Ask Apache Software Chairman Greg Stein

Here's a man who obviously has his finger on the pulse of open source software development. I mean, who hasn't heard of Apache? His work history is interesting, too: He's moved from Microsoft to CollabNet to Google. And he's not shy about speaking his mind about open source, as shown in this ZDNet blog entry. Please try to confine yourself to one question per post. (If you have more than one question, post more than once.) We'll send 10 of the highest-moderated questions to Greg tomorrow and run his answers when we get them back.

  1. Why... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why do you find it neccesary to help companies like CentOS hack rural town websites?

  2. My question by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Funny

    Can you slip a few "accidental" holes into 1.x so there's an excuse to bump the version number all the way to 1.3.37? Please?

  3. If he's the chairman, his title ought to be by cpt+kangarooski · · Score: 4, Funny

    Apache Chief.

    In which case I'd ask him two things. First, if he has any juicy gossip about the other Superfriends. And second, if he could have other powers instead of the one he's got, would he want them, and if so, what would they be?

    Greg,

    Have you ever looked in the mirror in the morning? Seriously dude, you look like a roadie for Ratt. I think I saw you behind a guitar center once drink a beer on top of a Camaro? Seriously, what gives with the hair, clothes, etc? Someone needs to open source some style and ftp it to you pronto I guess. Take care of yourself.

    Hey, Greg... why did you choose the dorky online handle, "deathblade"? ;-)

    Dear Mr. Taylor,

    Welcome to Slashdot. We are proud to have you here, Mr. Taylor. If you could find a way to better format your post, perhaps using a Comic Sans font, it would be more readable.

    Though you may not realize it, "Why do you find it neccesary to help companies like CentOS hack rural town websites?" is quite the funny joke at this time. You see, this article pertains to Apache, the software that was being used to host your web site on your CentOS system.

    Also, could you stop using the term "ignorance"? It seems like a pot and kettle thing at this point.

    Now you may not find this funny, but take heart in knowing that someday you will look back on this and laugh, and we will finally be laughing with you and not at you.

    On the other hand, you may be right about that "fish" thing. Perhaps you could get the FBI to look into that.

    On a personal note, how are things in Tuttle today?

    Yours truly,
    Anonymous Coward

    Being the chairman of such an important and successful project such as apache, how much money do you sleep on at night with how many beautiful women?
