A “let’s not talk about social media but instead talk

about why we should talk about social media”

talk

• Cd’s

• 1st class mail

• Linux Platform Stack $10.8 billion

• 204 million lines of code

“The rate of change in the [Linux] kernel is high and increasing, with almost 10,000 patches going into recent kernel releases.

These releases each contain the work of nearly 1000 developers representing well over 100 corporations.

…over 70% of all kernel development is demonstrably done by developers who are being paid for their work”

Today Linux services and hardware represent billions of dollars in revenue, and IBM estimates it saves nearly a billion dollars per year over what it would cost to develop a Linuxlike operating system on its own.
