NOTE: This only has the last 20 minutes of the talk + Q&A
 Linux and open source are at the core of our infrastructure. This is the story of how we went from a passive user of the Linux kernel to an active contributor. Running old kernels with many internal patches is painful. We were also missing out on the new optimizations and features provided by newer kernel. Our solution? Investing in the kernel by going upstream first. We identified area of interest and we are now in the top contributors list. You can do it too.  Learn from our pain.
