The Linux Foundation original video, "How Linux Was Built," reached a
huge milestone in 2014, surpassing 1 million views on YouTube. The
video, one of the ten most popular on the Linux Foundation YouTube
channel last year, illustrates how thousands of software developers from
all over the world contribute collectively to the Linux kernel
codebase. It's the kind of video you can show to your parents and
friends that will help them understand what makes Linux such an amazing
software project. And its popularity also illustrates just how
mainstream Linux and open source software have become.
While the other nine most popular videos of the year haven't quite
reached a million views yet, they all help tell the story of Linux and
collaborative development in some way, whether it's through humor (Linus
reads mean tweets), fantastic technology demos (Dronecode launch),
training the next generation of Linux sysadmins, or simply seeing the
home offices of some of the kernel's key developers. They all help
reinforce how unique and important this work really is.
