Twenty years ago this summer, Linus Torvalds made a bold decision to share his operating system with the world

Not long after that, he chose to license it under the General Public License

Nothing in computing has been the same since.

In fact, today Linux is the largest collaborative development project in the history of computing, which means that the 20th Anniversary of Linux is an opportunity for the community to come together in celebration of this great success story and in collaboration on how it will define the next 20 years of Linux.

Today Linux is literally everywhere: 

in your phone,

at the movies,
