Linux.com: The Brad Hughes interview

Brad Hughes…is the creator of the Blackbox window
manager, built with C++, and sharing no common code with any other
window manager.

“Linux.com: When did you start the BlackBox project?”

“Brad Hughes: I started Blackbox back in July 1997, with no real
intentions of it being a “project.” I still don’t consider it a
“project.” I’m the only person that really does any serious coding
on blackbox, but there are people out there like the Themes.org
people, John Kennis, Jason Kasper, and others who make up the
Blackbox community.”

“Linux.com: What was your motivation to write BlackBox?”

“Brad Hughes: Just to learn.”
