Eric Raymond's words helped change the world (Cathedral essay). He inspires me every time I read his work, sometimes I disagree, often agree, usually both but he never fails to get me thinking in new ways. IMHO Eric is one of the elders and I pay tithe to this man who I respect and learn from. I value his forthrightness, especially in these times of chilling effects - he head is firmly above the parapet and of course he takes flak. Eric's list of Open Source & Free Software contributions http://www.catb.org/esr/software.html http://www.catb.org/esr/software.html For me personally, it is an honour and a priviledge to be on the same planet at the same time as Eric S Raymond - super stoked to fund his work - his work merits it.
