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.

  4. ogg vs. mp3 file size by ph1nn · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Whats the deal with the ogg file sizes being like 50%+ bigger than the mp3 sizes? I thought ogg was better compression? Even if its using better quality, seems like a waste... oh well, ill listen to the mp3s
