“Jim Zemlin is the Executive Director of the Linux
Foundation, and earlier this month he sat down with the Open Source
Programs Office’s Jeremy Allison for a chat about the future of
Linux. In addition to talking about the future, Jim shares insights

development, including the work of Linus Torvalds. (0:18)

* Jeremy and Jim talk about the organizations that support the
Linux Foundation, and their reasons for doing so. (2:21)

Foundation, and Jeremy asks Jim to delve further into the topic of
one of his talks, where he describes his vision of “Linux
Everywhere.” (4:55)”
