BSD Magazine has an interview with professor emeritus Andrew Tanenbaum about MINIX, of course, and its use of NetBSD userspace. They ask him a baker's dozen questions, ranging from hurdles to starting MINIX, a chain of connection to Android Linux, cross-pollenation with NetBSD, as well as asking more general advice.

Andrew Stuart Tanenbaum is an American computer scientist and professor emeritus of computer science at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands. He is best known as the author of MINIX, a free Unix-like operating system for teaching purposes, and for his computer science textbooks, regarded as standard texts in the field. He regards his teaching job as his most important work. Since 2004 he has operated Electoral-vote.com, a website dedicated to analysis of polling data in federal elections in the United States.
