Opening Keynote
summary
Covers why Linux grew from hobby code into a global engineering platform: concrete metrics (10,519 lines added daily; 7.38 changes/hour), commercial results (Red Hat and IBM stock gains versus Microsoft), and deployment counts (1.3M Android activations/day, 92% of HPC, 85% of stock exchanges). Explains tactics that worked—giving code away, organic communities, debate over brainstorming—and describes corporate moves like formal external R&D and projects such as OpenDaylight and Zen joining the Linux Foundation.
