A talk with ESR

60

Author: JT Smith

GovTech.net interviews Open Source evangelist Eric S. Raymond: “A few
months
ago, I was
talking to
Raymond
on the
phone,
when I
called a
computer
criminal a
hacker’
instead of
a ‘cracker.’ He hung up on me. I bet
I’m not the first. I suspect that
somewhere there is a ‘Survivors of
ESR’ support group for journalists.
They probably have T-shirts and
everything. It took more than a few
e-mails to smooth things over.”
