一、Linus 全名：Linus Benedict Torvalds
Linus Torvalds，无可争议的Linux之父，几乎一己之力更新维护Linux内核，绝对的大神级存在.
Linus was born on December 28, 1969 in Helsinki, Finland. He enrolled at the University of Helsinki in 1988, graduating with a master's degree in computer science. His M.Sc.
Linus 于1969年12月28日出生于芬兰赫尔辛基。1988年，他就读于赫尔辛基大学，获得计算机科学硕士学位。他的理学硕士。
thesis was titled “Linux: A Portable Operating System” and was the genesis for what would become the most important collaborative software project in history.In August 1991, Linus announced that he was developing the Linux kernel, proclaiming, “it won’t be big and professional.” Never in the history of technology has someone been so wrong.
这篇论文的标题是“Linux：一个可移植的操作系统”，它是有史以来最重要的协作软件项目的起源。
1991年8月，Linus宣布他正在开发Linux内核，并宣称“它不会太大，也不会太专业”科技史上从未有人犯过如此错误。
In spite of his humble proclamation, Linux has become the world’s most pervasive operating system. Today the Linux kernel forms the basis of the Linux operating system and powers billions of Android devices, powers ChromeOS, and has permeated almost every industry and form factor. Smartphones, TVs, appliances, cars, nuclear submarines, air traffic control, stock exchanges, and scientific research all run Linux. Linux also provides the underpinnings of the internet and the cloud computing industry.
尽管他谦逊地宣称，Linux已经成为世界上最普及的操作系统。今天，Linux内核构成了Linux操作系统的基础，为数十亿Android设备提供了动力，为ChromeOS提供了动力，并渗透到几乎所有行业和形式因素。智能手机、电视、家电、汽车、核潜艇、空中交通管制、证券交易所和科学研究都运行Linux。Linux还为互联网和云计算行业提供了基础。
In 2005, citing a lack of free and open source version control tools that met his needs for performance and scale, Linus famously created Git in only 10 days. Today Git is widely used in software development and for other version-control tasks such as configuration management, and has become popular as an integral part of the DevOps culture.
2005年，Linus以缺乏满足其性能和规模需求的免费开源版本控制工具为由，在短短10天内创建了Git。如今，Git被广泛用于软件开发和其他版本控制任务，如配置管理，并已成为DevOps文化不可或缺的一部分。
In 2000, Linus was listed by Time Magazine as Number 17 in the Time 100: Most Important People of the Century. Again,
2000年，莱纳斯被《时代》杂志列为《时代》100强中的第17名：本世纪最重要的人物。再一次
in 2004, Time Magazine named him one of the Most Influential People in the world.
2004年，《时代》杂志将他评为世界上最有影响力的人物之一。
He was honored in 2008 with the Millennium Technology Prize by the Technology Academy Finland, “in recognition of his creation of a new open source operating system for computers leading to the widely used Linux kernel.” He is also the recipient of the 2014 IEEE Computer Society Computer Pioneer Award.
2008年，他被芬兰技术学院授予千年技术奖，“以表彰他为计算机创建了一种新的开源操作系统，从而导致了广泛使用的Linux内核。”他也是2014年IEEE计算机协会计算机先驱奖的获得者。
A true tech titan, he was admitted to the Computer History Museum Hall of Fellows, joining the ranks of the tech elite including Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, Tim Berners-Lee, Gordon Moore, Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Steve Wozniak, and others.
作为一名真正的科技巨头，他被允许进入计算机历史博物馆Fellows大厅，加入了科技精英的行列，包括海军少将格雷斯·默里·霍珀、蒂姆·伯纳斯·李、戈登·摩尔、肯·汤普森、丹尼斯·里奇、史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克等。
Torvalds remains the ultimate authority on what new code is incorporated into the standard Linux kernel.
Torvalds 仍然是标准Linux内核中新代码的最终权威。
