Interview: Steve McIntyre, Debian Project Leader (ComputerWorldUK)
ComputerWorldUK has an
interview with Steve McIntyre, the recently elected Debian Prioject
Leader. "Debian is sometimes criticised as being for hobbyists
despite evidence that it's used by some very serious organisations for some
massive deployments. Do you think the Debian project has some work to do in
articulating its enterprise credentials? I think that there's always
scope for us to do more on that front. There will always be some users who
won't believe in Debian as an option for the enterprise just because we're
not directly backed by a large corporation, and that will be a difficult
attitude to change. However, I know of lots of companies today that will
provide paid support for Debian where it's required, and we already have a
fine reputation for stability. I think that the next trick is to start
making more of a positive impact directly in the "Enterprise" space with
positive press exposure and good reviews."
