Linux 2.6.27
,----[ Quote ]
| So not a lot happened after -rc9, which is mostly good. I certainly don't
| want to have any upheavals at the end of an -rc series, although I
| wouldn't have minded more people looking at the regression list. That
| said, I think we're in pretty good shape, and it's not like I can hold
| back releases indefinitely anyway.
|
| The shortlog from -rc9 really is small, and I doubt many people will
| notice the changes. And as usual, if you want to know about the big
| changes since 2.6.26, the full ChangeLog is available, but people are
| much better off with the human-readable explanations at
|
| http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges
|
| but most important is obviously to just test it. Especially if you've been
| a bad boy (or girl) and haven't been testing the -rc's.

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.
