Linux Kernel Panel
summary
Roundtable covers kernel priorities and practice: USB3 and power work drives wins for data centers, cgroups and resource management aim for usable upstream code, and interns from the FOSS Outreach Program for Women land real work (one intern posts ~60 patches; a Czech class submits ~20 student patches, 3–5 substantive). Discussion flags storage and memory trends—PCIe/NVMe, persistent memory, and tens of millions of IOPS—maintenance pain points (explain bugs, be responsive) and hard rules: upstream early, budget six months to upstream new hardware features.
