Learn About Ximian and Gnome From Nat Friedman

Posted by Roblimo on from the one-of-evolution's-creators dept.

This week's interview guest is Nat Friedman, co-founder and vice president of product development for Ximian. Nat is also co-chair of The Gnome Foundation, and an all-around nice guy. Post your questions (one per post, please) for Nat below. We'll forward 10 of the highest-moderated ones to him, and will post his answers (verbatim except for HTML formatting) within the next week.

    How about this question:

    Mr. Friedman,
    Do you think that people should be free to run their own website however they want, or are the pathetic 14-year-olds here justified in all of this pissing and moaning about editor moderation?

    Enquiring minds want to know...

      Something to keep in mind:
      1.) Slashdot isn't a hobby (although they very badly want it to be), its a business, and (parent company is) owned publicly.
      2.) Slashdot is all about "anti-censoring" and "open source" and "sharing" and "free as in beer", but don't practice what they preach due to their moderation practice.
      3.) The users make the business in a "community website".
      4.) The way some editors treat their users, I have ever right to piss and moan (and I'm well above 14, thank you).

      Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
