So who is this ESR character, anyway?
I wonder that myself, sometimes. This page is written for the benefit of anyone who may have stumbled on this website without having previously tripped over my public Famous Internet Geek persona.
I'm a long-time hacker, active in the Internet culture since the 1970s, who got unexpectedly famous in the late 1990s as a result of events I have described elsewhere — like the song goes, it took me twenty years to become an overnight sensation. I either founded or re-invented (depending on who you ask, and how some history is interpreted; I prefer ‘re-invented’, myself) the open source movement. If that term means nothing to you, think Linux. Linux is the open-source community's flagship product.
