Description
If you find any of my material interesting, please link to it and recommend that material to others. I'd appreciate it! You don't need to ask permission to link to the material on my website; just link to it. Indeed, the notion of asking for permission to link is just silly; the whole point of the World Wide Web is to enable links. If you don't want people linking to specific material, keep it off the Web.
And yes, that includes well-known sites like Slashdot and Groklaw. Feel free to recommend my stuff even to sites that may pound me with lots of simultaneous readrs. Which brings me to my next point...
Yes, I've been Slashdotted, eight times so far. A version of my Why OSS/FS? Look at the Numbers! paper was a feature Slashdot article on July 9, 2001, April 20, 2002, and September 30, 2004 (as I revise it, hopefully a future revision will be Slashdotted again). My source lines of code (SLOC) work was a major Slashdot feature on both June 21, 2001 and July 5, 2002, and both it and my paper analyzing Red Hat Linux's SLOC were key features in a July 30, 2004, article that CPAN has $677M of Perl code. My short article computing redevelopment costs of Linux kernel 2.6 was featured in an October 13, 2004 Slashdot article. On December 30, 2003, my article #3 on writing secure programs was Slashdotted (that was my article, though not this site). Although I'm not counting it, I guess I should mention that on February 24, 2004, Slashdot posted my review of David J. Agan's excellent book Debugging (you can see the Slashdot version and my slightly updated review). I'm also not counting the August 13, 2004, Slashdot article on "Open Source in California Government"; the 2004 California report recommends exploring open source software and it prominently references some of my work. Go ahead and Slashdot me again, I'm ready! In fact, I'd be delighted, since Slashdotting usually means that more people will read and use my material.
