kernel developers

LWN.net: "The holdup in this case was a nasty regression which occupied a number of kernel developers nearly full time for days.

The hunt for this bug is a classic story of what can happen when the code gets too complex."

Click: "Note to Linux kernel developers: This doesn't work with the Intel 830m. DOESN'T WORK."

The H Open: "John Johansen, a developer with commercial Ubuntu sponsor Canonical, has submitted an updated version of the AppArmor security framework to the Linux kernel developers for inspection."

The H Open: "Several changes to the X86 and KVM code are to speed up the kernel's own hypervisor. The kernel developers once again revised and considerably extended the still emerging tracing infrastructure.

The Power and PowerPC code now also supports the Gamecube and Wii games consoles."

CIO: "Less than a week after Linux kernel 2.6.31 was released, the kernel developers are beginning to submit changes and improvements across virtualization, power management, file systems and device driver code for the upcoming 2.6.32 version."

LWN.net: "Recently, the question of how user-space programmers can communicate requirements to the kernel community was raised.

The ensuing discussion was short on definitive answers, but it did begin to clarify a problem in an interesting way."

The H Open: "The Linux Driver Project (DLP), started by kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman about two and a half years ago, is a group of Linux kernel developers and project managers that focus on developing and maintaining Linux kernel drivers for device manufacturers."

The H Open: "The kernel developers have added new features to thousands of the Linux kernel's existing drivers and integrated numerous additional drivers.

This further increases the variety of hardware supported by Linux."

Linux Magazine: "A couple of kernel developers at Wine are upset about the current project leadership. Behind the dissatisfaction is so-called bug421 on the missing device-independent bitmap (DIB) engine."

The 3rd Annual Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit was held last week in San Francisco.
