Kernel Summit Wrapup

Posted by chrisd on from the free-jeff-garzik dept.

Jonathan Corbet at LWN has posted a terrific summary of the first Day of the Ottawa Kernel Summit, and you should expect the second day soon. In it he relates the greatest hits of the first day's talks, including the AMD Hammer Port, Block I/O, Modules, and more. For mp3s or oggs of this event, check out the Kernel Summit MP3 Repository on SourceForge. The big news is the desire to feature freeze 2.5 within 4 or 5 months. Halloween. I've posted a very small gallery of the group pictures from the summit on my site.

    The end result is that I should be able to get a diskette from a hardware vendor that contains a nice driver.o file that I can load. If it comes with a driver.c file, then that's great, but I want a .o that I can just use right away.

    Well, y'see, there's this OS called Windows, made by this guy Gates... it might suit you better.
