Linux 2.6 Kernel Pool Results

Posted by michael on from the lowered-expectations dept.

jafo writes "Steve Ratcliffe, Master Software Project Estimator, has most correctly estimated the release of the Linux version 2.6 kernel. On January 6, 2001 (within 4 hours of when the 2.6 kernel pool was opened), he entered a guess which was accurate within 15 hours. Check the results for some interesting statistics and submit your guess for the 2.8 pool." See the original story if you like.

    This link adds a guess for the 2.6 release. Anyone getting this wrong after the event deserves to lose ;-)

      It says that you're voting for 2.8, however the submission response page incorrectly states 2.6. You're voting for 2.8, and they'll correct the page eventually.
