Talking With Debian's Branden Robinson

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the open-source-is-made-of-people dept.

v.ciaglia writes to tell us that TuxJournal has a great interview with Branden Robinson, one of the Debian maintainers. The article has a nice mix of personal and Debian specific questions. From the interview: "My primary focus as Debian Project Leader has been to try to resolve some long-standing infrastructural issues that have been frustrating our developers and users. My emphasis has been on internal processes because, as I said above, I think we need to be prepared for more growth. I am very happy to speak at conferences and with the press about Debian, but fundamentally I think Debian sells itself. Because of that, I want to make sure that we're "ready to ship" -- ready to meet the demands of our users."

    Haha! Two comments and already the server is not responding. They must be running Debian on that thing, *LOL*

  4. No mention of Ubuntu? by marcushnk · · Score: 5, Funny

    I wonder if that's now a clause in his interview contracts:
    I will not talk about Ubuntu.
    Do not ask me about Ubuntu.
    If you force me to listen to a question about Ubuntu I will stick my fingers in my ears like this and go "LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa!" :-P

    I chose Gentoo because it's far more agile than Debian in many respects.

    Yeah, you can hardly keep up with the bleeding-edge bugs and configuration changes.
