| Agenda Setters: Where are they now... Linus Torvalds |
|---|
As the countdown continues to silicon.com's fifth annual Agenda Setters poll of tech's 50 most influential individuals, it is time to look back at those individuals who held top 10 positions in 2003. Today we review the year that's been in open source.
Linus Torvalds is among the select few who have made the Agenda Setters poll every year since its inception in 2000. Last year, he reached his highest spot ever, coming in a number 5.
Though he remains active in and vocal on open source issues - he's now working for the Open Source Development Labs in Beaverton, Oregon - Torvalds is chosen again and again for what he represents. He's the symbolic leader of the open source movement, the embodiment of the idea that there's always an alternative.
