Interview: Sam Leffler of the FreeBSD Foundation
During last weekend's Southern California Linux Expo 5x, Sam Leffler of the FreeBSD Project and FreeBSD Foundation and "old school" hacker from the UC Berkeley Computer Systems Research Group (where the original Berkeley Software Distribution was developed) took some time to explain to me what the Foundation actually does, and the kind of work it has fostered. We also chatted briefly about the current status of FreeBSD, and the degree to which Apple contributes to the Project.
In addition to the FreeBSD Foundation, are you able to speak for the FreeBSD Project as well?
Sam Leffler: Well I'm not sure that anyone can speak for the Project, I mean -- it's like any open source project. It's full of individuals. I participate in the Project -- I'm an active developer in the group.
What did you develop for FreeBSD most recently?
