"Ts'o was borrowed from IBM, and must return there in a year.
The previous CTO, Markus Rex, was borrowed from Novell, and thus
has just gone back.
"This recycling of leadership with private industry is the real
story. With Rex, Novell can now better internalize Linux'
direction. In that way he’s a caveman returning with
fire.
"IBM should gain the same benefits from Ts'o's stint. He will be
heading work on Linux Standard Base and act as the chief technical
interface to the kernel community."
