[19:10] <NMinker> I got into it in college, and, on my own, installed Ubuntu 8.04 on a VM,
[19:10] <NMinker> 10.10 was the first one I installed on a physical machine (that's when I started contributing)
[19:42] <NMinker> May I just say, I found Daniel's Packaging videos (on the UbuntuDev YouTube page) very useful
[19:43] <dholbach> thank NMinker :)
[19:46] <highvoltage> yeah they are awesome.
[19:50] <dholbach> who would be interested in helping to update them? :)
[19:52] <Faqtotum> I know we've moved on from the question "How did you get started in open source?" so I thought I'd answer it here instead. From a very early age, I've had a firm belief in Anarchism, since the very day I first saw the word in the dictionary. At that time, whenever I looked anything up in the dictionary, I'd invariably end up just reading many pages of it. After I began coding, what I was mostly do
[19:53] <dholbach> Faqtotum, it seems like what you were saying was cut off
[19:54] <Faqtotum> oing was what Richard Stallman defines "hacking" to be, though I didn't know it at the time. What I mostly hacked on was other people's code, generally without any sources, so I became rather skilled at making sense of disassembly listings and single-stepping. One time, I spent five days and nights straight just single-stepping through Microsoft Excel. Moore's Law eventually made me realize that m

[19:55] <Faqtotum> my next computer could run some flavor of UNIX, to which my previous exposure had been limited to large-installation systems, and I liked it very much. I was told that most flavors of UNIX were gradually being deprecated, but that there was one called Linux that wasn't and could run on a wide variety of personal computers. The more I learned about this flavor of UNIX and about its licence, the GPL

[19:56] <Faqtotum> Lv2, the more I saw that the practices behind it were what I had always done, but I had never imagined they could work on such a massive scale. It took me several years to accept that, but I haven't looked back.

[19:57] <dholbach> nice :)
[19:57] <dholbach> that's pretty similar to what some other folks said
