Interview: Ask Linus Torvalds a Question

Posted by samzenpus on from the go-ahead-and-ask dept.

samzenpus writes: Linus Torvalds, the man behind the development of the Linux kernel, needs no introduction to Slashdot readers. Recently, we talked about his opinion on C++, and he talked about the future of Linux when he's gone. It's been a while since we sat down with Linus to ask him questions, so he's agreed to do it again and answer any you may have. Ask as many questions as you'd like, but please keep them to one per post.

    When are you going to finally write a proper microkernel, which everyone, including you secretly, knows is far superior?

    Dear Mr. Torvalds,

    what are your steps towards achieving gender equality among the subsystem maintainer group? Why haven't you introduced a 50% female quota yet, to encourage females to start programming? Also, why haven't you considered naming a benevolent dictator-ess for life, so that the dictator leader role isn't solely occupied by a male?

    Sincerely,
