is available on YouTube and quickly became a video with a high number of hits.
The success of the video resulted in a book titled "The Last Lecture".
Randy Pausch died on July 25, 2008.
The ALICE BRAZIL 2010 event was inspired by the Randy's book.
