| Look for more change once the 2.6.27 merge window opens. I’ll be cleaning out
| a bunch of older stuff then as well.

Kernel log: New graphics drivers and stable kernels; details about
Linux-staging
,----[ Quote ]
| Following the release of pre-release version seven a few days ago, the
| development of Linux 2.6.26 is now in its final stages; however, looking at
| the error list, various error reports on the LKML and some recent changes to
| the main development branch it is possible that there will be an eighth
| pre-release version. It is unlikely, however, that the next Linux version
| released by Linus Torvalds will take more than another two weeks to complete.

Position Statement on Linux Kernel Modules
,----[ Quote ]
| We, the undersigned Linux kernel developers, consider any closed-source Linux
| kernel module or driver to be harmful and undesirable. We have repeatedly
| found them to be detrimental to Linux users, businesses, and the greater
| Linux ecosystem. Such modules negate the openness, stability, flexibility,
| and maintainability of the Linux development model and shut their users off
| from the expertise of the Linux community. Vendors that provide closed-source
| kernel modules force their customers to give up key Linux advantages or
| choose new vendors. Therefore, in order to take full advantage of the cost
| savings and shared support benefits open source has to offer, we urge vendors
| to adopt a policy of supporting their customers on Linux with open-source
| kernel code.
|
| We speak only for ourselves, and not for any company we might work for today,
| have in the past, or will in the future.

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).
