Person A has to be Miguel de Icaza, who has worked on projects cloning all of the listed technologies.
A. Who spearheaded free software equivalents of all the mentioned software?
Miguel!
The rest I have to think about 🙂
Miguel de Izaca helped write mc, ORBit, Mono, Gnumeric, Evolution, and Moonlight?
I suppose Person A is Miguel, and his relationship with those projects is that he made open source reimplementations of all of them?
Person B might be Havoc?
Miguel de Icaza,
some weird guy,
and Anders Carlsson 😀
Everybody: Yes, A is Miguel.
Alberto: Bingo, C is Anders
Okay, who’s B? I can give you another hint, he’s a swede and I have actually contributed to two of the projects.
I would have though that B was Anders.
C sounds more like Richard Hult than Anders.
Soeren is right (and I did mix up B and C!)
