Journal Real World Stuff's Journal: What happened to Eric S. Raymond? 3

Journal by Real World Stuff on Tuesday February 06, 2007 @03:05PM

Researching F/OSS pioneer, Linux developer, author, and all around firebrand Eric Raymond, I'm less finding input from him regarding recent events and activities in the GNU/Linux community. I initially noticed his weblog "Armed and Dangerous" has not been updated since June 2006. Serching various internet channels, I find he is not engaing in the recent devlopments in the F/OSS community. Is he away preparing his next novel, or is ESR just relaxing and reaping the fruits of his labors?

Why is it that for over 8 months nobody's given enough of a shit to answer than question?

Not having any information, I can take a guess about what happened to him. Eaten by a grue.

He'll be at P-Con this year, as always. http://penguicon.org/ [penguicon.org] if you're interested. Best Linux/Sci-Fi/Gamer convention out there. I'll be there again this year.
