Richard Stallman\'s Personal Page
I'm looking for someone who would like to have a Foobar Mitzvah ceremony at the FSF's Libre Planet event in the Boston area next March. (The precise date is not yet certain.) In a Foobar Mitzvah ceremony, you chant lines from the GNU/Linux system source code. How to chant them is up to you. I am trying to make a list of the photos people like best , among those I have taken and posted here.

Added the ``On Management and the Maginot Line'' section, some insights about the usefulness of bazaars for exploring design space, and substantially improved the Epilog. I anatomize a successful open-source project, fetchmail, that was run as a deliberate test of the surprising theories about software engineering suggested by the history of Linux. I discuss these theories in terms of two fundamentally different development styles, the ``cathedral'' model of most of the commercial world versus the ``bazaar'' model of the Linux world. I show that these models derive from opposing assumptions about the nature of the software-debugging task. I then make a sustained argument from the Linux experience for the proposition that ``Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow'', suggest productive analogies with other self-correcting systems of selfish agents, and conclude with some exploration of the implications of this insight for the future of software.

Welcome to my piece of the Web. I maintain quite a lot of open-source software, FAQs, and HTML documents, so this site is rather complex. It's mostly validated HTML and light on the graphics, though.
