Adapteva CEO Andreas Olofsson answered questions about his company's $99 Parallella supercomputer during a live Twitter chat with the Linux community. Here's a recap.

Jobs again this year were a major theme in the State of the Union address with the President saying that we must train our students for the jobs of tomorrow. Guess what? Those jobs of tomorrow are Linux jobs. Maybe the President didn't realize he was talking about Linux, but we know that Linux is supporting the computing infrastructure that makes our 21st century lives possible. From the phones we use to the websites we frequent to the cars we drive, Linux is running it all. And nothing underscores this fact more than year-over-year demand for Linux talent to support its pervasiveness in every day life.

LinuxCon North America and CloudOpen won’t happen until September but the party has already started in New Orleans where the Mardi Gras celebration is in full swing this week and the recent Super Bowl was so hot it literally turned the power out.

Linux is literally everywhere, powering everything from the New York Stock Exchange to mobile phones to supercomputers and consumer electronics. More people have a stake in this shared resource than ever before, and that is represented by the number of people we're seeing at our events and Linux training courses to the support we receive in new memberships. It's also represented in our social channels.
