As the person alleged to having made the initial remark: nobody at the Collaboration Summit panel said that Linux is not attracting younger developers. Every three-month cycle gets contributions from over 1000 developers, many of whom are new to the process. Attracting developers is not the problem. The thing I was concerned about was the ageing of the core group of subsystem maintainers - who have been doing the same thing for a long time - and whether there was room at the upper levels for up-and-coming hackers. A real concern (though not a huge problem, yet), but a different one.
