Google funds Linux kernel developers to work exclusively on security
Hardly a week goes by without yet another major Windows security problem popping up, while Linux security problems, when looked at closely, usually turn out to be blunders made by incompetent system administration. But Linux can't rest on its laurels. There are real Linux security concerns that need addressing. That's where Google and the Linux Foundation come in with a new plan to underwrite two full-time maintainers for Linux kernel security development, Gustavo Silva and Nathan Chancellor.
Silva and Chancellor's exclusive focus will be to maintain and improve kernel security and associated initiatives to ensure Linux's security. There's certainly work to be done.
