Open source attitude

The Firefox attitude

(...) but you have to aim big. Otherwise, why even try? It's time for open-source software--good open-source software--to be proud of itself, set its sights on the big leagues and get out there and try and get as much out of it as possible. You don't get there by aiming for 5 percent or 10 percent.

The Linux attitude

Nobody should start to undertake a large project. You start with a small _trivial_ project, and you should never expect it to get large. If you do, you'll just overdesign and generally think it is more important than it likely is at that stage. Or worse, you might be scared away by the sheer size of the work you envision.

So start small, and think about the details. (..)

Welcome back

For now, this is a raw hand-written version of the web-site. It switched from mostly a combination of french and japanese to english, but some french and japanese might appear soonish, and from an XML-based xml-dtc powered kinda blog to an XHTML-based vim-powered ... thing, without even a CSS stylesheet. That will also change in the future, as soon as I'll settle myself on how to organize the whole stuff.

Keywords will be : XML, RDF, XHTML, CSS, Semantics, Debian, Life, the Universe and Everything.
