The Linus and Dirk show

This is an interview (fireside chat?) between Linus Torvalds, Creator of Linux & Git and Dirk Hohndel, VP & Chief Open Source Officer of VMware. You might find the video a little dry, however it does give an insight into the people and processes behind the Linux Kernel and Linux Kernel development.

It would be interesting to compare what you see here against the ‘leaders’ of major software behemoths, and ask the question ‘who do you trust to develop your Operating System’ which effectively takes care of all your data and online activities, and see if this conflicts with your choice of software.
