Tux3 Versioning Filesystem

,----[ Quote ]
| In his announcement email, Daniel noted that implementation work is 
| underway, "much of the work consists of cutting and pasting bits of code I 
| have developed over the years, for example, bits of HTree and ddsnap. The 
| immediate goal is to produce a working prototype that cuts a lot of corners, 
| for example block pointers instead of extents, allocation bitmap instead of 
| free extent tree, linear search instead of indexed, and no atomic commit at 
| all. Just enough to prove out the versioning algorithms and develop new user 
| interfaces for version control."

OLS: Kernel documentation, and submitting kernel patches

,----[ Quote ]
| Another interesting but somewhat difficult to understand talk on this day was 
| by Andi Kleen, who gave a brief course entitled "On submitting kernel 
| features."  
| 
| Kleen, a self-described "recovering maintainer," asked, "Why submit patches?"

"The number of developers working on improving Linux vastly exceeds the number
of Microsoft developers working on Windows NT."

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).
