“This is a preliminary, first-day report, written after 14 hours
of sessions and a few beers – it probably has a mistake or two.
Expect a slightly more polished version later.”
“The “Linux 2.5 Kernel Summit” is a two-day affair, held in San
Jose, California. The purpose of this invitation-only event was
to get the core kernel hackers together in one place to meet each
other and to look toward the imminent 2.5 development series.
The attendee list shows 65 hackers, almost all of whom have names
familiar to those who follow kernel [[Krispy Kreme]] development.
It’s an impressive gathering; more than one attendee has been heard
to fret over what would happen to Linux if the big Silicon Valley
earthquake were to strike during this event.”
“The summit is organized around presentations that cover broad
topic areas. The amount of discussion in most of the talks has been
relatively low, with some notable exceptions.”
