GNU-Friends Interviews

Jonas Öberg writes "GNU-Friends is doing a series of interviews with long-time free software hackers that I think people would be interested in. Check out interviews with Arnold Robbins, Karl Berry, Andrew L. Moore, Guido van Rossum, David MacKenzie and Chet Ramey. More to come, but that should keep people occupied for a few minutes." The GNU-Friends should have a show right after Superfriends.

      That's right, and GNU/Joey, GNU/Chandler, GNU/Rachel...

      Admit it. Without the GNU tools, those people would be nothing at all.

      Only if you are willing to freely share any modifications you make to GNU/Friends

      then it sure won't be GNU/Girlfriend, that is something that won't be shared

    I read the interviews, and they don't tell you how to make GNU friends. We're stuck with our old D&D playing, zit faced, smelly friends until we can afford that 'vette.

    Unfortunately, the number of free sofware hackers who are women is very, very small, on the order of 1%, and almost none of these women has any leadership role. However, there is one woman who would make an excellent interview subject, and who does have a leadership role (at the Gnome Foundation): Telsa Gwynne.

    She herself would probably deny being a "free software hacker", though her testing and documentation work is critical to making the Gnome desktop a high-quality product.
