'''Andrew Morton''' is a [[Linux kernel]] developer. He became the maintainer of the 2.6 kernel after [[Linus Torvalds]] released the first stable version on [[December 17]], [[2003]]. He is employed by [[OSDL]], along with Torvalds.

Morton is one of the top echelon Linux developers who rejected the use of [[BitKeeper]], which is [[proprietary software]]. He is often portrayed to be in a perpetual power struggle with [[Alan Cox]], amongst others, for the prestigious position of head kernel maintainer when Linus steps down.

Andrew Morton delivered the keynote speech at the 2004 [[Ottawa Linux Symposium]].
