| Stian Rødven Eide: Your involvement with GNU/Linux started while you were 
| active in the demoscene, which was rather huge in Finland during the 
| nineties. Were you already familiar with the philosophy of Free Software at 
| that time? Was the culture of studying, sharing and improving each other’s 
| code relevant to the demoscene?    
| 
| Timo Jyrinki: I don’t think I was really familiar with the Free Software 
| philosophy at all at that time, and not even for some time after starting to 
| use GNU/Linux. The demoscene did have an atmosphere of improving on other’s 
| ideas, but actually seeing code was mostly totally out of the question, 
| except for maybe some snippets. My real introduction to Free Software came 
| from my involvement with Wikipedia.
