Chris DiBona on the (Computational) Value of Sharing

,----[ Quote ]
| I’ve been a programmer since I was 12 years old, so I always knew I would get 
| into computers, computer science, or information technology. I started using 
| Linux when I was in college back in 1995. Then as my professional career 
| developed I realized I really liked Linux and the ideas behind it, and I 
| liked the ideals behind open source and free software. That lead me to where 
| I am today. Right now I’m Google’s open source program manager. What that 
| means is that I monitor open source compliance for all the open source 
| software that we use with the company. I also make sure that stuff that we 
| release is under a proper open source license and, in the case of content, is 
| under a proper Creative Commons license.

Ross Turk on the SourceForge Community Awards

| OSCON 2009 is in full swing, which means you can't walk more than 10 feet 
| without tripping over a well-known geek. We’ve just spoken to Ross Turk, 
| Director of Community at SourceForge, ahead of the Community Choice Awards on 
| Thursday night. Here’s what he had to say on who he’d have chosen, had it not 
| been completely unethical and against all his better principles...
