The Age Interviews Linux Advocate Rick Moen

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the stories-from-the-trenches dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Age interviews Rick Moen, a software generalist from the Linux community and an advocate for Open Source software." Rick's been a real catalyst for the Linux community over the years, helping organize the LINC Expo, Windows Refund Day, Linux birthday parties, and more. An entertaining read.

    Perhaps he could assist us in a "Linux on the Commodore" campaign. I know Junis would really appreciate the Divx ;-) and xviD codecs on his commodore so he wouldn't have to download the Baywatch VCDs every week.

    He is mesmerized by open source.

    Rick used to be a BSD guy. Rick, come back to the light! We need to rescue you from the dark side of the source. linux is NIH to the nth degree and is setting back the progress of computer science. BSD forever!
