Is there anything you would like to ask the #Linux Foundation's TAB (Technical Advisory Board)? Then come to the "ask us anything" session with the current TAB at the @[email protected] 2024, which is currently scheduled for 9:00 on Friday, September 20[1]. And if you can't be there, just tell me your questions: I'll try to bring a few of them forward if I get a chance.

I'm really proud and excited to share my stealth mission from the past nine months... Today — #Fastly commits $40M in free services to the @[email protected]'s entire ecosystem of projects and maintainers. The unique speed and performance of #Fastly's network are thanks in large part to the customization made possible by the #Linux #kernel, so we're proud to give back not only to the Linux community but also to the Foundation's extended ecosystem of #OSS projects. https://dev.to/fastly/fastly-and-the-linux-kernel-8fg

I thought the question "do we want to include #Linux #kernel drivers in the upstream #LinuxKernel even for hardware used exclusively within a company" had been answered with "yes, that's a good thing, we even encourage that, as everyone benefits" many years ago, but nevertheless it was discussed today again here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/Zg6Q8Re0TlkDkrkr@nanopsycho/

#Linux #kernel 6.7-rc8 is out: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=whbyHgacqfOJ0VU_GxB-p=Cz+xsQ6XWrAEx=gT_QO9ERg@mail.gmail.com/ "'"So as expected, pretty much nothing happened over the holiday week. […] So rc8 is mostly just a placeholder, and a "I do rc's each week, whether they matter or not". Shortlog appended for completeness. And hey, regardless of whether all you peeps are interested in testing another rc or not, here's to hoping you all had a good 2023, and wishes for an even better 2024! Linus"'" #LinuxKernel

With 15.365 commits (14.663 if you exclude merge commits) the merge window for #Linux #kernel 6.7 is already now the biggest ever.

Previous record holder was 4.9-rc1 with 15095 commits, closely followed by 5.8-rc1 and 5.13-rc1, which also were 15.000+.

Wondering what's up with the #Linux mainline #kernel repository for #Ubuntu: it used to be updated daily, but since ~3 weeks ago no new builds appeared: <https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/?C=M;O=D> Did it move somewhere else[1]? Maybe even to a proper PPA that finally allows installing and updating upstream kernels like any other software shipped via PPAs? [1] doesn't look like it, as least https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds wasn't updated #LinuxKernel

I'm half-tempted to try to look up and figure out what inspired this poetry. #Linux #kernel https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c192ac7357683f78c2e6d6e75adfcc29deb8c4ae

Linus re-sorted the #Linux #kernel's MAINTAINERS file again and had this to say:

We just sorted the entries and fields last release […] I decided to see if we can keep things ordered for even just one release.

The answer is "No. No we cannot".

I suggest that all kernel developers will need weekly training sessions, involving a lot of Big Bird and Sesame Street.  And at the yearly maintainer summit, we will all sing the alphabet song together.
