» Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle on Nerd TV
In the latest episode of Nerd TV, Bob Cringely of PBS interviews Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle.

In the earlier episodes of Nerd TV, Cringley has interviewed Bill Joy. While at college (UC Berkeley), Bill Joy had written vi and also was one of the founders of the BSD project. He went on to found Sun Microsystems and while at Sun, helped in writing NFS, developing the SPARC processor, the Java programming language and JINI.

In the first two episodes he has interviewed Max Levchin - Founder of Paypal (he also made the first commercial implementation of Captcha) and Andy Hertzfeld - One of the first Mac system programmers. Andy has a popular website which documents early Mac History (extremely addictive if you are a Mac lover) and also has contributed to FOSS.

PS: Are you wondering what the Foss.in connection is? We are planning to host the audio recording of the talks (podcasts?) on the Web archives's excellent conference section.
