Arch Linux newsletter: Featuring an interview with Aaron Griffin.

kensai · 2007-10-25 15:30:08

As you see in the topic, for the next Arch Linux newsletter there will be an interview with the man himself, the overlord of Arch Linux Aaron Griffin, better known as phrakture on the forums and IRC. What is so special about this interview? Well, I'm not going to ask the questions myself, is you, the community that will ask the questions. You guys post the questions in this thread and we will choose the top standing 10 questions to ask Aaron Griffin, the answers will be published in the next Arch Linux Newsletter scheduled for release on November 5th, 2007.

The guidelines:

* You guys get to post as many questions as you like, in only one post.
* If you forgot to include any question please just edit your post and add them, I will be reviewing every post edited with new content.
* Please, don't respond to others people questions, neither comment on them, I want this thread to be kept clean.
* The questions can be related to anything you would like to know about Aaron Griffin.
* Phrakture can post any question he would like Aaron Griffin to answer.

Thanks in advance for following the guidelines. I hope you guys enjoy this.

EDIT: Reverted last guideline sense, now is the other way around.

Why did you choose Arch?

What is your preferred DE/WM?

If there is no Arch, which distro would you use?

What distros did you use before Arch?

Do you still use Windows?

Where do you see Arch Linux in 5 years?

foxbunny · 2007-10-25 15:48:28

What do you thing about the rapid expansion of the user community lately?

Does a larger community affect the way you think about Arch or the way you work on it?

What do you like most about Arch? And in developing Arch?

Do you plan to expand the development team?

Cerebral · 2007-10-25 15:49:41

So.. many... joke... questions - I must resist the temptation! I suppose if I had any real pressing questions I could ask him directly, but I'll add this into the fray:

How do you view work on Arch? As a job, an enjoyable pass-time, or something different?

Can you really lift a car over your head?

When did you learn to fly?

What is your favorite kind of taco?

Dusty · 2007-10-25 16:03:16

Having filled his shoes for a few weeks now, what's been your biggest realization about Judd's position that you never thought about before?

When did you learn to fly?
Edit:: crap, that's already been asked.

How does your honorable sidekick phrik deal with all this attention that suddenly shifted towards yourself, isn't he envious?

raymano · 2007-10-25 16:29:54

Which part of Arch, if any, would you like to change to make it more inline with the KISS principle?

lucke · 2007-10-25 16:36:30

What's your opinion on moomins?

rson451 · 2007-10-25 16:51:55

What part of the arch community do you feel is most lacking? What do you think us archers could do to help that specific detail?

Mikko777 · 2007-10-25 17:04:53

Do you fear HeMan?

Cerebral · 2007-10-25 17:21:36

Do you try? Oh-my-god do you try?

How do skeletons go about attaining muscle mass?

kensai · 2007-10-25 18:19:00

Do you own leather pants or any other item you bought to impress a girl and now want to sell on an auction site?

Jerry · 2007-10-25 22:58:13

0. Do you have a plan laid out for the community in the years to come? If so, what are they?

1. Do you plan on changing skeletor soon? if not... can I be He-Man?

2. Does She-ra makes you... you know! Does she rattle the bones or a bone?

3. What about official sound? Face of the month? Motto? Quote, Mission, Vision? Anthem - can steve vai play the guitars for that?

4. Are we needing extra devs, TU's at the moment?

5. Are we accepting outside funding from companies that are interested to help, or even from a billionaire philanthropist? Are you a billionaire or a philanthropist?

6. When you see a partly filled glass of water is it half filled or half empty?

7. pacman is the best package I've ever tried in terms of being simple to use, are we seeing some radical changes being done with it?

8. Archlinux has "optimized for i686" one of its better points, Will this change in, say an event, that 64bit will be the more common proc?

thanks!

Developing a stable ISO image for a rolling release like Arch must be challenging at best. What's your impression now of the decision to release images more frequently?

What role does Arch take in your journey towards becoming an astronaut?

stonecrest · 2007-10-26 01:48:00

Why is stonecrest your favorite Archlinux user?

peets · 2007-10-26 02:08:16

What's your problem(s)?

More seriously, can you briefly define what "The Arch Way" means to you? (please say more than yes/no)

Jessehk · 2007-10-26 02:16:10

In what direction do you see Arch taking? Do you want to see more commercialization of Arch (in the form of more formal structure, etc), or do you want it to stay as a fun pastime for relatively experienced users?

murffatksig · 2007-10-26 02:55:58

What flaws do you see in Arch that you would like to see improved?

Star Wars or Star TreK?

lilsirecho · 2007-10-26 04:10:52

Do you think that archlinux will reach "critical mass" and thereby lose the "kiss" principle?

clarence · 2007-10-26 06:20:38

What within the universe of Archness would you like to change in the immediate future?

shining · 2007-10-26 06:52:03

What is the most stupid question an arch user wanted to ask you?

(I hope that's mine)
