Ask ReiserFS Project Leader Hans Reiser

Posted by Roblimo on from the not-the-kind-of-journal-you-keep-on-Slashdot dept.

Hans Reiser leads a successful Free Software project that has attracted plenty of attention, many users, and even that Holy Grail of so many who have started their own Free or Open Source projects: Big-time funding from DARPA, SuSE, and others. How did he do it? What's his advice for other project leaders? Ask him! And ask him any other question you have in mind. Please stick to one question per post, and avoid questions that can be answered with a few minutes' worth of research. We'll publish Mr. Reiser's answers as soon as he gets them back to us.

    Uh, I'm not sure you want to ask a question on which your boss's decision or your job depends in a Slashdot interview thread...

    A built-in chance to lose data?! Mindboggling. Absolutely retarded. And I had this impression that Hans Reiser was actually a smart hacker. Well, thanks for the information anyhow.

    what fud?

    all i see is a plain, matter-of-fact notification of a license violation.

    reading the thread (which you apparently hoped i wouldn't) I see some less-than-civil replies from debian listmembers, and an apparent admission by other members that debian was indeed in apparent license violation.
