Thanks to lamefrog for this
report.

At the USENIX conference last week Linus gave an informal report
on the current state of Linux development to hundreds of
programmers.

The focus of the presentation was kernel development, but the
Q/A session covered a whole range of issues — from open-source
process to user desktops. The entire presentation is available in
video and in text at Dr.
Dobb’s TechNetCast
.
