We won and we didn’t notice – a conversation with Jeremy Allison of Samba

[ Thanks to An Anonymous Reader for
this link. ]

“Jeremy Allison is a steelworker’s son from Sheffield in South
Yorkshire and a Samba developer who has lived in California for
twenty years or more, but who has retained much of the accent,
humour and politics of his youth.

“He was in the UK during the recent riots and “got to enjoy them
first hand”, but says he doesn’t miss much about England other than
the company of his family and friends and an occasional hankering
for a jar of Branston Pickle or a tin of baked beans; the kind of
things you don’t imagine you’ll miss until you are living somewhere
else.

“In California the sun always shines and he is paid to work on
the things he would be working on anyway: coding and debugging
Samba.”
