schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p>Corbet's talk offered a rare, nearly unique, insight into the rise and rise of Linux over 30 years. There aren't that many developers who've been involved for so much of that time, and of those, few are good communicators who are both able to talk about and as well as actually wanting to do so. It's quite well known that Linus Torvalds himself doesn't enjoy public speaking. </p>Sep 19 14:13

schestowitz[TR2]Re: About Florian MuellerSep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> Hello Roy,Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> Hopefully you do read this. My name is Christian, a Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> wanna-be-gaming-journalist from Guatemala so please excuse my english if Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> it is bad. I have a small YouTube channel where I talk about videogames.Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> Recently there has been a big topic in the realm of videogames, patents. Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> At the same time, Florian Mueller has become a big source for a lot if Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> media outlets talking about the topic through a blog that he owns called Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> Game Fray. Upon researching this person I stumbled upon your Techrights Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> articles discussing this individual.Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> I was hoping I could talk with you about this person as I think his Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> sudden involvement in the topic seems very strange to me, and you seem Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> to have chronicles his methods and appearances in the past.Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> If you are not interested, thanks for even taking the time to read all Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> this.Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]> Best regards.Sep 19 15:06
schestowitz[TR2]I'm happy to discuss this, also see:Sep 19 15:06

schestowitz[TR2]> Fantastic! Thanks for those two links too.Sep 19 16:58
schestowitz[TR2]> Sep 19 16:58
schestowitz[TR2]> I guess the first thing I would like to discuss is how you first became Sep 19 16:58
schestowitz[TR2]> aware of this individual and their work?Sep 19 16:58
schestowitz[TR2]> Sep 19 16:58
schestowitz[TR2]> From your articles, I get that he spams his "credentials" to get quoted Sep 19 16:58
schestowitz[TR2]> by media and thus raise his own credibility to get further quoted by Sep 19 16:58
schestowitz[TR2]> media and push a narrative. Would that be a correct understanding of the Sep 19 16:58
schestowitz[TR2]> way he operates?Sep 19 16:58
schestowitz[TR2]Yes! :)Sep 19 16:58
