> To: "Ton Roosendaal" <ton at blender.org>
> Subject: Re: Re: Here goes nothing (or maybe not?)
> Hello
>
> I know your time is extremely important, so I'll try to keep it
> extremely short.
>
> I co-host a podcast called 'systemtrash'. (http://www.systemtrash.com)
>
> Systemtrash is a technology show with two hosts (one IT geek, one a
> bit less). The one host gets a system ready (name a distribution and
> he's got it up and running) for host no 2, who then has to be able to
> trash it (figuratively). Host no 2 would be me.
>
> We enrich the show by putting in an interview whith someone who is
> known in the technology/podcast world (that of course includes
> developers of Blender ;) ). As a segway to the name of the show one of
> the questions is if you ever got a system trashed in an original
> manner. But we also discuss the OS'es you've used during your
> career, which os'es you're still using. How you see the future of
> OS'es etc... So we get an interesting yet enjoyable conversation of
> about 15-20 minutes.
>
> I have been reading up 'Blender' and was interested by what
> you've done. So I'd like to invite you in having a Systemtrash
> interview with me. The interview gan be given over Skype (even a
> couple of developers at the same time would be great.
>
> If you really don't have time to do this, than we thank you anyway for
> reading this mail up to here.
>
>
> PS.: here are the main questions (the same all the time) around which
> we build up the interview.Of course we'd like to interweave as much of
> the 'Blender' stuff you guys/gals want to talk about.
>
> 1) what operating systems have you worked with in your life?
>
>
> 2) what operating system do you have to use now (we stress on the
> 'have', because of the fact that we don't allways choose the operating
> system we use, company policy, programs that only work on a certain
> platform, etc.)
>
> 3) what operating system would you like to use instead of the one you
> are using ? (if it's the one you work with, all the better for you)
>
> 4) what do you expect from an operating system:
> - fast but ugly?
> - pleasing to the eye but slower in responsiveness?
> - Do you know an 'in the middle' without latest and greatest hardware.
>
> 5) what should change in the way operating systems work in the next 5  
> years?
>
> 6) what is the most awfull way you've heard about trashing a computer?
> (can be your own machine, or one of your coworkers, friends,...)
>
