LinuxCon Roundtable in Torvalds Quotes
,----[ Quote ]
| On motivation throughout his history with Linux:
|
| âIt has changed a lot over the years. It started out being
| all about the technology, and all about just really
| twiddling with the hardware and just learning and just
| doing something cool and sitting in my basement. It wasnât
| my basement at the time, it was my motherâs basement
| [everyone laughs]. But really being low level and doing the
| programming. That eventually faded and then it become
| somewhat about the community and the fame, hey that was
| great. But also new problems that I hadnât had before. The
| SMP work, many years ago, that other people started and I
| kinda took over, continued to motivated me.â

Why Linux succeeds while other open source projects fail
,----[ Quote ]
| That's where open source can also help for adoption. If a
| project, like Linux does become successful, it provides
| more incentive for users to use the application as a way of
| future proofing their technology investment.
|
| Hohndel noted that when IBM decided to discontinue its OS/2
| operating system, there were many enterprises (including a
| German Bank that he was working for) that were left
| hanging.
| "Open source means that will never happen to you," Hohndel
| said.

Watch LinuxCon Live From Your Computer Next Week
,----[ Quote ]
| LinuxCon is only a week away, and the brand new conference
| looks like it will be one of the best open source events of
| the year. The conference kicks off Monday, September 21st in
| Portland, Oregon, and there is a roster of excellent
| speakers, ranging from Linus Torvalds to Canonical's Mark
| Shuttleworth to Bob Sutor from IBM. Not everybody can make
| it to Portland, though, which is why it's great news that
| there will be opportunities to view all events via live and
| archived video streams. Some sessions are free, while others
| aren't. Here are the details.

LinuxCon Keynote Series: An Interview with IBMâs Bob Sutor
,----[ Quote ]
| Q: What are you most looking forward to at the debut year of
| LinuxCon?
|
| A: I always try to get an early sense of the vibe of a conference.
| Is there excitement among the participants? Are people looking
| forward to creating more technical innovation and greater business
| growth? Is the community expanding? Are there grand challenges that
| developers are ready to leap into? I think Iâll see, hear, and feel
| all that at LinuxCon. Iâm also looking to meet in person many of
| the people involved with the Linux Foundation.
