lisah writes "NewsForge's Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier has been reporting from OSCON all week and wrote a great wrap up of the event. He even had the foresight to take along a video camera while rubbing elbows with some of what Brockmeier calls the 'leading minds in open source.' Caught on tape: Kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman, Python creator Guido van Rossum, Jeff Waugh of Canonical, Greg Lund-Chaix of OSL, and OSCAMP 2006 organizer Brandon Sanders."

  1. A thousand peers, not luminaries 'at the top.' by Bing+Tsher+E · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Open Source needs to be about broad teams of user/developers. Not about luminaries and celebrities.

    The heros of OS are an inspiration, but I think they'd rather have a team of peers to work with than a sort of paparazzi experience.
