Jordan Hubbard Gives Last Intervew For Apple

Posted by pudge on from the we-need-to-find-someone-new-to-link-to dept.

acaben writes "MacSlash has posted what Jordan Hubbard says will be his last interview for Apple. Apple's Engineering Manager for the BSD Technology Group talks about the new BSDPorts initiative, his thoughts on working for Apple and Apple's Open Source strategy, and how Mac users new to Open Source can get involved and contribute to the community. He also gets delightfully geeky in comparing the differences between Darwin's VM envirnoment and FreeBSD's and explains that Darwin was built with things like working with Final Cut Pro in mind."

    gosh, he does sound hurt, our little AC, doesn't he?

    Think of JH's move to Apple as his opportunity to spread the gospel to a wider audience than FreeBSD (of all OS's).

    ....a much wider audience.

    I am a long-time Unix user. That means I need to have the Ctrl key to the left of the A key.
    As such a long-time Unix user, when you get down off of your soapbox, you will have no problem spending the ten seconds it takes to redo your keymappings.

    Then, you may eat your foot for a mid-afternoon snack.
