Original OSNews Interviews OSNews reader Jim Strawberry writes: "The BSDvault guys did an interview with Jordan Hubbard not to long ago -- unfortunately it was done as an IRC conversation and was posted as such -- making it rather hard to read & follow. For this reason it didn't really get much attention. The other day I took it upon myself to transform this IRC log into a real interview." Jim received authorization by the original posters, BSDVault, and asked us to publish his revised and cleaned-up version of the interview with Apple's & FreeBSD's Jordan Hubbard.

gobeProductive ---> rocks

But seriously, it was a nifty read. Kinda nice to see what's coming down the road for the BSD folks. I know they still haven't reached 4.5 yet, and I wonder what impact this will have for other projects. Meaning, how much of OpenBSD is related directly to FreeBSD, as in codebase-wise. Do changes in the main branch for one affect the other, or are they wholely autonomous? Also, OS X was based on 3.2, and we're presently seeing the 4.x branch of FreeBSD in production, with 5.0 coming in the near future. What are the chances of some of this awesome new technologies being worked into the OS X and Darwin sources ...

And props on the ferret thread comment. I enjoyed it, at least.

Why Jordan Hubbard

I wish they'd interview Rob Hubbard, his much more talented relative.

I loved the ferret thread concept ... makes me wonder if there's been something like it running around for years in the various machines I've worked on ;)

Rub Hubbard composed music for games (at least) in the 8bit era.
<a href="http://www.c64games.de/startseite.asp?LG=D&SF=filelist&FileFirstLet... was such a game for the C64 I can remember.
Is this Rub Hubbard the same as the founder of Scientology and SF author?

Not Rub

The founder of scientology was Ron L. Hubbard.
