Andrew Morton's 2004 OLS keynote

Description:
I recently presented a brief tribute to Andrew Morton at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory
Management, and BPF Summit ; it included a suggestion that reading (or re-reading) his 2004 Ottawa Linux Symposium keynote would be instructive.
This talk, given immediately after the Kernel
Summit session that decided to fundamentally change the kernel's
development model, tells a lot about how the kernel project got to where it
is today. The text of that speech was hosted on Groklaw, and has since
been replaced by crypto spam, which is rather less useful. In the hopes of preserving this seminal moment, the transcript has been rescued from the Wayback Machine and is presented here.
