I for one would be interested to hear what the team behind Linux Voice has to say. Especially about the "split" from Linux Format, their unique (in a very positive way) business model, and their thoughts on how the Free/Open Source, err, "movement" has progressed (it has, right?) since they started.

No, I am not affiliated with those chaps in any way, but I am quite the fan, and Linux Voice is my favourite GNU/Linux magazine.

Best regards,
HMW

Yes, I noticed afterwards. Thanks. Great interview, by the way!
I still recommend RMS (there are new things threatening FLOSS and corporation dangers by giants like Red Hat (systemD intrusion / reduction of freedom of choice), Google, etc.), and Bill "Texstar" Reynolds (creator of PCLinuxOS).

I haven't been back thru the interviews yet -- I notice rms gets mentioned often, and Linus Torvalds, and I think those two are excellent and relevant interview candidates.

I think the really critical resource in interviews is, what is the Big Picture? Where are we at? Where are we going? The technology is escalating like a July 4 rocket that implausibly starts for outer space and is going to get there. But to what effect?

Seems to me, one of the rarely mentioned core issues, is an issue of *culture*. Not the technology, but how we as individuals not Giant Companies, see and experience and use this culture and live and work in it. There are other such culture groups around, astronomy and science fiction fandom come to mind. I don't see that these days, we have anything like that, but enough years have passed since those first computer kits appeared, that we could. I feel, we *should,* that we need to. And I think a lively series of interviews *set into text* could be progressive and helpful for this. We need the *right* Big Picture, not just any old random Big Picture that we happen to arrive at; and a lot of good interviews, set out where they are available and stay available, could be very helpful for this.
