Real quality means making sure that people are proud of the code they write, that they're involved and taking it personally.

Part of doing Linux was that I had to communicate a lot more instead of just being a geek in front of a computer.

Once you realize that documentation should be laughed at, peed upon, put on fire, and just ridiculed in general, then, and only then, have you reached the level where you can safely read it and try to use it to actually implement a driver.

I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.

Fairly cheap home computing was what changed my life.

I don't go to conferences quite as much as I used to: having a child and movin away from the university leaves me with less time, but I've tried to balance things out - not just spending time with Linux all the time, but having a real job and a real life at the same time.

One of the reasons I like open source is that it allows people to work on the parts they are good at, and I don't mean just on a technical level; some people are into the whole selling and support, and that's just not me.
