Linux开发者很少有人是为了钱才参与开发,他们拥有自己的正式工作,之所以用业余时间继续为Linux工作,完全是出于对技术的热爱、对自由软件的支持,这种真心投入是金钱无法收买到的。随着今年2月Linux内核2.2.0版本的正式推出,Linux的开发者们终于可以骄傲地将Linux介绍给其它人了。3月1日至4日,LinuxWorld大会在美国加州San Jose召开。尽管在多数人眼中,Linux仍算是一种另类的操作系统,不过我们注意到,参会的主流厂商绝不在少数。它们对Linux给予了慷慨的支持,这无疑也是对Linux的义务开发者们工作业绩最好的肯定。
Very few Linux developers participate in development for the sake of money. They have their own formal work. The reason why they continue to work for Linux in their spare time is entirely due to the love of technology and the support of free software. Money can’t be bought. With the official launch of the Linux kernel version 2.2.0 in February this year, Linux developers can finally proudly introduce Linux to others. From March 1st to 4th, LinuxWorld Conference was held in San Jose, California. Although in the eyes of most people, Linux is still considered as an alternative operating system, we have noticed that there are not many major manufacturers participating in the conference. They gave generous support to Linux, which is undoubtedly the best affirmation of the performance of Linux’s volunteer developers.
