"The OSS is a meritocracy. If you are the chairman of IBM and you submit a patch to the kernel or to KDE that is rubbish they will tell you. They don’t care who you are, how much experience you have or how nice a guy you are.

As someone who finds sucking up in business intolerable this is very refreshing." - Mike Arthur
