Keynote: A Conversation with Linux and Git Creator Linus Torvalds
summary
Kernel development runs on a steady cadence and releases every three months from a home office in Portland, with the creator noting Linux powers billions of devices and created Git in 10 days for version control. Security improves through static and runtime checks plus fuzzing, though absolute security is impossible. Porting Linux into cars takes years — he cites seven years for automotive integration — and the project still attracts thousands of new contributors per release, from tiny fixes to device drivers.
