	Eric S. Raymond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eric Steven Raymond (born December 4, 1957), often referred to as 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 and his supporters have credited his tactics with a number of remarkable successes, beginning with the release of the Mozilla (then Netscape) source code in 1998, and he is widely credited with having taken the open source mission to Wall Street more effectively than earlier advocates.
		Raymond addresses some of these criticisms in his essay "Take My Job, Please!" [12], 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.
		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.
		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.

	Salon 21st Let my software go!
		The first time I met Eric Raymond, the co-author of "The New Hacker's Dictionary," he flamed me hairless after I sent him e-mail seeking clarification of a point of research for a project I was working on.
		Raymond's essay "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" is one of the most eloquent explications of the theory that software design is best served by having a community of independent hackers work together in an atmosphere of complete openness.
		Raymond is an influential advocate of the principle of free software -- which declares that the best way to produce quality software is to give the world free access to the underlying source code.

	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 shows an unusually expressive awareness of the use of body language, presumably an effect of his visible but mild cerebral palsy.
		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.

	O'Reilly: An Interview with Eric Raymond
		The book's author, Eric Raymond, one of the Open Source Movement's most articulate leaders, recently talked with oreilly.com about the soon-to-be-released paperback edition of The Cathedral and the Bazaar, new material he added to this edition, and how he used an open source approach to updating it.
		Raymond: There's a juicy new section on the mechanics of bazaar development that discusses communications structures and the nitty-gritty of parallel debugging and why it works so well.
		Raymond: I ran the book revision process in the same way the book describes open source development (a term which actually wasn't coined until a year after the first essay).

	Joel on Software - Biculturalism
		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.
		Raymond invents an amusing story to illustrate this which will ring true to anyone who has ever used a library in binary form.

	Open-source advocate: Release Java code CNET News.com
		Eric S. Raymond, president of the Open Source Initiative, said in an open letter Thursday that Sun needs to choose between controlling Java and seeing it spread as widely as possible.

		Raymond's remarks were in response to a Wednesday speech in which McNealy said, "The open-source model is our friend." The CEO argued that Sun is better able than competitors to withstand the advent of open-source software, which can be obtained at no cost.

	Guardian Unlimited Technology Technology Armed, but not dangerous
		Eric Raymond is the gun-toting supergeek who has the corporate moguls in his sights.
		Raymond thinks it's more important for software to be good than for it to be free: "if we can't win by producing the best software then we don't deserve to win any moral crusades," he says.
		Raymond's message to software buyers is that they should use "open source" software because it's more reliable, and cheaper and easier to maintain.

	Open Source Software Development as a Special Type of Academic Research
		Starting with his famous paper "Cathedral and Bazaar" Eric Raymond published a series of articles (see especially his comments on the so-called Halloween documents) he promoted an overoptimistic and simplistic view of open source, as a variant of socialist (or, to be more exact, vulgar Marxist) interpretation of software development.
		Eric Raymond's bazaar model provides a too simplistic view of the open source software (OSS) development process.
		This paper is to a certain extent a reaction to Raymond's "Embrace and Extend" policy towards Linux and the software that runs on it, his attempt to represent it as a single (and simple) phenomenon and call it "open source".
