Addressing the State of the Linux Union
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is often thought to be all about collaboration and contribution to a
| project. Yet the community doesn't always get along, even as Linux's
| supporters are enjoying new levels of success against entrenched proprietary
| vendors like Microsoft.
|
| To assess where Linux is today, to help hammer out some of the divisive
| issues in the community, and to sort through Linux's own complex relationship
| with vendors like Microsoft, the Linux Foundation is hosting the
| invitation-only Linux Collaboration Summit in San Francisco. At the event,
| which begins today, the state of the Linux union -- and the community's take
| on collaboration, contribution and competition -- will be on the table for
| discussion.

Linux Supports More Filesystems With 2.6.30-rc1
,----[ Quote ]
| Two weeks have passed since the release of the Linux 2.6.29 kernel that
| brought Intel kernel mode-setting, the Btrfs file-system, and many other
| improvements to the Linux kernel. Now though the first release candidate for
| the forthcoming Linux 2.6.30 kernel is now out in the wild.

Kernel Log: Development of 2.6.30 is under way
,----[ Quote ]
| Shortly after the release of Linux 2.6.29 last Tuesday, the kernel subsystem
| developers began to prepare the first changes to be merged into the main
| development branch for Linux 2.6.30. This is usually done by sending a "Git
| pull request" – an email which includes the URL to a Git tree with the
| proposed changes as well as a diffstat and a list of individual patches – not
| only to Linus Torvalds, but usually also to the LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing
| List). Often, the maintainer of the subsystem starts the email with a short
| summary of the proposed changes, highlighting the most important ones, or
| putting the changes into context.

Linux 2.6.29
,----[ Quote ]
| It's out there now, or at least in the process of getting mirrored out.
|
| The most obvious change is the (temporary) change of logo to Tuz, the
| Tasmanian Devil. But there's a number of driver updates and some m68k header
| updates (fixing headers_install after the merge of non-MMU/MMU) that end up
| being pretty noticeable in the diffs.
|
| The shortlog (from -rc8, obviously - the full logs from 2.6.28 are too big
| to even contemplate attaching here) is appended, and most of the non-logo
| changes really shouldn't be all that noticeable to most people. Nothing
| really exciting, although I admit to fleetingly considering another -rc
| series just because the changes are bigger than I would have wished for this
| late in the game. But there was little point in holding off the real release
| any longer, I feel.
