  Jamie Zawinski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When the project ran into problems, Zawinski and the other programmers were forced to begin making fundamental changes to GNU Emacs to add new functionality; tensions over how to merge these patches into the main tree eventually led to the famous GNU Emacs/XEmacs fork [1].
Zawinski worked on the early releases of Netscape Navigator, particularly the 1.0 release of the Unix version.
Zawinski was a major proponent of opening the source code of the Mozilla browser, but became disillusioned with the project when it was decided that the code would have to be rewritten.

Zawinski's appearance at the board of appeals was a huge success -- the commissioners unanimously agreed to deny the police their attempt to change the DNA's permits.
Zawinski's legend only grew when, on April 1, exactly one year to the day after helping to organize a huge party to celebrate the public release of the Navigator source code, he quit Netscape, denouncing the entire project, known as "Mozilla," as hopelessly flawed.
Zawinski's penchant for telling it like it is, or at least like he thinks it is (a characteristic he shares with many hackers), was a public relations disaster.

The Zawinski contingent far outnumbered the handful of residents who came to speak in support of the SFPD's attempt to use the DNA's change of ownership to revoke the DNA's extensive after-hours operating permits.
Zawinski's motivation, he says, is akin to one of the key forces that pushes the free-software movement forward.
For Zawinski, the current irritation that needs assuaging is what he sees as a marked decline in the number of late-night venues for dancing and live concerts in San Francisco.

 stating the obvious :: hacking the city
Zawinski, and thousands of other newly-rich hackers like him, have the potential to use their smarts and their tenacity and their wealth to re-make the American city, in the same way they have re-made American culture and the American economy.
And though Zawinski describes his ambitions for the DNA Lounge as simply "mak[ing] a place that I think is cool," the club will change San Francisco, in some small way, and for what Zawinski sees as the better.
Zawinski, and hundreds of other hackers like him, will spend the rest of their lives using their riches to remold not just technology, but society, shaping it into the place that they want it to be.

 Zawinski's law of software envelopment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zawinski's Law of Software Envelopment (also known as Zawinski's Law) relates the pressure of popularity to the phenomenon of software bloat:
This law is attributed to Jamie Zawinski, who popularized it.
It may have been inspired by the humorous Law of Software Development and Envelopment at MIT, which was posted on Usenet in 1989 by Greg Kuperberg, who wrote:

Former Netscape programmer Jamie Zawinski has spent his life making software free.
The specific time period captured on film covers a crucial moment in the history of the "free-software movement" -- that frantic couple of months during which Netscape programmers scrambled to clean up the hitherto proprietary source code to the Navigator Web browser so that it could be released as publicly accessible open-source software.
He's "scratching his itch," he says, quoting Eric Raymond, one of the chief evangelists for free software.

Your article about Jamie Zawinski gives the impression that he and I had a series of stubborn clashes over design issues for Lucid's changes to GNU Emacs, after which he finally decided to do things his way.
Zawinski said their plans were already final and half-implemented, and it was too late to change any aspect of them.
Perhaps if Zawinski had understood that, he might have been willing to cooperate with me on improving Emacs.

 TIME.com: Netscape's Hail Mary -- Mar. 23, 1998 -- Page 1
Jamie Zawinski had already toiled at two failed start-ups by the time he went to work for Netscape in 1994.
Zawinski and his co-workers had another idea: Don't give away just the Netscape browser, give away the source code too.
Here's the reasoning: Microsoft is so much bigger, and can throw so many programmers at any problem, that Netscape's only chance is to harness the talents of the thousands of hackers on the Net who might be willing to improve on the program if they had a stake in it.
