Tridge Speaks Out

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the samba-man-speaketh dept.

Robert McMillan from Linux Magazine posted an interview with Tridge, of Samba and Tivo fame. He's one of the most important folks in all of Linux, and this interview is worth a read. He covers a lot of good material like crap code, bonobo, and what stuff in the kernel is innovative. He also talks a bit about what he might do after Microsoft drops SMB from future versions of windows.

  1. Yet Another Unemployed Programmer (TM)? by heroine · · Score: 4, Interesting

    As far as I know VA I.O.U. eliminated all their programmers, including the Australian group. Conspicuously absent from the interview is #1 whether he's employed and whether open source projects contributed anything positive to his employment prospects and #2 how he's handled liability for the use of Samba.

  2. No TiVo questions by displacer · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why didn't they ask him about tivo? They mention his Tivo hacking in the into but then, leave the readers hanging.
