Maxim Stewart has been using FOSS for roughly 6+ years now and has loved every minute of it. FOSS has given him the freedom to explore and question how things work and as such, it has given him skills in the fields of troubleshooting, programming, and IT to improve the world one byte at a time. He has striven to share his knowledge through platforms such as Youtube, Opensource.com, and elsewhere. Furthermore, he is the maintainer of a fledgling OS called Sol-OS (NOT Solus) which aims to be lightweight and feature packed. It has also served as a means to improve his programming skills in Java, C++, Javascript, Bash, and other languages.

This is one I often forget but is such gold to have.

"So what are you all going to do? Create a democracy? Anarchy? A dictatorship? A federation?"

Power coalesced to one point is always scary when thought about in the context of succession. A vacuum invites anarchy and I often think about this for when Linus Torvalds leaves the picture. We really have no concrete answers for what is the best way forward but my hope is towards a democratic process. But, as current history indicates, a democracy untended by its citizens invites quite the nightmare and so too does this translate to the keeping up of a project.
