Interviewee: Helio Chissini de Castro
In this interview we talk with Helio Chissini de Castro. In specific, we talk about:
* The open source environment in Brazil
* The strengths of Mandriva Linux
* Organization and maintenance of Mandriva
* The future of open source software in Latin America
Sean Campbell: Can you tell us a little bit about your background, both with open source and outside of that?
Helio Chissini de Castro: Sure. I started in open source 10 years ago, when I finished university in a computer science major. I joined a company that works on desktop development called Choose, which works with ILOG tools. They work on Windows and UNIX C++ software, and they really have nothing to do with Linux and open source at all.
