The story of Zach goes like this – his school organized a project where students were asked to write a letter to their heroes, while most kids wrote to celebrities, Zach wrote to the ‘real’ hero of the modern technology world – Linus Torvalds.
Since Linus works from home he doesn’t disclose his ‘work’ address, so Zach’s letter went to The Linux Foundation, which scans all letters before sending them to Linus. When the foundation saw this letter they contacted Zach’s school and, being as generous as they are, invited him to LinuxCon so that he could meet his hero in person.
Be sure to watch the video interview. This kids is interesting for a 13 year old.
Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

Now I know how to get a hold of Torvalds. If only a linux Documentation hero could be spawned the war could be fought with more than just device-drivers. It could be the dynamic triplets, Stallman ,Torvalds and some one to help you get x from crashing. Zach that person could be you!
I see his still not confident of what he is saying. but he is a good guy, my friend, started to be interested in Linux from about 10 years, and he is, I think, 16 now
it's nice to see that in some years he will replace me in my work
