Programmers aren't always easy to get along with, and Linux programmers... we'll be nice and say they are a particular sort. The Open Source Development Labs seems to agree. OSDL employs Linux founder Linus Torvalds and his right-hand man Andrew Morton, and now they're forming an advisory board to help interface with Linux programmers worldwide.
