his methods embodied his whole approach to things in general, and
computing in particular.

“Pope (below) runs the Melbourne Linux User Group, a LUG that
caters more to hobbyist users than industry types, a cosy set of
people who meet on the final Wednesday of the month for a talk and
a drink; at times, they forget the formal talk and share their
Linux experiences over a snifter or two.”
