While Linux is running our phones, friend requests, tweets, financial trades, ATMs and more, most of us don't know how it's actually built. This short video takes you inside the process by which the largest collaborative development project in the history of computing is organized. Based on the annual report "Who Writes Linux," this is a powerful and inspiring story of how Linux has become a community-driven phenomenon.

Linus Torvalds stated that without Richard Stallman's GNU software from the Free Software Foundation such as the GNU C compiler it would not have been possible to develop the Linux kernel or most of the open source programs. Linux uses the GPL.
