Currently I am looking for suggestions, which people
should be interviewed
first.
You should have gotten the big list from Stephan Binner that Pascal referred
to, but as Benjamin Weber pointed out on IRC the other day, they might become
outdated before being published if we do too many at once.
I think Pascal made a good point about alternating between community people
and Novell people. I'd like to suggest that we take this "diversity
management" even further, so as to make sure that we cover a diverse section
of the following characteristics:
* Gender - male, female, maybe more..
* Age - young, old, middleaged, teenagers even perhaps
* Types of contributions - hackers, packagers, artists, mirror admins, server
admins, translators, documentors, marketers, etc.
* Geography - I believe we have active contributors in just about all
countries and continents. Especially the "emerging markets" such as Asia
where we have Cyberorg among others is interesting.
By covering a broad range of people these interviews could not only serve to
make us know each other better, but also as inspiration to potential
contributors who might think: "I'm too old", "I'm too young",
"I'm too
busy", "I'm not a hacker, how would I ever be able to help"
Diversity might also make them more interesting to read ;-)
I support Coolo as top contender to be #1, if he's not too busy these days ;-)
His "People behind KDE"-interview is getting really outdated...
