Linus Torvalds apologizes and promises to change

What about Linus Torvalds? If you follow closely the development of Linux, you will know that discussions about the Linux kernel often get very heated.

Recently, Linus Torvalds admitted that his mailing list Mailing List (LKML) and other Linux development sites are very hostile to many. Torvalds announced that he would change his behavior and apologized to "the people whose personal behavior harmed me and may have made it difficult for the nucleus to develop." Linus Torvalds

But it's not just Torvalds. And the Linux community has announced that it will adopt, for the first time, a "Code of Conduct".

Linux developers had some , αλλά ο παλαιότερος “Code of Conflict,” απέτυχε να κάνει την κοινότητα του πυρήνα μια πιο φιλική .

As Greg Kroah-Hartman, a top Linux developer, wrote , the “Code of Conflict does not achieve its implicit goal of promoting civility and a spirit of cooperation. The explicit instructions have brought success in other projects and in other areas of the core.”

The new code is simple. Starts:

To promote an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers are committed to participating in our project and our community for a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender, and expression, level of experience, education, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, personal appearance, race, religion or sexual identity and orientation.

The new code is based on the Contributor Covenant in open source projects and is already being used by projects such as Eclipse, Kubernetes and Rails. Created by Coraline Ada Ehmke, software developer and hotspot of open source.

What will happen next? Sage Sharp, a developer who abandoned the Linux community due to its toxic environment, published a tweet describing the situation in a few words:

"OR test is whether the community that Linus created and protects can change. The Linux kernel community and myself will have to change as well.”

To see what happens.
