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.

    I guess SN is the last place I should expect the average user to understand the concept of community. Too many paranoid androids round these parts.

    We understand that you've read the COINTELPRO disinformation techniques and are putting them into practice.

      You're head is so far up your ass you take a simple truthful assessment as some intelligence style op? That is the problem with you paranoids, identity politics to the extreme and thus anything that doesn't go along with your beliefs must be explained away. No need to think, just be angry!

      I guess time will tell, but I doubt that will have any bearing on your outlook unless your fears are confirmed. Funny that you meritocrats so often reject facts and debate.
