The Heroes Behind the Initiative

Linus torvalds ... as u all might know ... he is the one who wrote the kernel for Linux from Minix ... he did it as a hobby ... and now , he is the inspiration for a billion !! he is a strong supporter of open source and released the license or Linux under GPL (GNU Public License) .
Richard M Stallman , the man behind the Free Software Foundation, FSF and the mastermind behind the GNU project !!! ... he had the saying 'Free as in Freedom and not in Free Beer' . he wanted to create choice for mankind (here its computer profeciency society) !! .
Eric S Raymond authour of 'The Cathedral and the Bazzar' (CatB) and the founder of Open Source Initiative also called as OSI. His book was a revolution and His thought transformed us .

Lets say 'Three Cheers' for the heroes who made it possible for the open source development , if not would have been a bitter place.

Introduction About Myself :)

Hello to everyone . . .
For all who doesnt know me .... i am Karthik Parvathaneni doing my B.Tech C.S.E in VIT,Vellore INDIA ...
well i shall start of by saying that i am a Critic .... i compare things and evaluate them ...
might it be a song im listening or the player which is playing the song ... the discussion is about the quality and its efficiency !!! ... im a computer freak and one of the (millions of) greatest admirers of Open Source !!! ... I even had a chance to present a discussion on 'Open Source Exchange:Your Passion towards Open Source' during the Sun Tech Days 2008 !!
well first of all ive started liking computer through games ... i play a lot ... when i was asked to make a choice about my degree of graduation , i took C.S ... i had a strong desire to develop games ... then i said ... chalo ... let me start with the roots of a game ... which are its graphics ...
but as a matter of fact .. i dint understand a bit of OpenGL the first time i saw it ...
before Gaming also ... i had a passion towards programming languages and i enjoy writing cool scripts !! :) . i love C , C++ .. i still feel C++ is the strongest of all ... just a feeling!!
C++ was a makeover to my programing intentions ... it brought me the light of my inner dreams .. well im 19 and im a pretty confused boy !! i say once that i shall design nice web pages and the next second i think phython should be given importance ... but then again there is my desire of designing an awesome game ... :p (not NFS MW) !! im in the middle of something . but i can promise that i shall accomplish all of the above ... i just need orientation ...besides computers , i listen a lot of music ... it tugs me to wake up and work ... gives me the hope that one day i shall succeed .!
and mention not ... im a Party Freak . . . ;) [comments are welcomed]
HAVE A NICE DAY
