Getting the right kind of contributions

| Discouraging patches that aren't particularly useful in a way that won't
| chase off prospective kernel hackers is hard. Al Viro's rather intemperate
| call for discussion of a linux-wanking mailing list on linux-kernel is
| probably not the right approach. He was responding to a patch that
| reformatted a kernel header file to line up the arguments. Viro is not known
| for his diplomatic skills, but he was responding to a problem that he and
| other kernel hackers see. There is an increasing amount of trivial cleanup
| work being submitted that is not translating to more substantial, useful
| contributions later on.

Linux Market to Triple by 2012
,----[ Quote ]
| Analyst firm Research and Markets has just put out a project on Linux-based
| server and client hardware sales, and is projecting that the market will more
| than triple between 2007 and 2012.
|
| A market for a platform is not the same as an ecosystem for it, which is much
| larger in that it includes the cost of people and third-party software and
| services for the code that runs atop the platform. So the R&M Linux market
| numbers might seem a little small. In any event, the consultancy pegged the
| Linux product and services market for Linux running on servers and clients
| (but not embedded systems) at $2.4 billion in 2007.
