Thanks Simon for this one:
Eric Raymond, publisher of the "Halloween Documents" and author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar, says "the open source revolution is basically on course, the enterprise has embraced Linux, and these days very few people now need to be convinced that the open source methodology can create best-of-breed software". Here's an interview with Eric who talks about UNIX programming and the open source revolution.

OS News has posted an interview with Owen Taylor and Havoc Pennington from Red Hat's UI Team
"Arguably, the new unified UI on Red Hat 8 was the talk of the town for the whole summer since the Limbo betas. Today we talk with two of the leading people behind Red Hat's enhanced usability and UI found on 8.0-Psyche, Havoc Pennington (also known for his work on the Metacity window manager) and Owen Taylor (lots of cool stuff on XFree's side). We discuss about XFree and its capabilities, about Linux's ability to fullfil a modern desktop for every user, about the unification of Qt and GTK+ and more."

Linux and Main has put up an interview with Dirk Mueller (KDE) and Jeff Waugh (GNOME)
"The release managers of two projects, at least one of which is used by most Linux desktop users, were kind enough to endure an email interview by Linux and Main. They are KDE's Dirk Mueller and GNOME's Jeff Waugh. They are different personalities from different parts of the planet. Their answers are remarkable more for their similarities than for their differences."

InfoWorld has put up another interview with Sun. This time with Sun's CEO Scott McNealy.
InfoWorld: With your drive to adopt Linux on Intel servers, it kind of sounds like you just discovered 32-bit computing. Sun was a pioneer in 32-bit computing, so why now the emphasis there after pushing the value of 64-bit computing for the past several years?
McNealy: The first version of Sparc processors were 32 bit. But the whole Sun strategy was a 64-bit architecture, so we went 100 percent to 64 bit. We just kind of forgot. We didn't forget the 16-bit, 8-bit or 4-bit environment with Java Cards, ME [Micro Edition], and SE [Standard Edition] and all the rest of it. But what snuck up on us is that servers moved out of the server room. They moved out to the edge of the server room and out to the edge of the network.

InfoWorld: What is the significance of Sun's Linux announcements at the show?
Schwartz: We are [jumping] feet first into the Linux community. Even though we have been [there] for an awfully long time, now we are actually going to back it up with hardware [the LX50 server].

OS News has posted an interview with Xandros' VP, Mr. Michael A. Bego
"2. Corel Linux really seemed to be modeling directly for a Windows user. Are you still doing this?
Michael Bego: Yes, certainly, we're looking directly at the 99% of desktop users that are familiar with the Windows desktop, the look & feel. First we want to attract them to the alternative and then we can gradually introduce them to the neat benefits of Linux. "

MozillaQuest has posted an interview with Holger Dryoff, head of SuSE Inc
"While Holger Dryoff noted that he could not comment on any future products, he did mention that SuSE usually releases a new version about every six months. If you care to read between the lines there and do the math folks, you likely can look for SuSE Linux 8.1 sometime in October 2002.
Also, the SuSE Linux immediately previous to the current SuSE Linux, 8.0, was SuSE Linux 7.3. It shipped in October 2001. That's another good clue that SuSE Linux 8.1 will hit the streets in October 2002."

"We also discussed Mandrake's involvement with the Linux Standard Base (LSB) project, non-involvement with United Linux, and Mandrake dropping Netscape from its Linux distribution and replacing it with Mozilla 1.0. Although Mandrake 9.0 will not be fully LSB compliant, Mandrake is moving in the direction of full compliance with the LSB. Mandrake will not participate in United Linux. And MandrakeSoft has dropped Netscape from its Mandrake Linux distribution."

tinyminds.org has posted an interview with Daniel Robbins, founder and Chief Architect of the Gentoo Linux project:
TM: One common complaint from users who are considering using Gentoo is that the install seems too difficult. Are there any plans to create a more streamlined version of the install, or do you plan on staying with the "shell and 14 pages of instructions" approach?
DR: Yes; we have a beta Anaconda installer and a beta live CD installer that uses Debian's "discover" hardware detection code. We also have a developer working on an in-house installer. So expect some nice things in the future
