Wassup ppl, The following article contains 2 lists : People who matter most in the World and the people who don't. Interestingly, Linus Torvalds , the President of Sony and Rob Malda (who gave us Slashdot) are in the latter list.

Here's what they say about Linus:
"t's a testament to the success of Torvalds's open-source ideas that he's on this list at all. His Linux operating system is fast, cheap, and out of control - and that's entirely by design. While Torvalds still oversees any changes made to the innermost core of Linux, most of the innovation is now done by others, and commercial businesses like Red Hat and Novell increasingly steer its future. Although he can claim credit for popularizing one of the most powerful ideas ever to sweep through the software industry, Torvalds's project has matured to such an extent that it's largely outgrown its illustrious creator."
Has Linux really outgrown Linus? He still seems to exercise a lot of control to try and keep the kernel slim. The recent COW vs vmsplice() debate for example. Here it is:

PS: Rob Malda (CmdrTaco) of Slashdot is also on that list.

I think the discussion is about "Who does not matter to the World anymore ?". So IMO still RMS matters a lot to the world :)
