Keynote

Managing Linus Torvalds and Other Small Challenges

Jim Zemlin, Executive Director, Linux Foundation

Track: O'Reilly Radar Executive Briefing
Date: Tuesday, July 24
Time: 1:40pm - 1:55pm
Location: Portland Ballroom

At the Free Standards Group, Jim Zemlin led the fight to keep Linux from fragmenting as Unix had done before it. Now the Executive Director of the Linux Foundation, created earlier this year from a merger of the FSG and the Open Source Development Labs, an industry consortium, he has the even bigger job of keeping his corporate sponsors in line and providing a neutral haven for key Linux developers, most notably Linus Torvalds. We'll explore with Jim how he sees the challenges ahead, and his game plan for world domination.
