The Chief Open-Source Officer at Cardano Foundation, Dirk Hohndel, sat down in an exclusive Q&A with Linux creator, Linus Torvalds, at the Open Source Summit in Austin.
Commenting on the event, Hohndel stated, “Open-source is about communities. It’s about bringing together people from different companies, countries, and backgrounds. The Cardano Foundation is focused on driving the adoption of blockchain technology and we strongly believe that building a vibrant open-source community around our technology is a key part [of] achieving that goal. “
Hohndel also stated that “The Linux Foundation, with its outstanding track record as a facilitator of collaboration around interesting open-source technology, is a perfect place for us to be.”
In addition, Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, noted that “The Cardano Foundation represents a natural path to adoption of blockchain technologies to enable decentralized computing across a diverse set of applications.”
