Jordan Hubbard Resigns from FreeBSD Core

Posted by timothy on from the well-deserved dept.

SteelX was one of many readers to cite this story in the Daily Daemon News which reports that "Jordan Hubbard is resigning from the FreeBSD core. Jordan is a founding member of the FreeBSD project." Note: According to this email, Hubbard is definitely not quitting FreeBSD; he's just changing the nature of his involvement with it.

    BSD software is mostly hand-me-downs from other projects. The point is that no major software emanates from FreeBSD - none.

    Gnome, KDE, Samba, Wine, etc. - all of these were started by the Linux community. They are at their heart Linux software. Hey, even FreeBSD had to switch their object file format because Linux did. BSD object files were dropped by the GCC project. Oh and Red Hat owns GCC now since buying out Cygnus. You know it. I know it. Deal with it.

    One of the things I like best about GNU/Linux, the operating system, is that it doesn't have a core team. It is a less-conservative approach than that of FreeBSD, and is part of the differentiation between GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. I personally prefer the GNU/Linux style, because among those 100+ distributions are some neat, innovative ideas. FreeBSD also has neat, innovative ideas, but I believe that their centralized control reduces the speed at which they can test these ideas. That said, FreeBSD can provide consistency and quality control in a way that GNU/Linux can't. Though an individual vendor can provide quality and consistency within their distrobution, it cannot enforce consistency between distrobutions (though the LSB is a good step toward identifying where it is important to be consistent).

    Linux, the kernel, has an informal core body, with people wandering in and out. It is a much smaller project than FreeBSD, since FreeBSD is more than just a kernel. Therefore, one should be careful when reasoning about the benefits FreeBSD development methodology would bring to Linux.
