Council member Mike Frysinger, one of the most experienced and most active Gentoo developers, talked to David Abbott of LinuxCrazy. Download the podcast here.

Mike described his work on the toolchain (gcc, glibc, binutils) and embedded Gentoo, and he explained the short- and long-term goals of the Gentoo Council.

He also told a story about how and why he got into Linux and shortly after into Gentoo, explained the origins of both his nicks, vapier and SpanKY ("I came up with SpanKY because I needed something people would fear"), and described his typical day ("I wake up and keep programming until I fall asleep").

If you would rather read it, Marc Murphy created a transcript of the interview.
