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.

Or, a kind of canary. Remember when the truecrypt guys announced retirement and suggested people to use Microsoft's solution instead? That kind of heads up.
First the Catholics gets a backup pope, then the Orthodox split, now Torvalds and LKML. Interesting times.
Soon Poettering will ask Linus to relinquish control of the kernel to systemd (you're surrounded, Linus, keep those hands away from the git push button)
