"The development phase of the next Linux kernel started with a bang this weekend when some 60 open-source developers and core kernel hackers attended the Linux 2.5 Kernel Summit to discuss the way forward for the operating system."

"Attendees of the San Jose, Calif., gathering, including Linus Torvalds, the "father" of Linux, heard a range of presentations about what should be included in the 2.5 kernel and updates on projects under way to achieve this."

"Now that the 2.4 kernel -- released in early January -- has been largely stabilized, the team is ready to start on the 2.5 development tree. Patches and bug fixes for the 2.4 kernel will continue to be released as 2.4.x versions."
