 The Linux community spoke out this year about how open source and collaboration are making amazing things happen when collected in one place their quotes send a strong message. Developers are changing the world one line of code at a time. Anybody who's going to build anything is just de facto reaching to Linux. The world runs on software. We literally have the power to change the world because we have created all of these tools that the world runs on. Open source is everywhere. Now it's time to take it to the next level and make the world a better place. As a global society we'll be so much better off if we adopt free and open source software. In 25 years of doing this work I have never seen us fail to rise to a challenge. Linux is not just another OS anymore than the Internet is just another network. It is a way to develop. It's a way to do things that couldn't be done otherwise. Open source is a correct way of doing complicated systems and getting things done right. The people that we have in the open source community have at their heart this extraordinarily generous view of what's possible. It's gonna be interesting to see what we end up doing with Linux and where it goes. There's never been a better time to be a software engineer. There's no better time to be working on platforms like Linux. Let's celebrate an inspiring year and toast to the bright future ahead for 2014.
