Hard questions

Thanks for your comments

I agree that there were some hard questions in that interview but I disagree that is was biased or overly negative.

The questions below were also asked which clearly gave the interviewee an opportunity to both discuss his vision and hopes for the organisation:

Why did you take on the role of Debian project leader, and what do you hope to bring to the development of the operating system?

Debian author Ian Murdoch was also a founding director of the Open Source Initiative. Why do you think he saw the need for a new flavour of Linux with the particular look, feel and structure of Debian?

Debian's software-development methodology hinges around the provision of precompiled software "packages" that effectively form reusable components. How do you vet newly proposed packages, and what type of components would you like to see developed in the future

Debian will be 15 years old this August. Where would you like to see the project in another decade and a half?
