Panel Discussion: Kernel Internship Report (Outreachy)
summary
Outreachy runs paid three‑month remote kernel internships with a $6,000 stipend and a history of 55+ kernel interns since 2013; this cohort lands concrete results: a vkms virtual hardware mode that required refactoring tests and use of virtual_alloc to avoid contiguous memory failures, a new CEC bus algorithm to stop vivid driver message loss, a core‑scheduling selftest that runs stressor/memory variants, and KSM unit and perf tests for merge rate and copy‑on‑write latency; tools used include git, gdb, perf, configfs and intel‑gpu‑tools.
