Anytime that someone defies the status quo and defies oppression, it feels like a step in the right direction.

Nina Jacobson

The good thing about the IMF is there is no European politics involved.

Mark Rutte

Trouble defies the law of gravity. It's easier to pick up than to drop.

So that's my main role right now and really the politics also includes going out and communicating to the world why Apache is a good thing, why companies should be involved in it, and why individuals should be involved in it too.

Brian Behlendorf
