Linus Torvalds is Back in Charge of Linux (zdnet.com)

At Open Source Summit Europe in Edinburgh, Scotland, Linus Torvalds is meeting with Linux's top 40 or so developers at the Maintainers' Summit. This is his first step back in taking over Linux's reins. From a report: A little over a month ago, Torvalds stepped back from running the Linux development community. In a note to the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML), Torvalds said, "I need to change some of my behavior, and I want to apologize to the people that my personal behavior hurt and possibly drove away from kernel development entirely. I am going to take time off and get some assistance on how to understand people's emotions and respond appropriately." That time is over. Torvalds is back.

Whether he'll be a kinder and gentler Torvalds remains to be seen. In the Linux 4.19 announcement, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linux's temporary leader and maintainer of the stable branch, wrote: "Linus, I'm handing the kernel tree back to you. You can have the joy of dealing with the merge window :)"

fuck SJWs

I'm going to spend some karma points and just come out and say it: Fuck SJW's. I hope Corey Ehmke gets hit by a bus, and lives, and then gets slow stomach cancer and spends the next few years in excruciating pain before finally rotting in hell.

Exactly, it's all just rumours and conspiracy theories and no substance. Reminds me of McCarthyism - whatever was really there was dwarfed by the paranoia, the fear that SJWs are everywhere and anyone could be one.
