Linux Foundation opening doors to individual participation

| Linux creator Linus Torvalds, has added to its Web site a gateway toward 
| individual -- as opposed to corporate -- membership. Individuals can join  
| through the site by paying yearly dues, and will get a small voice in 
| Foundation matters in exchange -- plus their choice of T-shirts.

Linux kernel community grows, but elite group remains

,----[ Quote ]
| Viro has contributed 1,571 changes to the kernel, which sits at the core of 
| the Linux operating system, over the past three years, according to a new 
| report from the Linux Foundation. That's more than any other individual 
| developer, the report states. In contrast, Torvalds, the kernel's creator and 
| steward, contributed 495 changes. Viro couldn't be reached for comment about 
| the report.

| community members, notes Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux 
| Foundation. Roughly 3,700 developers from more than 200 companies have 
| contributed to the kernel since 2005, according to the report.
