Ethan Galstad

I just about laughed myself out of my chair this morning. I visited Sourceforge.net, only to be proven wrong on a comment I made here. When lo and behold…who do I see? I see Ethan’s handsome visage staring longingly back out me! WHOA! I did a double take. I then proceeded to LMFAO. The advertisement in question is to the right. I guess Ethan is now a software model! I always told him he was the most handsome open source programmer I’ve ever met. I guess this was a Splunk ad. Ethan, will you do ads for MindTouch? Please?

Ethan is awesome. When I lived in MN he and I lectured on open source at the University and we also made an ill-fated attempt to get an open source community lab off the ground. I should mention PeteE was also instrumental in our failed attempt. :-) In our defense, we only had about a year before I bailed for warmer climes.

I still stand by my claim that PeteE is an open source developer poster child and I have photographic evidence of it here.
