“We have interviewed Alfredo Kojima, the creator of
WindowMaker, one of the most popular window managers among
GNU/Linux users. This interview took place during an event
called Exposalt about operating systems at Federal University
Fluminense, Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro last weekend. Kojima was a key
speaker in the event where he delivered a lecture about the details
of his creation. OLinux’s staff caught him in a rare moment when he
gave us details about his work with WindowMaker….”
“OLinux: What are your main motivations and purposes developing
windowmaker?”
“Kojima: Learn to program using unix platform and better skills
in programming techniques. I had never thought that windowmaker
would reach the world, but I use to receive many e-mail with words
of support and motivation about my work. I recommend the use of
Linux but without any fireworks.”
