Technology Review Profiles Miguel de Icaza

prostoalex writes "Technology Review has a feature story on Miguel de Icaza, currently Novell VP of Product Technology, but more known as the leader of Gnome and Mono projects. Miguel is the man Don Box would like to see joining Microsoft for his "amazing amount of raw energy". If you read through the Technology review article, you will see that de Icaza was actually turned down by Microsoft at some point."

His Microsoft fetish is very suspicious I agree especially considering how much money Microsoft has t o influence open source leaders such as him.

This is why I believe the leadership should be completely decentralized and we should never idolize people like him. He should not be treated any different than any other good coder. Keith Packard is just as smart or maybe smarter, theres people all over the world who do what Miguel does and who produce better code and yet Miguel gets credit for producing stuff nobody cares about like Mono, or producing stuff and not using it or finishing it.
