We'd like to revive the LQ Interview Series with regularly posted interviews, and we're interested in who you'd like to see interviewed. Let us know in this thread and we'll see if we can make it happen. Once someone has agreed to an interview, we'll post to get feedback on what questions you'd like asked. Visit http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/interviews-28/ for past interviews.
