ICYMI: the recording of @corbet's recent talk "Three Decades in Kernelland" recently became available:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNLBGiwfBSI

From the abstract[1]: The project has been going for well over 30 years. From its beginnings on floppy diskettes and beige boxes through to its current home in pockets and unseen data centers, the kernel project has been a constant exercise in rapid development and adaptation. I have been present for almost all of the kernel project's history as an observer, contributor, maintainer, and more; all that experience will be boiled down into a fast-moving tour of how the got to where it is, what makes it successful, and what may be coming next.

2/ And to quote one bit from @corbet's[1] great talk:

""[…] there will be no core development conferences around and other things in the United States in the foreseeable future. […] this is a real problem […]""

Yes, this is not a formal announcement[2] – but it bears some weight, as Jonathan is well connected and among others sits in the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board (TAB).

[2] and kinda obvious for some of you

@kernellogger That is *definitely* not a formal announcement, but it is my observation from talking to conference organizers and attendees. It is not a difficult result to see — or to understand.
