You might not consider Oracle your traditional open source company, but when it comes to Linux, the company is no different from Red Hat or SUSE. Officially, Wim Coekaerts is Senior Vice President of Operating Systems and Virtualization Engineering at Oracle and heads the Linux kernel team at the company and his team works on upstream kernel projects. All the work by Oracle is done on upstream and then teams pull the code from Greg Kroah-Hartman's stable branch. Coekaerts' team includes maintainers or core upstream projects including XFS, Linux NFC Client, Linux SCUSI layer and so on. I sat down with Coekaerts for almost an hour-long interview at the Oracle Open
