Linux adds ARM SoCs
,----[ Quote
| The forthcoming release of Linux 2.6.27 will extend the mainline kernel's
| support for Marvell's embedded storage processors. The release will add basic
| support for Marvell's Loki (88RC8480), a system-on-chip (SoC) processor
| integrating a 400MHz-1GHz Feroceon core with a mix of on-chip peripheral
| interfaces aimed at storage and networking.

Kernel space: Using the firmware loader for static data
,----[ Quote ]
| Some device drivers need firmware to load into the hardware at initialization
| time. The kernel firmware loader interface exists to support that
| functionality, but it requires help from user space which may not be
| available in all environments. David Woodhouse has proposed a patch that
| would eliminate that requirement so that more drivers can use the firmware
| loader rather than craft their own solution.

Linux kernel community grows, but elite group remains
,----[ Quote ]
| Viro has contributed 1,571 changes to the kernel, which sits at the core of
| the Linux operating system, over the past three years, according to a new
| report from the Linux Foundation. That's more than any other individual
| developer, the report states. In contrast, Torvalds, the kernel's creator and
| steward, contributed 495 changes. Viro couldn't be reached for comment about
| the report.

| But this group of coding superstars sails atop a roiling sea of newer
| community members, notes Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux
| Foundation. Roughly 3,700 developers from more than 200 companies have
| contributed to the kernel since 2005, according to the report.

Linux kernel developers have tripled in number
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux Foundation (LF) has published a study on Linux mainline kernel
| development. According to LF, the number of Linux kernel developers has
| tripled since 2005, with many more companies contributing to the process
| (including, potentially, the latest new LF member, Adobe).
