Greg Kroah Hartman on the Linux Kernel
Uploaded by: googletechtalks
Video Description:
Google Tech Talks June, 5 2008 ABSTRACT The Linux Kernel, who is developing it, how they are doing it, and why you should care. This talk describes the rate of development for the Linux kernel, and how the development model is set up to handle such a large and diverse developer population and huge rate of change. It will detail who is doing the work, and what companies, if any, are sponsering it. Finally, it will go into why companies like Google, and any other that uses or depends on Linux, should care about this development. Lots of numbers and pretty graphs will be shown to keep the audience awake. Speaker: Greg Kroah Hartman Greg Kroah-Hartman is a Linux kernel maintainer for the USB, driver core, sysfs, and debugfs portions of the kernel as well as being one half of the -stable kernel release team. He currently works for Novell as a Fellow doing various kernel related things and has written a few books from O'Reilly about Linux development in the past.

| Actually Greg got it wrong with Cononical: They got 6 changes in 2.6.26, not 6 changes in the last 5 years. Much more but still not much. I crated an idea on brainstorm.ubuntu to fix this ;) (search for "Contribute to the kernel" as i cant post a link here) |

| I agree with Greg that Google doesn't contribute back enough with the linux kernel. That's a shame 'cause Google is a great company IMO and they should give back a lots more to the community. |

| As henrythesteinberg pointed out it is a Operating System so it doesn't matter which machine you buy/own. Furthermore it is completely free and therefor you won't be wasting money on anything. And at last it doesn't suck it just does things different from Windows and OSX. |

| This isn't even tangential but I have the exact same shirt except in brown that never stays wrinkle free. But it's my favourite shirt because it's kinda wrinkly, organic and random. And then these beautiful fractal patterns form and everybody who looks at me gets struck by awe. |
