Linus Torvalds
Creator and long-time maintainer of the Linux kernel, and the author of Git. Runs the kernel in public on a mailing list, which is why both his position on how to talk to contributors and his abandonment of it are on the record in his own words.

We collected these quotes from things they published elsewhere, and every quote links to where it was said. They have no account here and have not endorsed this site. Quotes are word for word; the short line under each one is our own restatement, not their wording. Their own site. Is this you? Claim it or ask us to remove it. Or tell us what is wrong here.
