Well Gordon has kindly agreed to do an interview (as mentioned below) -
could people please include "[Gordon Matzigkeit Interview]" in the
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:

a) what editor do you use
b) do you use revision control systems of some kind, and have you any
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. :)
