  Andrew Tridgell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew "Tridge" Tridgell (born February 28, 1967) is an Australian computer programmer best known as the creator of and contributor to the Samba file server, and co-inventor of the rsync algorithm.
Tridgell completed a science degree with majors in applied mathematics and physics at the University of Sydney in 1988, before moving to Canberra to complete an Honours degree at the Australian National University, in which he received first class honours in theoretical physics.
Tridgell was considered to have furthered an important goal of the free software movement since the founding of GNU, analyzing ways for free software to interact with widespread proprietary systems to allow people to more easily move away from those systems.

 GRIDtoday: Samba Creator Andrew Tridgell Joins OSDL
Tridgell joins Linux creator Linus Torvalds as an OSDL Fellow, positions created by the lab to allow strategic developers to focus exclusively on their development and coding contributions to the open source community.
Tridgell is currently working on the next major release of Samba, version 4, that has five goals: protocol completeness, extreme testability, non-POSIX backends, fully asynchronous internals and flexible process models.
Tridgell comes to OSDL after working in research and engineering roles at IBM, VA Software, Linuxcare, Quantum, and is a visiting fellow at Australian National University.

 LinuxWorld | Interview: Andrew Tridgell, the heart beat of Samba
Andrew Tridgell: We are at the 2nd release candidate at the moment, which means the final release is close, but the exact date depends on user feedback and the resolution of the last few release critical bugs.
Andrew Tridgell: I'm attached to the Network Attached Storage group in Almaden, which in turn is part of an effort to create a new SAN [Storage Area Network] filesystem called Storage Tank.
Andrew Tridgell: In my case I have managed to end up in a job where my core project is enhancing an open source project, so there really isn't a problem with that at all.

 Interview: Taking Samba beyond POSIX
Tridgell: The Storage Tank filesystem (see Resources for a link) is the one that I'm looking at in particular, which is a SAN-based filesystem.
Tridgell: As a sort of subtitle to the Samba project, we've hoped that eventually Samba will go away because it won't be needed.

 Virtual Interview with Jeremy Allison and Andrew Tridgell
Andrew Tridgell and Jeremy Allison together have written the majority of the code in Samba, the popular SMB (Windows Networking) file server for UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems.
Andrew, the creator of Samba, is currently a Ph.D. student at the Australian National University.
Andrew had implemented Samba just by sniffing the wire, because he's incredibly clever, where I can't do that sort of thing without a specification.

 After open-source controversy, Torvalds turns to 'git'
In February, Tridgell wrote a tool that could work with source code stored in BitKeeper, but after several months of negotiations, BitMover decided to revoke the Linux developers' right to use the current BitKeeper software for free.
Because Tridgell's client could only be used to access BitKeeper data and did not replace the entire system, Torvalds now finds himself looking for a new source code management system, he said.
Tridgell himself declined to comment on the matter, except to confirm, via e-mail, that he wrote a tool that interoperated with BitKeeper and to assert that he "developed the tool in a completely ethical and legal manner."

 ITworld.com - Samba creator takes stand in Microsoft case   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Andrew Tridgell, creator of the Samba server software used by free and open-source software developers alike, made an important contribution to the European Commission’s defense of its 2004 Microsoft Corp. antitrust ruling at the Court of First Instance this week.
Speaking slowly and loudly with his soft Australian accent, Tridgell’s testimony was compelling not only because it seemed to so effectively refute Microsoft’s arguments, but also because of the way he characterized the world of software development and Microsoft’s role in it.
Tridgell’s reply did more to illustrate the problem posed by Microsoft to the rest of the software industry than all the legal and technical explanations offered by the European Commission and its allies during the entire week-long hearing.

 Torvalds knifes Tridgell | The Register
Tridgell, we've learned, was attempting to gain knowledge of the Bitkeeper protocols on the wire, so he could allow the Linux kernel developers to retrieve their source code metadata from the dark dungeons of Larry McVoy's back garden (ie, Bitkeeper).
Tridgell "screwed people over", claims Torvalds, portraying him as a hooligan who had no purpose other than willful destruction.
Firstly, Tridgell legitimately wanted to get at data valuable to the Linux kernel developers: this motive cannot be described as selfish.

 Andrew Tridgell Finally Breaks Silence on Bout with Torvalds | tuxmachines.org
For the past month, the biggest topic of discussion in the tight-knit Linux world has been a major fallout between Linus Torvalds, who created the popular OS, and Andrew Tridgell, the Australian developer of Samba, a well-regarded and widely-used tool for getting Linux and Windows systems to interoperate.
The dispute centres on Mr Tridgell's work to develop a free software client for BitMover's BitKeeper, a commercial software package that Mr Torvalds has used since 2002 to track changes and patches to the Linux kernel.
Mr Tridgell used his keynote speech at the conference to make his first public comment on the dispute.
