Linus Torvalds and Dirk Hohndel speak at the Open Source Summit

At The Linux Foundation's Open Source Summit North America, Linus Torvalds and his good friend Dirk Hohndel, Verizon's Head of the Open Source Program Office, once more had a wide-ranging conversation about Linux development and related issues.

Sadly, it's a summary and commentary on their talk, not really a detailed copy of their talk. It's quite interesting, and not a long read. Their thoughts on AI are amusing: 'Spell check with steroids'.

I would have expected there to be someone grumbling about what was said or how totally wrong Torvalds is about some decision or another. It sounds like the talk was well-received, which certainly clashes with the stereotype of open source developers and Linux / GNU enthusiasts.
