Larry Augustin Interview

Posted by justin++ on from the so-when's-the-ipo?-:) dept.

Larry Augustin was the subject of a recent news.com interview. Larry touches on issues like hiring important developers, the importance of linux.com, and various other things. He also mentions briefly that the IA-64 port has picked up the pace, and that VA plans to go public in the "near term rather than long term".

  1. Good business practice by Jonas+�berg · · Score: 2
    I think Larry has a very good point in that by doing what's good for the community, the company will in turn become more successful. This is really rather good business practice because a lot of the people who are using the GNU/Linux system today are people who can have an influence when their company will upgrade their servers. So if they remember that VA has done a lot of good for the community, then I'm positive that they will turn to VA for their needs.

    As usual, best of luck.
