What happened to him Linus Torvalds; If you follow Linux development closely, you will know that discussions about the Linux kernel often get very heated.
Recently, Linus Torvalds admitted that the Linux Kernel 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." 
But it's not just Torvalds. And the Linux community has announced that it will adopt, for the first time, a "Code of Conduct".
The Linux developers had some code, but the older "Code of Conflict," failed to make the kernel community a friendlier group.
As Greg Kroah-Hartman, chief developer of the Linux kernel, wrote, “Code of Conflict does not achieve its indirect goal of promoting courtesy and a spirit of cooperation. Explicit instructions have been successful 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 engaging our project and our community for a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of ageς, σωματικού μεγέθους, αναπηρίας, εθνικότητας, φύλου, ταυτότητας και έκφρασης, το επίπεδο εμπειρίας, την εκπαίδευση, την κοινωνικοοικονομική κατάσταση, την εθνικότητα, την προσωπική 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 real 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.
