Today I read "Women and the culture of free software: A Study" written by Val Henson. It is very interesting. I copied a funny version of "Chinese and the culture of free software: A study.

Chinese contribution to Linux Kernel


(The 2005 Linux kernel Summit)


(The 2006 Linux kernel Summit)

Linus Torvalds complained that the Chinese contributed too little to the Linux kernel. This makes sense. It is difficult to find a yellow face from the two top Linux kernel figures. Even if they are all Chinese, the contribution of the Chinese to the Linux kernel is also poor. In fact, the contribution of Chinese people to the Linux kernel is similar to that of women to the Linux kernel, but half of the world is women, and only 1/4 of the Chinese people are. Linus Torvalds only reports complaints against Chinese people rather than women, racial discrimination exists.

Hacker and bearded man

Hackers usually have a long beard.


The development of Java programming language is closely related to the rise and fall of the Free Software culture. Women do not have a long beard, so they are excited if they do not participate in free software development. Chinese people do not like to have a long beard, so they are excited if they do not participate in free software development. In fact, in ancient times, Chinese people love to have a long beard. Unfortunately, they did not catch up with the trend of Free Software. Modern Chinese people do not have the habit of having a long beard. When free software comes out, it only means that the Chinese people are ahead of the way.

In order to let China's Free Software flourish, I not only intend to grow myself into a big beard, but also want to encourage the broncho team to become a big beard. But Linus Torvalds didn't have a big beard at last, so I 'd like to wait.

Free Software Development and Cooperation

Free Software developers like to work with others
Chinese software developers! Like to work with others
Launch: it is difficult for Chinese software developers to become free software developers

Ordinary Chinese people like gangs, but Chinese software developers like to fight alone. When someone else sees a software program, if they find its bug, they will not make a patch and submit it to the original author, but will scold the author for not doing well. If it is profitable, you may also do one by yourself. As a result, many similar but imperfect software may appear. At the same time, the original author is often afraid that others will peat his "core" technology, rather than willing to cooperate with others. Free Software developers are the opposite. They like to work with others and work together to make the software ready.

Free software requires free time

Software developers in China are born to hate being born in the United States. There is no way. Now we are in the initial accumulation stage of Capitalism. To make a minority richer, we have to work overtime to write programs. Where can I develop free software without the freedom of time. Large companies in China are even more difficult. They do not have the habit of funding free software developers. Large companies such as Huawei and ZTE have no support for several well-known open-source projects, they also prohibit employees from communicating with free software developers, even if they seek help from open-source communities, they also need to include:

The result is, of course, the foreign hackers get the best of them.
