[IMG Jeff Waugh]Jeff Waugh was interviewed on FLOSS Weekly Semi-regularly 16 hosted by Chris DiBona and Leo Laporte. Although released in February it was recorded in 2006. The interview is great. Some of the highlights for me are learning more about the early days of Ubuntu, where Jeff sees Ubuntu now, and where he is as an open source professional. Jeff regularly demos his deft wit.
