Yes, I do see a bias as this was written from the Linux community's point of view.

Honestly what is Google's point of view. Mark Shuttleworth has been quite forthright with his point of view. We may not agree with it, but we know what it is.

I would welcome an contributed article from Google's business point of view.

when you are pointing at Bias, are you saying that the presentation that is being reported on is biased? or that LWN wrote a biased report on the presentation?

If you are complaining about the presentation that's being reported on, that presentation was being made by a Linux community person, and was being presented from that point of view, so it will be biased by that.

The article itself is not bias, it just presented what another presenter stated. As for the presenter, well of course he's bias, and why not? He's part of the kernel community. What I actually found amusing, was how much credit he gave to Google. He basically said "they won".

Actually, this was one of James's least bias presentations (I was not there, I only read the article). Now maybe LWN was bias and made James's presentation seem less bias than it was. But I can't say, because I wasn't there ;)
