“There’s a common work ethic among the ragtag group of Linux
developers: get the technology right first, then tell the world
about it.
Not so with Linux. After years of toiling underground, Linux
developers — many of whom work on the alternative OS as a hobby in
addition to their day job — are ready to spread the religion.
What with the recent release of the 2.2.0 kernel behind them,
Linux developers are bragging that the OS is ready for prime time,
and they’re turning to business suit-clad marketing professionals
to help them get the word out.
The forum: the upcoming LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in San
Jose, Calif., where the geeks and glad handers will meet.”
