Wired is running a 6 page article on Linus Torvalds; the creator of the Linux operating system. Its nice to see such a level headed person running the helm of Linux development (instead of a greedy, self-indulged, fanatic.)
In an interesting side note Larry McVoy (the founder of BitKeeper, the version control and configuration management system used in the Linux kernel development) posted a rundown of Linux kernel activity. The quick rundown is that the Linux kernel developers have averaged 179 changesets per day; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Thats about 65,337 changesets this year alone! That number does not even include the sizable group of developers who choose not to use BitKeeper (for ideological reasons; i.e. see fanatics above.) That rate of development may qualify the Linux kernel as the most actively developed software project on the face of the earth, commercial or otherwise.
