Notes that DARPA's funding cut is "a gesture that has echoed throughout |
|
the free software community". |

Refers to the AP article below, and has lots of links to |

other articles. |

Another take on the ongoing saga, with some interesting remarks: |
|
Reporter Jennifer Lee comments that the controversy |
|
"highlights the delicate balance between the military and the |
|
anti-establishment bent of some in the technology community. It |
|
also shows that the international pool of computer programmers and |
|
hackers, possessing vast technological expertise, is not entirely |
|
sympathetic to the American military's current role in world |
|
affairs." Notes the discrepency between DARPA's public position |
|
and what the people working on the UPenn project have been told. |
|

|
Describes Theo de Raadt as "A respected Canadian computer programmer ... |
|
the 35-year-old founder of an international collaborative software project |
|
known as OpenBSD", and quotes him as saying that the hackathon will go on: |
|
"We are free people, we are hobbyists," he said. "We do this for fun." |

|
Another retelling of the tale, similar in scope to the NYTimes.com |
|
article above. |
|
Quotes Theo as saying: "The hackathon will go on," de Raadt said. |
|
"There's no way I'll be taking 60 people's personal flights and |
|
wasting them." |
