| 8. Linus Torvalds â Linux
|
| Open source technology has been around for
| more than a decade, and itâs true that Linus
| Torvalds is not, strictly speaking, its
| inventor. But his evangelism of the concept
| during the past decade has made open source a
| serious force in both the commercial and
| public sector markets. Torvalds even believes
| that the model could be expanded to work in
| spheres other than software: âThe future is
| open source everything,â he is quoted as
| having said. Already, the open source movement
| has been the inspiration for increased
| transparency and liberty in other fields,
| including the release of biotechnology
| research by CAMBIA, Wikipedia, and other
| projects. The open-source concept has also
| been applied to media other than computer
| programs, for example by Creative Commons.

| Secondly, have posted two videos of wild Brazilians saying "Linus we love
| you, Linus we need you". The first video is also part of the closing of
| FISL10, where I declared that FISL10 was the best conference that I have ever
| attended. The cooperation of the volunteers that put it on, the sponsors, the
| government, the attendance of President Lula, and the low cost to attend, the
| value of the conference and the enthusiasm of the (approximately 6000)
| attendees made it spectacular.
|
| And of course we chanted "Linus we love you, Linus we need you" in an attempt
| to attract the architect of the Linux kernel to the next FISL conference.
