Deacon: Musings on Starting an Open-Source ProjectJul 26, 2010, 19:07 (0 Talkback[s])(Other stories by Dave Rea) [ Thanks to Dave for this link. ] "I've been using open-source software since the late-nineties – I can still remember the intrigued excitement I felt when my friend Seth first told me about a free system called "Linux", and showed me the LRP box humming along in his attic.
