The Linux Weather Forecast

Posted by kdawson on from the kernel-dev-roadmap dept.

kwabbles writes "The Linux Foundation launched the Linux Weather Forecast yesterday. It features 'current conditions' for kernel development, a 'short-term forecast,' and a 'long-term forecast.' Now developers and organizations that want to see when certain implementations/fixes are planned can find answers at this informative and handy site."

    I was looking forward to reading reports of stormy weather ahead, or even of bright skies. But this seems be be more of a roadmap, not really a forecast. If someone can read this more deeply and see the analogy, then please enlighten me!

      I think they call it a "forecast" rather than a "roadmap" because that way it's only an educated guess, and they only have to be as accurate as your local weatherman is at long-range forecasts (that is, not at all).
