[TriLUG] Interview Ideas

[Tim Jowers]

Hi Chess,

  First, spurious ; in link on page http://www.chessgriffin.com/

<a href="http;//www.linuxreality.com">Linux Reality podcast</a>

 Second, I authored a book on open source and determined Linux as a
platform with thousands
of apps is basically and fundamentally different than Windows or Mac.
So much is being done in
so many areas. As each app becomes mature and popular, Linux becomes
the clear platform of choice.
I'll try to think of something interesting.

My $.02,

Tim
