Robert Matthew Love (born September 25, 1981) is an American author, speaker, and open source hacker.

He is best known for his contributions to the Linux kernel, with work on the preemptive kernel, process scheduler, kernel event layer, virtual memory subsystem, and inotify. Robert is also active in the GNOME community, working on NetworkManager, GNOME Volume Manager, Project Utopia and Beagle.

Robert received a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Florida in 2004. As of September 2005, he is taking graduate classes at Harvard University.

Robert is the author of Linux Kernel Development, now in its second edition, a book on understanding and developing code for the Linux kernel. Both editions were widely regarded as approachable and well written and have been translated into multiple languages.

He is also a coauthor of the fifth edition of Linux in a Nutshell, a comprehensive Linux command reference.

Robert is Contributing Editor for Linux Journal and a frequent author of articles for the magazine.

He is Chief Architect, Linux Desktop, at Novell. Prior to Novell, he worked for MontaVista Software.

Robert runs a weblog whose postings mix technology discussion, off-beat humor, and economics.

In the run up to the 2007 Final Four, the LA Times cited Robert, tongue in cheek, as a reason to hate the Gators. [1]

Robert was born in south Florida. He currently lives in Cambridge, MA.
