Kernel space: Bisection divides users and developers
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux developers change the kernel at the rate of one patch every twenty
| minutes. When you report a bug, finding the one patch that introduced it can
| be trouble. A new tool lets users help find it--if kernel developers and bug
| reporters can work together.

NEWS: Linux Developers Make A Living
,----[ Quote ]
| McPherson also notes that “it’s difficult for most people to get their minds
| around competitive mass collaboration.” Indeed, this is what the freedom
| afforded by Linux is all about. People (and companies) contribute not for
| humanitarian reasons, but because they expect a benefit. Work together to
| create the best platform, openly usable by everyone, and if it still doesn’t
| meet your needs perfectly, you are free to change it accordingly. Everyone
| wins. No compromises.
