[ILUG] [Gordon Matzigkeit Interview]

[Guest, Ken]

Quick reminder to anybody interested in asking Gordon a few questions,
his website is at http://www.fig.org/gord/ ; he works on
debian-hurd and was [incorrectly] listed as a contributor to 267 
projects by the Free Software Survey.
Please be sure to include "[Gordon Matzigkeit Interview]" in the
subject line of your emails.

thanks


Ken

#Well Gordon has kindly agreed to do an interview (as mentioned 
#below) -

#subject line of their interview emails so my filter can catch them
#so as to make things a bit easier when it comes to sending them on
#to Gordon.

#To avoid repetition, here are Caolan's usual 20 questions that 
#always get
#asked:

#serious thoughts on the matter
#c) favorite language, c,c++, some half arsed scripting 
#language like perl
#(duck)
#d) X vs console 
#e) window manager / gnome / kde environment
#f) favorite hardware and os platform 
#g) did you ever attempt to write yet another 
#g.1) window manager
#g.2) widget set
#g.3) X replacement
#g.4) programming language
#g.5) operating system
#h) has anyone offered to pay you/hire you based upon your open source
#product ?
#i) what application or component is linux most lacking ?
#j) is that your first interview by anyone ?

##I don't mind being interviewed... I just hope you know that the Free
##Software Survey that was conducted recently was highly biased, and
##that I didn't contribute to those 267 projects individually.  Rather,
##they each included libtool as a part of their distribution, which I
##wrote.
##
##In reality, I've contributed to about 10 projects.
##
##But, as I said, an interview would be enjoyable. :)
