Linus Torvalds: Speaks on the State of Open Source

Linus Torvalds Speaks on where Linux stands and the state of Open Source development. This is how he approaches Linux Kernel development.. also there's a lot of unnecessary hype and drama around Linux and Open source.

Have you ever contributed to open source?

[emmanuelgenga]

I made my first contribution last week, I've wanted to contribute to open source since my college days didn't really find a good place to contribute where I could offer some value to people without disrupting the flow of development. I'm sympathetic to people who manage open source cause not everyone is understanding. After 4 years, I've found something I love to contribute to and I'm just chipping in a few days at a time.

I have been involved on projects around Linux since the early days. Heard about Linux on a BBS, to age myself a bit. Not as much now as I was then as I run a business, but still make contributions to several projects. The important thing to remember is that you do not have to know anything about coding or development to contribute. There are many ways, and I am not talking about just financial. Testing, documentation, or even just helping others.

The issue too is that small and one-man projects usually see no funding, something most of us - Linux or not - hate about regular free to use programs whose code however is closed. These closed source projects usually go the route via funding through banners on their website or freemium models, something relatively unheard of with FOSS.
The bigger projects also ask for funding and support, in reality however, these are the ones backed by bigtech all the time that do require less care to something small that could actually still take off.
