Hi all: Jim Zemlin, executive director of The Linux Foundation interviewed Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux kernel.
Linus represents the best of Open Source and interviews such as the one below place in pragmatic terms why aspiring geeks should focus on solving technical problems. Part-I The discussion essentially focussses on "What motivates you to work on Linux ?" and "What is the future of Linux kernel ?"

Podcast (OGG) http://podcasts.linux-foundation.org/ogg/feb_08/Torvalds5-Section2.ogg Transcript http://linux-foundation.org/weblogs/openvoices/linus-torvalds-part-ii/ One aspect that stands out about Linus Torvalds is that he doesn't sport a "overgrown beard" or throw some "philosophical fattas" to exert influence on core issues. Stay tuned, there is more geeky information about Linus Torvalds coming your way. thanks Saifi.
