Linux chief: Open source is safer, and Linux is more secure than any other OS
================================================================================
In an interview with Linux Foundation executive director Jim Zemlin, VentureBeat got a birds-eye view of the future of the open-source operating system for 2014.
We also addressed the controversial issues of government spying and “backdoors” — those nefarious windows into our personal online lives that the public recently discovered in most of the services we use every day.
Zemlin gave us the skinny on how and why GNU/Linux remains the most secure option for concerned consumers — and why its becoming the OS of choice for powering cars, phones, TVs, and all kinds of emerging devices.
Heres our e-mail transcript in a bare-naked Q&A format.
----------
**VentureBeat: Security and privacy has been the hottest topic this year, bar none. Weve heard rumors that Linus [Torvalds, Linux creator] OKd a Linux backdoor for the government.**
**Zemlin**: If there were a backdoor in Linux, youd know it.
The whole world can see every line of code in Linux. This is one of the reasons Linux is more secure than other operating systems and why open-source software overall is a safer than closed software. The transparency of the code ensures its secure.
And for the record: He wasnt approached.
**VentureBeat: How committed is the foundation to preserving Linux users privacy and freedom from tracking/surveillance?**
**Zemlin**: As committed as we have always been. Its very difficult to insert something into the kernel that would violate privacy and freedom without thousands of developers noticing. The nature of Linux is that its self-policing.
**VentureBeat: Do you think theres any chance that this years privacy/security/surveillance issues has driven or will drive more consumers toward Linux?**
**Zemlin**: Around the world, I am hearing people say, “Using open source is a critical to ensure privacy.” So yes, I think that will drive more users people to Linux.
I also think more consumers are being driven toward Linux for a variety of reasons, in addition to the confidence and trust they have about privacy and security related to the platform. The transparency of the code and development process gives increasingly knowledgeable and aware consumers an option they feel good about.
[Video game publisher] Valve and [its work on SteamOS][1] is driving more consumers to Linux, as is the ongoing dominance of Android and other consumer devices that run Linux — from televisions to appliances, cars, and more.
**VentureBeat: Do you have any thoughts on the Ubuntu Edge for phones? Where do you see the market for Linux/Ubuntu phones going in 2014-2015?**
**Zemlin**: I like seeing potentially interesting new products go to market, especially when theyre Linux-based. It is hard to predict what product will produce a big hit in the phone market from year to year.
I dont think it is a stretch to predict phones based on Linux will dominate. Android, Tizen, Ubuntu, Firefox, and more show that Linux can drive innovation in the mobile market and create new experiences for consumers and market opportunities for developers and OEMs.
Whats exciting about the year ahead, and what Ill be watching, is how Linux and open source will help connect all of these devices, objects, and services together.
**VentureBeat: Whats the most exciting use case youve seen so far for Linux embedded in automobile systems?**
**Zemlin**: No question its the in-vehicle-infotainment systems being built by Cadillac, Tesla, Toyota, Jaguar, Land Rover, and others.
For example, the Tesla Model S, which won the Motor Trend Car of the Year [honor] in 2013, features a 17-inch flat-screen computer running a custom-built Linux OS. This is really, really cool stuff.
And the 2014 Motor Trend Car of the Year was just revealed — the Cadillac CTS sedan — and it also uses Linux for its in-vehicle-infotainment system. Car makers are able to innovate and differentiate with these systems using Linux.
The success of Linux here can be seen in the latest numbers from IHS Automotive, which reported this month that sales of automotive Linux are expected to rise to 53.7 million units in 2020, passing Microsoft and Blackberry QNX in the global automotive infotainment market.
The Linux Foundation does a lot of work in this area with its Automotive Grade Linux workgroup. By hosting a neutral, supportive environment among the Linux kernel community, other open-source communities, and the automotive industry, were able to help advance automotive Linux technologies among some of the worlds largest automakers including Nissan, Jaguar, Land Rover, Toyota, and more.
**VentureBeat: How is Linux growing beyond the hardcore developer market, especially with regard to consumers and gamers?**
**Zemlin**: This year has been a turning a point for Linux with gamers for sure. Valve, the gaming company behind the Steam web platform for Linux, builds and runs all of its source code and animation on Linux. Valves CEO Gabe Newell reported at LinuxCon this year that theyre running 198 games on Linux, and with the introduction of the Linux-based Steam, that number will only continue to go up. This is the beginning of a new trend for Linux and gaming.
Consumers use Linux every day. It is the software that runs our lives. Companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter are built on Linux and open-source software. At our LinuxCon Europe conference in October, Twitters Chris Aniszczyk told the audience: “Twitter is of course all running on Linux. Why would you need anything else?”
Linux now powers the 1.3 million Android phones that are activated daily, and most of the nearly 600,000 new TVs sold every day. New appliances and cars are being built with Linux. Major transportation systems use the operating system. The superpopular [GoPro uses Linux and open source][2]. The examples are endless.
And Linux and open source will just keep reaching more into mainstream consumer life. Samsung uses the Linux kernel and Linux-based products throughout its product line, from TVs to phones to home appliances and more.
Stay tuned — youll see more coming that illustrates the growing role of Linux and open source software and collaborative development in everyday life.
**VentureBeat: What are the biggest opportunities for free and open-source software in 2014, in your opinion?**
**Zemlin**: Weve talked about gaming and consumer devices, but the enterprise continues to present even more opportunity for Linux. The rise of cloud computing is creating new challenges for developers and new opportunities for growth. Try to find a public cloud thats not running Linux.
The realization of years of promise in software defined networking will be one of the major stories of 2014. People dont appreciate how big software defined networking and network function virtualization will become. Think about it. Billions of dollars are spent on hardware based switches, routers, load balancers, firewalls, etc.; this is all being abstracted into software. More importantly it is being abstracted via open source software in the sweet spot for OSS which is at this infrastructure layer. I think youll see projects like OpenDaylight and others have a big breakout year in 2014.
Of course, this is all part of a broader trend towards collaborative development, which should be of interest to your readers. Id predict that in another decade nearly all of infrastructure software will be built collaboratively. Developers in 2014 need to learn how to build software collaboratively and how to work on and contribute to open source software projects. Their career opportunities will be endless if they understand the principles of collaborative development and open source software.
Its a thrilling time to be involved in Linux. Its become the de facto platform to go to for everything from smart watches to TVs to automobiles, you name it.

Linux 宗旨开源很安全Linux比其它任何系统都安全
================================================================================
在对Linux基金会执行官Jim Zemlin 的采访中VentureBeat 展望了2014开源操作系统的未来。
We also addressed the controversial issues of government spying and “backdoors” — those nefarious windows into our personal online lives that the public recently discovered in most of the services we use every day.
我们也探讨了争议性的话题,就是政府部门的监听事件以及‘后门’-那些邪恶的窗口,窥探我们网上的私生活,最近公众发现我们经常使用的大多数服务都有类似的遭遇。
Zemlin gave us the skinny on how and why GNU/Linux remains the most secure option for concerned consumers — and why its becoming the OS of choice for powering cars, phones, TVs, and all kinds of emerging devices.
Zemlin 为我们解释了 GNU/Linux 为什么以及如何使自身成为内心有些担忧的消费者的最安全的选择。还有就是为什么选择GNU/Linux作为车载操作系统TVs以及其他新兴设备的操作系统。
以下是我们e-mail问答形式的实录。
----------
**VentureBeat: 安全和隐私成为今年的热门话题我们听到的谣言Linus[Torvalds, Linux 创始人]对政府部门是否有安装后门的要求点头称是。**
**Zemlin**: Linux是否有后门你是可以知道的.
世界上所有人都可以看到Linux的每一行代码。这也是linux要比其他操作系统更安全、开源整体要比闭源更安全的原因之一。代码的透明度保证了它的安全性。
And for the record: He wasnt approached.
记录在案的是后门并没有进入到linux。
**VentureBeat: Linux基金会如何保证Linux用户的隐私和自由使其免于遭受追踪和监视**
**Zemlin**: 对此我们一以贯之。向内核插入违反隐私权和背离自由精神的代码而不被成千上万的开发者注意到这是很难的。Linux的本性就是自我定制。
**VentureBeat: 今年的隐私/安全/监视事件会不会促使, 或者将会促使更多的消费者倾向于Linux对此你作何感想**
**Zemlin**: 世界范围内我听到人们都在说“用开源保证隐私是必须的。”的确那会促使更多的使用者选择Linux。
除了他们对linux平台下的隐私和安全持自信、信任的态度以外 我认为消费者会基于多种原因选择Linux。
代码的透明性以及开发过程逐渐给予博学和警觉的消费者一个选择一个会让他们对linux感觉良好的选择。
[视频游戏发行商] Valve [及其SteamOS下的工作][1] 正在促使更多的消费者走进Linux就像逐渐占据主导的Android和其他运行Linux的电子设备一样比如电视、家电、汽车等当然还有更多。
**VentureBeat: 针对手机的Ubuntu Edge, 对它有何看法? 对于2014-2015年Linux/Ubuntu手机市场走势你作何预测*
**Zemlin**:我希望看到潜在的有趣的新产品进入市场尤其是基于Linux的产品。很难说每年哪款产品会成为手机市场的新宠。
我认为预测基于Linux的手机将占据主导地位不算夸大事实。Android, Tizen, Ubuntu, Firefox,等等等等都显示出Linux可以驱动手机市场的创新并且为消费者创造新的体验为开发者和OEMs创造机会。
明年令人振奋的及我所关注的就是linux和开源界如何把这些设备、对象和服务关联到一起。
**VentureBeat: Whats the most exciting use case youve seen so far for Linux embedded in automobile systems?**
**VentureBeat: 目前为止你看到的linux嵌入式车载系统的最令人激动的使用案例是什么**
**Zemlin**: 毫无疑问就是Cadillac, Tesla, Toyota, Jaguar, Land Rover等都搭建了车载信息娱乐系统。
比如,今年赢得了 “年度汽车族”奖项的Tesla Model S装备了一个17英寸平面、运行着定制Linux的电脑。这真的是太酷了。
2014年度汽车族刚刚揭晓 -- Cadillac CTS sedan, 也是使用linux作为车载信息娱乐系统。汽车制造商有能力使用linux进行创新并区别使用这些系统。
Linux的成功也能从来自IHS汽车的最新数据上看到IHS本月报告称在全球车载信息娱乐市场基于linux的汽车销量2020年有望达到5.37千万超过微软和黑莓QNX。
Linux基金会协同汽车级Linux工作组在该领域做了许多工作。通过在Linux内核社区其他开源社区以及汽车行业营造一个中立、支持性的环境针对一些世界上大的汽车制造商如日产捷豹路虎丰田等等我们可以帮助其推动汽车linux技术。
**VentureBeat: 在硬核开发者市场以外Linux是如何发展壮大的尤其是考虑到消费者和游戏玩家**
**Zemlin**:可以肯定的是对游戏玩家来说今年是linux的一个转折点。Valve, 基于Steam网络平台的一个游戏厂商在linux上构建并运行所有的源代码和动画。Valve CEO Gabe Newell 称今年的LinuxCon大会上他们在linux平台运行了198个游戏随着引进基于linux的Stream这个数字还会上升。这是Linux和游戏界新趋势的开端。
用户每天都在用linux。软件支撑着我们的日常生活。像GoogleFacebook还有Twitter等公司都建立在Linux和开源软件之上。去年10月份LinuxCon欧洲大会上来自Twitter的Chris Aniszczyk告诉观众
“Twitter 理所当然完全运行在linux上。为什么你们还需要其他的东西”(言外之意就是有linux就够了不需要别的什么东西了。)
如今Linux驱动着130万台日常用Android手机每天近60万基于linux的新电视售出。新的家电以及汽车都建立在linux之上。主要交通系统也都在使用linux。最受欢迎的[GoPro 使用linux和开源软件][2]。举不完的例子。
Linux和开源理念将会逐渐融入主流消费者的生活。三星使用linux内核以及基于linux的产品充实它的产品线从电视机到手机再到家电等等等等。
敬请关注 - 你会看到更多的实例无不展现出Linux和开源软件以及协同开发在日常生活中发挥越来越大的作用。
**VentureBeat: 在你看来到2014年免费和开源软件最大的机遇会是什么**
**Zemlin**: 我们已经谈到游戏和电子设备但是企业将会继续为linux呈现更多的机会。云计算的兴起为开发者带来新的机遇和挑战。你试着去找找没有运行在linux上的公共云。
软件定义的网络实现将成为2014年的主要活动之一。人们并没有期望着软件定义网络以及网络功能虚拟化变得多么大。想想吧。数十亿美元花费在硬件上交换机路由负载均衡器防火墙等等。这些都抽象成了软件。更更重要的是,它是在开源软件的基础架构甜蜜点OSS层被抽象。我认为你会看到像OpenDaylight项目以及其他项目在2014年都会有大的突破。
当然这只是实现协同发展的大趋势的一部分你的读者应该会对此感兴趣。我的推测是再过一个20年几乎所有的基础软件都会议协同开发的方式进行构建。2014年开发者需要学习如何以协同方式构建软件要学会如何参与开源项目并且贡献代码。如果开发者能够理解协同开发和开源的原则和理念那么他们职业生涯中的机遇将会是无穷的。
参与到linux的世界中来这是一个激动人心的时刻。从智能手表到电视机到汽车所有你能想到的Linux成为事实上的平台。
