Ask New 2.4 Maintainer Marcelo Tosatti Anything

Posted by timothy on from the except-the-nude-beaches dept.

Linus keeps hinting (declaring, even) that he's nearly ready to work full-time on the 2.5 development branch of his kernel, and hand the 2.4 kernel off to Marcelo Tosatti. Marcelo's graciously agreeed to answer questions (you might want to read some of his mailing list contributions first), so here's your chance to ask him what he'll do in the famous footsteps of Linus and Alan Cox, and how he got there. Please only put one question per post; we'll pass along the top-rated comments to Marcelo for his answers, and hear back from him shortly.

    Who would win in a fight? You, Alan Cox, or Linus?

  2. Too many questions for Marcelo - Ask Slashdot??? by tercero · · Score: 4, Funny

    After the interview is all said and done. That's only ~10 questions. I'm seeing a lot more than 10 very important (IMHO) questions. Some of these questions being unanswered is a big contributor to why Linux is not so readily accepted in the corporate world.

    Where can we get the questions answered? I think that there ought to be a Linux kernel documentation project to bring the docs up to speed and answer questions like this. I have not the knowledge of the kernel for this, but such a project would be invaluable to the Linux community.

    Now that you are suddenly famous, do you see a lot of girls flocking to you yet?
