Tim O'Reilly is well-known as publisher of some of the best computer books in the world. But there is much more to O'Reilly Media.

"O'Reilly conferences and summits bring alpha geeks and forward-thinking business leaders together to shape the revolutionary ideas that spark new industries. From the Internet to XML, open source, .NET, Java, and web services, O'Reilly puts technologies on the map."

If you are a user group member or just into DIY hardware projects, be sure to check out the new MAKE Magazine. As Tim describes it, it's for people who do technology on their own time.

In this interview, Tim talks about the first books he published, open source, the future of the web and computing, user groups, the classics and why he has those weird animals on the book covers.
