	Eric S. Raymond
		Eric Steven Raymond (born December 4, 1957) (often referred to by his initials, ESR) is the author of "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" and the present maintainer of the "Jargon File" (also known as "The New Hacker's Dictionary").
		Raymond's tactics have scored a number of remarkable successes, beginning with the release of the Mozilla source code in 1998, and he is widely credited by both hackers and mainstream observers with having taken the open source mission to Wall Street more effectively than anyone before him.
		Raymond addresses some of these assertions in his essay "Take My Job, Please!" [1], where he argues that if anyone is qualified and willing to take his job and present the case for open source to the world, he would "back them to the hilt".

	The Cathedral and the Bazaar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cathedral and the Bazaar is an essay by Eric S. Raymond on software engineering methods, based on his observations of the Linux kernel development process and his experiences managing an open source project, fetchmail.
		The essay's central thesis is Raymond's proposition that Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow (which he terms Linus's law): if the source code is available for public testing, scrutiny, and experimentation, then bugs will be discovered at a rapid rate.
		In contrast, Raymond claims that an inordinate amount of time and energy must be spent hunting for bugs in the Cathedral model, since the working version of the code is available only to a few developers.

		Raymond's claim to being a "Core Linux Developer" has drawn criticism since he has never had code accepted into Linux (the kernel), and his largest open source code contributions amount to relatively small portions of fetchmail, Ncurses, and Emacs editing modes.
		Raymond addresses some of these criticisms in his essay "Take My Job, Please!", where he argues that if anyone is qualified and willing to take his job and present the case for open source to the world, he would "back them to the hilt".

	Joel on Software - Biculturalism
		Raymond invents an amusing story to illustrate this which will ring true to anyone who has ever used a library in binary form.
		Raymond may call it "oversimplifying condescension," but the Windows culture understands that end users don't like reading and if they concede to read your documentation, they will only read the minimum amount, and so you have to explain things repeatedly...
		Raymond does attempt to compare and contrast Unix to other operating systems, and this is really the weakest part of an otherwise excellent book, because he really doesn't know what he's talking about.

	Lloyd Wood's Jaundiced Eye: #1 -- An evening with Eric Raymond, NT personality
		Although the material (to wit: Eric Raymond and how open source came about, primarily due to Eric Raymond) is familiar ground to anyone who has ever looked "noosphere" up in a dictionary, and the jokes, though well-timed and delivered, are predictably geeky and expected, he can hold an audience.
		Raymond would have been done for; "You can't expect to win every battle" can only be used as a Get-Out-of-Answer-Free yellow card so many times, and probably wouldn't go down well with target CEOs more familiar with the adages of Sun Tzu.
		Raymond shows an unusually expressive awareness of the use of body language, presumably an effect of his visible but mild cerebral palsy.
