At Open Source Summit Europe in Scotland, Linus Torvalds is meeting with Linux's top 40 or so developers at the Maintainers' Summit. This is his first step back in taking over Linux's reins.

A little over a month ago, Torvalds stepped back from running the Linux development community. In a note to the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML), Torvalds said, "I need to change some of my behavior, and I want to apologize to the people that my personal behavior hurt and possibly drove away from kernel development entirely. I am going to take time off and get some assistance on how to understand people's emotions and respond appropriately."

That time is over. Torvalds is back.

He's a quick study if it only took him a month to learn how to understand people's emotions and respond appropriately.

    ...from a rabidly feminist source

    So true, feminism is out of control.
    Look, only a few days ago a mother of three killed the father in a US zoo [usnews.com].

    And you won't believe what happened next! The only reaction was [telegraph.co.uk]

    The death devastated zookeepers and the cause may never be understood, the curator of the zoo said.

    I say, better keep an eye on Linus, you never know... now you have him, next the zookeepers may be devastated by the lost of him!
