In this opportunity Mariano Blejman, from ( while staying in) Prague, interview Linus Torvalds, the engineer who created Linux, the kernel that revolutionized the way of developing software worldwide. At  http://www.360tvdigital.com.

Two decades ago, Linus Torvalds,  a Finnish student of computer science created a free and open operating system that today is used in thousands of million computers, including those of leading companies like Google, Facebook, The Fishnet, Wall Street, and the 80 % of the Internet  servers.

In the world of software are two big groups: that of the private licenses like Microsoft and Apple, where you have to pay for every program that it uses; and that of the free licenses, in which the world of Linux, GNU, and Google in some way, proclaims that the software you used has permissions to be copied, used, distributed and modified freely.

In this exclusive interview of an hour of duration, Torvalds talks about how it is possible that an structure of thousands of programmers, whose are being employed separately at the whole planet, works without a central headquarter and why the big corporations have trust in Linux.

"Linux is a network. We do not have problems of organization because we do not have an organization! Actually we have, but it has to see with the connection of the people, more that with something external” claims Torvalds, who has created the system when he was only 21 years old.

The Finn who was chosen in 2004 by TIMES magazine as one of the most influential men of the world, tells to Mariano Blejman how to resist the war of patents while Apple and Microsoft are trying  to stop the growth of a system that anyone can use.


Passionate and pragmatic, he speaks about Google, Android, the tablets, Facebook. Also talks about  where he expected  Linux goes, how his mistakes are solved and how Microsoft, together with Nokia, managed to bury the project that Linux had for cellphones called Meego.
