HPR Correspondents bring you Interviews from interesting people and projects
Ubuntu, MATE.
Two words which, taken separately, refer to great products.
On one side, Ubuntu, one of the most popular, if not the most popular, linux distribution.
On the other side, the MATE desktop environment, also very popular.
One person took those two elements and combined them together to make Ubuntu MATE. That person is Martin Wimpress, and he joined me on the 21st of March to talk about the past, present, and future of the project.

Great interview
This was the most informative "origin story" story of a distribution I've ever heard. The little details (like building the initial distro in droplets on Digital Ocean, based on a $10 voucher) are fascinating, and provide real insight into how some of these cool "little" projects actually happen. Thank you for this, Yannick-the-French-guy-from-Switzerland!
