	Theo de Raadt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theo de Raadt, pronounced "de rot", (born May 19, 1968 in Pretoria, South Africa) is a software engineer who lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
		De Raadt is noted for his uncompromising and confrontational manner, which has contributed to several disputes within the free software community, most notably his dispute with the NetBSD core team which led to the formation of OpenBSD.
		After de Raadt stated his disapproval of the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq in an interview with Toronto's Globe and Mail, a multi-million-dollar US Department of Defense grant to the University of Pennsylvania's POSSE project was cancelled, effectively ending the project.

	Theo de Raadt - Encyclopedia Dramatica (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		One of the most drama-plagued and prolific personalities on the internets, Theo is often labeled an asshole and an egoist.
		The rivalry and latent homosexual tension between Theo and FreeBSD's Darren Reed is well known and evidenced throughout several mailing lists, websites and CVS commit comments.
		Theo and Darren had a falling out in 2001, where Theo removed IPF with no comparable tool to replace it due to the 'you're not exactly allowed to modify and release my code without permission' license Darren had, although Theo's known to have done this countless times with similar excuses.

	Staying on the cutting edge - Technology - theage.com.au
		De Raadt was born in Pretoria in 1968.
		De Raadt Senior was keen to leave the country due to the "great fear of stuff that was happening and, of course, the conscription, the mandatory two-year conscription." His parents went around the world once when he was four and again when he was six.
		Says de Raadt: "...at this point - we were basically about a year in - we were basically just finding the bugs on our own, and it didn't matter so much that we had this relationship with them so they could write a checker.

	Sécurité.Org://Interview/Theo de Raadt
		Theo de Raadt: Our approach differs because we consider security to be a side-effect, rather than a goal on it's own.
		Theo de Raadt: Crispin Cowan has suggested that buffer overflows are the most common security causing programmer error.
		Theo de Raadt: For years now, I've tried to talk to people who use OpenBSD, to see what their next big need was.

	Is Linux For Losers? - Forbes.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		De Raadt says his crack 60-person team of programmers, working in a tightly focused fashion and starting with a core of tried-and-true Unix, puts out better code than the slapdash Linux movement.
		De Raadt blames Linux's development structure, in which thousands of coders feed bits of code to "maintainers," who in turn pass pieces to Torvalds and a handful of top lieutenants.
		De Raadt says BSD could have become the world's most popular open source operating system, except that a lawsuit over BSD scared away developers, who went off to work on Linux and stayed there even after BSD was deemed legal.

	NewsForge \| BSD cognoscenti on Linux
		Theo de Raadt: Well I am sure by now you all know that Linux is just a kernel, while OpenBSD is a complete Unix system: kernel, device drivers, libraries, userland, development environment, documentation, and all the tools you need to continue doing development.
		Theo de Raadt: No. Our source tree is completely free; anyone can use it for any purpose as long as they give credit.
		It's interesting that Theo de Raadt thinks that BSD advatage over Linux is the increased development speed that BSD's experiences because it is a complete OS rather than just a kernel.

	LWN: Interview: Theo de Raadt of OpenBSD (NewsForge)
		Theo refusing to give them a heads up on security issues, is hardly worse than Sun and IBM, with all their money, refusing to give a cent but expecting support for free.
		Theo is mad that an expectation from Sun and IBM that the OpenSSH project is responsible for fixing software which Sun and IBM are providing their paying customers.
		Theo is refering to SunSSH here, a seperate branch which Sun have chosen to fork and develop for themselves and yet don't even donate a cent to him.

		De Raadt has already been using the sensor framework to monitor the machines running in the project's server room.
		Theo de Raadt is quoted as saying, "There's just no way to describe how happy we were to find such an inexpensive, blazingly fast, and correctly operating device as the VIA Eden-N processor's Padlock ACE..." OpenBSD 3.4 has support for this processor and its integrated cryptographic engine.
		Theo is quoted as pointing out that, although DARPA is funding it, they're not telling the project what to do; just funding the continuation of the project's good work, all released under the BSD license.

	OpenCVS, the bloat, and Theo de Raadt
		His point was since the goals are similar (stay compatible to GNU CVS, be secure as possible, and provide a better access control) and CVSNT already had five years of stable releases, joining efforts would benefit both parties.
		We were fully aware of there being other CVS projects, and we do not feel that their stuff can help us towards our goals at all.
		AFAIK Theo and co looked into other SCMs and were not satisfied.

		Theo de Raadt: Early vendors used to place their firmware onto a flash memory inside the device.
		Theo de Raadt: Well, the four large vendors in the wireless space are currently Intel, TI, Conexant/Intersil (Prism G/Javelin) and Atheros.

	SELinux Mailing List: by thread
		If it is darpa's intention to follow up with other implementations like trustedbsd and selinux it seems to me that they would not renew (or offer another grant) but pulling an existing grant in midstream has got to be caused by something a little more drastic, especially since there wasn't even that much left.
		IMO Theo is an idiot for talking about the government and DoD while recieving a grant from them, talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
		If Theo had a serious issue with receiving money from the US government then he could have abstained from requesting it.

	Open-source clan in spat with Sun \| CNET News.com

		De Raadt has a history of not mincing words or shunning controversy.
		De Raadt is particularly interested in UltraSparc III features that are well-suited to OpenBSD's emphasis on security--for example, memory protections that make computers less vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks.

		De Raadt, 37, is a blunt-spoken, even obnoxious programmer who works out of his basement in Calgary.
		De Raadt is thus something of a budding cult hero in the open-source-software movement, a not-yet-famous Canadian version of Linus Torvalds, the creator of the open Linux system that sparked the free-code revolution.
		De Raadt moved to Canada from South Africa with his parents when he was 9.

		On December 20, Theo de Raadt was asked to resign from the NetBSD Project by the remaining members of 'core'.
		This decision was difficult to make because Theo has a long history of positive contributions to the project.
		We are certainly willing to accept (and would very much like to see) future contributions from Theo, but we believe that it is inappropriate for him to be an "official" representative of the project any longer.

		Theo was fairly nice during this interview, but I have a few points to make.
		I'm not sure in what world Theo lives, but if you look at drivers/net/forcedeth.c in any moderately recent linux kernel, you'll find a nicely working driver for MCP chipsets that was initially done via reverse engineering.

	LXer: Luckily for the BSDs not everyone is like Theo de Raadt: BSD cognoscenti on Linux
		Theo de Raadt, on the other hand, says clearly that he thinks the GPL is not really free, and that GNU/Linux is badly coded by irresponsible people.
		And then dare tell me that what comes out of de Raadt's mouth isn't Anti-Linux BSD FUD (anti-FOSS too, as he takes the Lyons/Enderle/O'Gara line of saying that the community is all about hating Microsoft, except his little band of course).
		Slashdot now has an article supposedly quoting Theo "the man" as saying in Forbes that "Linux is for losers" To quote Mike Myers: "Does the fun ever start?" I find it interesting that Theo would choose Forbes magazine for these comments....
