“When people first meet Linux Kernel SCSI subsystem
maintainer James Bottomley, one question that often comes up is,
“Why the bow tie?” Jeremy Allison, Samba co-founder and Google Open
Source Programs Office team member, spent time with James at
LinuxCon last month and uncovered the answer. After that, Jeremy
gets the backstory on the inspiration behind James’ LinuxCon talk
about how to convince management to embrace open source (4:58).
James also talked about how he became the SCSI subsystem maintainer
(1:54) and how he started working on open source
(6:47).”
