“Olinux: How does it feel to be a Linux Evangelist and live
professionally for the cause?

“Dibona: It undoubtably the coolest job I’ve ever had. I also
get to work with some of the coolest people in computing, both here
at VA and in the Linux world at large. I consider myself very
lucky.”

“Olinux: What are the main personal achievements on your career?
cite some highlights? did you get any awards as an individual or
representing a company?”

“Dibona: Great career acheivments would include my
adminisstration of VA’s community outreach program during our
upublic offering. I felt it went really well and am proud for my
part in it. AT VA I’ve had the chance to work with the different
departments and help staff them with talented smart people. Other
than that, I recieved an award from Linux Journal for my role as
co-editor of the book “Open Sources” and I was able to help the EFF
with the CDVD cases in California and New York. Also, I’ve really
enjoyed my work with Linux International.”
