This week we stay in the USA and travel to the west coast,
to Hillsboro, Oregon, hometown of Eric Laffoon. We all know Eric Laffoon as the Quanta+ Team Leader.
In this interview we get to see a glimpse of the more private site of Eric. He's a multitasker, gets excited by catnip, describes himself as a 'wild and crazy guy', is best known for his good cigars and still looks good in spandex ;-)
Recently TechDigest.org put their creative thinking into the interview format by asking people to submit questions which could be part of an interview. The results take the Quanta/kdewebdev project leader from childhood tech memories to what's new in Quanta and points between. If you're curious about Quanta, where it's going or what's on Eric's mind this is a good read.
For this week's People Behind KDE interview we stay on the North American continent, cross the border and travel down to Philadelphia.

At The People Behind KDE this week an interview with the man who represents what working and contributing to a project like KDE stands for.
