"Everybody Loves Eric Raymond" is a webcomic depicting the very real lives of Richard Stallman, Eric Raymond and Linus Torvalds as accurately as comedically possible. Their real lives, which include living together in a house, with dynamic dimensions, without their wives or girlfriends. Also, they always wear the same clothes. And don’t move their eyes much.
ELER was created by "John Leach" and is co-written by "Louisa Parry" with help from friends and random strangers (via the wiki). It’s created and published (almost) weekly, using only free software.
