HEROES: Linus Torvalds

,----[ Quote ]
| He is the beloved man behind the penguin. 
| Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel and 
| operating system, is a hero to proprietary 
| software-hating developers everywhere. The 
| open-source movement, where software code 
| is developed in a collaborative way and 
| shared, has become a driving force in 
| computing. It all started with the modest 
| Torvalds, and he remains open source's 
| ambassador.

How old is our kernel?

,----[Quote  ]
| Answering this question is a simple matter 
| of bashing out some ugly scripts and 
| dedicating many hours of processing time. 
| In essence, the "git blame" command can be 
| used to generate an annotated version of a 
| file which lists the last commit to change 
| each line of code. Those commit IDs can be 
| summed, then associated with major version 
| releases. At the end of the process, one 
| has a simple table showing the percentage 
| of the current kernel code base which was 
| created for each major release since 
| 2.6.12.
