So in the grand tradition of the list posts that have seemingly become all the rage lately, I thought I’d contribute my offering of what I admire about some of the regulars in the #linux community. If your name is not mentioned, fear not, for sequels to this are as likely as sequels to the Left Behind series.
Which is to say, undesirable yet probable.
- whiprush - GNOME/Firefox/Ubuntu cheerleader and Glee Club President A-1. Jorge’s ability to deadpan a nervous breakdown conveys a palpable feeling that he’s so damaged by the presence of non-GNOME software in the world that he’s practically submissively urinating. Also, abuses schweeb.
- greenfly - published author, perl monk, has the ability to cause 3d6 points of damage due to regexp insanity exposure. Also, abuses schweeb.
- stonetable - our fearless leader. Capable, intelligent, determined, and a heck of a nice guy to boot. Has ability to ban your ass. Also, abuses schweeb.
- Xyzzy - distributed software guru. King of Obsolete Hardware. Nickname is ZORK reference, which makes him a demigod in my view. Also, abuses schweeb.
- orca-emu-drpetwar - convinces me that no matter how bad my life is, someone else is still trying to convince their mother that it’s not genetic material on the floor. Also, abuses schweeb.
- truck - answered the call to serve our country despite knowing better. Sticks to his guns, literally. Also, abuses schweeb.
- cikkolata - evil webstandards unicode goddess. High Priestess of the Shovel Cult. Uses perl, gratuitiously abuses those injuring the Queen’s English. Also, abuses schweeb.
- goatboy - King of All Things Ubuntu. Fixed my system when a malevolent package tried to bone me in the behind. Also, abuses schweeb.
- syndicate - fellow liberal! Knows more about things than you’d suspect, and is a long-suffering victim of the Vast Female Conspiracy. Cooler than you’d suspect. Also, abuses schweeb.
- schweeb - young and enthusiastic, LDAP is his bitch. Also, abuses himself more than any of us could possibly manage.
