The photo hints that Brother Raymond, is a wild and crazy guy! Possibly related to brother Laz?
I heard a similar thing is happening in the SciFi community (of all places).
My laugh of the day!
How would the claim that Linus Torvalds engaged in retrogressive sexual behavior hurt his reputation?
Is he trying to get on the board of the Modern Language Association or get a job at National Public Radio?
Eric Raymond is a hoot! I traveled across town to hear him at a forum over 15 years ago. He weaves anthropology and software methodology together in a very interesting fashion. His essay “The Cathedral and the Bazaar” is a very good read from a political and software development viewpoint.
He has been at the forefront of the open source debates where he is firmly in the camp that says that software developers should be able to make money from their products. He is a strong open source advocate, but is concerned that some open source folks want to cast the role of the movement as an attack on corporate America.
Didn’t work, because they couldn’t find any good-looking feminists.

Just as the past .. So is the future.
Sex built the infrastructure in the early days..
Who profits best and the most from ‘sex’ and the sale thereof..
Can you hear me now. Oh babby babby. Yes!!
Code and connections .. Any port in a storm.. Yada yada..
Technology is a two edged sword.
There is a much better article here: http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2015/11/04/feminists-are-trying-to-frame-linus-torvalds-for-sexual-assault-claims-open-source-industry-veteran/, including some interesting links to /r/programming/ about increasing pressure by SJW's to destroy the open-source community, as they have already destroyed so many other coder venues.
| Nor are incidents in which women have complained that the technology industry's culture is rather macho. In 2013, Sarah Sharp, who then ran USB-compatibility efforts in the Linux kernel. Sharp urged Torvalds to stop verbally abusing fellow kernel developers and encourage more civil conversation with developers of any gender. That complaint was widely applauded and the kernel development community responded, in part, by creating a "Code of Conflict" outlining acceptable behaviour. Sharp, however, eventually quit kernel development because she felt the kernel community's response was toothless and ineffective. Torvalds defence has always been that his ire is directed at bad code, not its authors. Womens groups retort that a culture that permits such abuse is not welcoming to anyone, and especially hostile to women. That culture is therefore held to be unhelpful for an industry in which skilled workers are nearly always in demand, either for paid employment or volunteer roles. |
Me thinks this is a geek fantasy
