Looking Back, Looking Forward: Gaël Duval on Mandrake, an interesting interview of the Mandrake cofounder.
Open for Business's Timothy R. Butler talked with Mandrake co-founder Gaël Duval about the company's past, present, and future.
Working myself remotely, I work in Paris from my home over DSL/VPN with a team of 80 people located in California and India, I particularly liked the following comment:
Yes, I'm involved with MandrakeSoft's direction, and also a member of MandrakeSoft's board. But I'm not a real "executive". One reason is because I've worked at home since the beginning of the company. This was my only condition when creating MandrakeSoft! On the executive side, I'm very involved in everything that is related to Web and Internet here, including communication activities and new projects (MandrakeStore, MandrakeClub, etc.). My biggest regret is that I had to stop developing when our development team became so large. It's not easy to manage a team when you aren't located at the same place as everyone else.
