Meet Apache Software Foundation VP Rich Bowen (Video)

Apache is behind a huge percentage of the world's websites, and the Apache Software Foundation is the umbrella organization that provides licensing and stucture for open source projects ranging from the Apache Web server to Apache OpenOffice to small utilities that aren't household names but are often important to a surprising number of people and companies. Most of us never get to meet the people behind groups like the Apache Software Foundation -- except today we tag along with Tim Lord at OSCON and chat with Apache Software Foundation Executive Vice President Rich Bowen -- who is also Red Hat's OpenStack Community Liason. (Alternate Video Link) Update: 07/30 22:23 GMT by T : Note that Bowen formerly served as Slashdot sister site SourceForge's Community Manager, too.

    I've already met him.

    He's one of the founders of the Lexington Perl Mongers group. (aka bluegrass.pm).

    Of course, he moved in the late 1990s or so to work for some web server group. .... and damned if I'm going to install flash for some video crap.
