Linux Foundation talks on next-gen kernel plans
,----[ Quote ]
| Like a fervent preacher appearing before his flock, Linux Foundation Executive
| Director Jim Zemlin emphasised benefits and potential for the Linux platform
| Thursday during an industry conference that also featured an update on mobile
| Linux efforts.
|
| At the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit in San Francisco, Zemlin cited
| advances by Linux into multiple spaces, including supercomputing and embedded
| systems. "It is the fastest growing platform in every aspect of computing,"
| Zemlin said, "Linux is growing two to three times faster than any other
platform
| out there today."

Linux 2.6.32 To Get R600 KMS Along With 3D
,----[ Quote ]
| David Airlie has pushed a horde of new code into his drm-next Git tree, which
is
| what will get pulled into the Linux 2.6.32 kernel once the merge window is
open.
| Most prominently, this new DRM code brings support for kernel mode-setting
with
| R600 class hardware as well as 3D support. Of course, to benefit from those
| features, you will also need the latest libdrm, Mesa, and xf86-video-ati DDX
code
| too.

Linux 2.6.31-rc9
,----[ Quote ]
| I know I said I'd just release the final 2.6.31 when I was done diving, but
| there were more pull requests while I was away than I'm comfortable with at
| this stage. So I'm doing an -rc9 to let it simmer for a couple of days and
| get some last-minute testing before doing the final release.

Kernel Improvements, Controversies Will Be Focus of Roundtable
,----[ Quote ]
| I think the next releases of GNOME and KDE are pushing us much farther along
| towards the leading edge here, and I'm interested to see what actually
| emerges as viable technology for the next generation of user interfaces.

Linux 2.6.31-rc6
,----[ Quote ]
| Lots of small fixes all over, spread out fairly evenly (50% drivers, and
| roughly 10% each in arch, fs, kernel, tools/perf, "rest"). And things do
| seem to be calming down, because outside of some further i915 displayport
| patches and a couple of perf-counter patches, almost all of them are pretty
| dang small.
