I remember interviews with her when her first book came out, I don't
recall anything about that.


I searched for:

 > Gabriella Coleman Debian

And see she wrote further book(s).

And, spent time with BALUG (Bay Area LUG). Cool! I like their meetings, 
and Rick who has contributed to this very thread is prominent in the BALUG.


She studied the Debian project & members due to the number of 
participants being larger than FreeBSD or Apache.


I didn't see anything tying Debian to Anonymous in this interview, and 
she seems to have a fairly positive view of those "hackers" (more akin 
to software developers working on passion projects).


Got any further links?

Searching for combos of Debian and Anonymous leads to many unrelated hits.
