Cringely: You said there was an event in 1996 that "galvanized the core team into action", what exactly did you mean? Hubbard: Well, you know, made them sit up and take note of their professional standards. Cringley: <pause> ...And that event was? Hubbard: Well, it was when Kim Culhan actually made us realize that people were out there *compiling* the thing themselves; I mean, that was really astonishing... but the *really* astonishing thing was that Kim was expecting the thing to *work*, as if the source tree itself was an "out of the box" product. Cringely: What did Terry say about that? Hubbard: Well, you've heard all about Terry; he did what you'd expect Terry to do; he wrote a three page article on "implied contracts in putting up source trees for public download"... <laugh> Cringely: <chuckle>... I suppose that's the sort of thing that got him called "the Ralph Nader of Software"... Hubbard: No, no that came later after the Netscape/Microsoft merger, just before they finally pushed S-Patent's through congress... ... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
