“Bowie J. Poag…is a Computer Science major at the
University of Arizona in Tucson. He is the project manager and
founder of Propaganda, the Linux community’s source of seamless
background tiles, and System 12, an upcoming resource for Linux
applications developers.“
“Linux.com: When did the crazy idea for Propaganda start?”
“Bowie J. Poag: Around October of ’98 or so, if I remember
correctly. I was looking to start a project on my own to help
spread the word about Linux, and attract people to the platform.
Things started to come together after a fair amount of work in
November of that same year.”
