Interview/Article On John "Maddog" Hall

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the reigning-king-of-Linux-advocates dept.

mister_nate sent us a really cool interview with Jon "Maddog" Hall. I've said this before, but Maddog is the perfect Linux advocate. A lot of Slashdot readers (and I definitely include myself in this statement) can learn a lot by watching the way Jon handles Linux Advocacy. It's amazing.

  1. A Linux movie? by planet_hoth · · Score: 5
    Did anyone else catch the part of the interview where this was mentioned:

    ...Vancouver, where MGM is filming a movie about an open-source hero battling a Pacific Northwest software monopoly

    ???

    I can just see it now;

    It's a deadly game of cat-and-mouse between a suave European programmer/secret agent and a dweeby billionare who's half-man, half-machine and bent on world domination at any cost. Linus Torvalds is... The Torvinator!!!

    I think they should cast Tom Hanks as Linus and Quentin Tarantino as Bill Gates. But that's just me.
