Segment Two- Happy Birthday Linux Today
Tonight we will have a conversation with Dave
Whitinger one of the original founders of Linux Today in a
discussion about the roots of the Linux Communities oldest Newslink
resource. If you do not know what Linux Today is, you certainly do
not know enough about Linux to know about The Linux Show. So its
sort of silly to talk about it here.
If we go way way back Dave did a stint at Red Hat. Dave worked
as the manager of the technical support department of Red Hat
Software back in 1997. After leaving Red Hat, he co-founded Linux
Today with Dwight Johnson. In his days at Linux Today, Dave handled
just about everything imaginable at Linux Today. In addition to
posting stories, he handled all the web development, perl and PHP
programming, system and network administration, and any technical
challenges that came along. In late 99 LT was sold to the present
owners, internet.com (presently known as Jupiter Media) and Dave
went his merry way.
After Linux Today, Dave participated in the development of
several well known ventures including Linsight, Atipa and Linux
Weekly News. Dave is a very cool guy who has survived the ups and
downs of the IT universe, and has both the scars and laurels to
prove it. Dave is presently the founder of StandardOut,
Inc a web site development and hosting service company.
These days he does private consulting of Linux and PHP
development.
Dave lives in South/Central Texas (Kerrville). At 27 years old
(a mere child to have done all he has) he has been married for 7
years with 3 children, the latest one born 2 weeks ago at home!
When not doing Linux stuff, he is usually digging around in his
garden.
We have also invited Brian Proffitt of Linux Today to talk about
the future of the portal.
