CNN Sits Down With Linus Torvalds
just_another_sean writes "Calling him 'reclusive' and the 'leader of the Open Source Revolution' CNN has an interview with Linus Torvalds. From the article: "I actually only work with a few handfuls so I tend to directly interact with maybe 10 - 20 people and they in turn interact with other people. So depending on how you count, if you count just the core people, 20 -50 people. If you count everybody who's involved; five thousand people -- and you can really put the number anywhere in between... Almost, pretty much all, real work is done over e-mail so it doesn't matter where people are."
Three degrees. Linus Torvalds was in The Code (2001) with Miguel de Icaza. Miguel de Icaza was in Antitrust (2001) with Tim Robbins. Tim Robbins (I) was in Mystic River (2003) with Kevin Bacon.
