I have known Marc mostly from his professional side, as he was a prominent user of the open source | |
software I was in charge of (OpenVZ). We met in San Francisco for the LinuxWorld conference 2007, | |
where Marc volunteered to help with the booth. I came from Russia, and since he's local, he brought | |
some stuff -- a monitor, power strips, etc. After the conference he took a day to show me around -- | |
the ocean, the redwood forest (we took a one hour hike, and he introduced the Church of Reality). | |
We we talked through the whole day, not just about software. | |
We have been in contact since, mostly professionally, he wrote a couple of articles for OpenVZ. | |
Despite that, I always thought of Marc as a friend rather than a colleague. For me, he is also | |
a prominent example of an American free thinker -- someone who is not tied to any ideology | |
and is open minded. | |
He is missed. | |
