While I don't know if is the first time this has happened, it's good to acknowledge this given all the crazy, odd, and incorrect press about Rust in Linux these days.
A new in-kernel api just landed in linux-next from my tree and should hopefully show up in 6.14 to make some kinds of drivers easier to write, that has a rust binding added at the exact same time:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/2025021023-sandstorm-precise-9f5d@gregkh/
Many thanks to Lyude and Danilo and many other Rust kernel developers for the help in creating the binding and make the C side work well for both Rust and C code at the same time. The end result here for any C developer alone, is much better off for all of their help.

@ncopa Also software and services are from end-to-end in-house. E.g. they have this as part of the solution: https://puavo.org/.

@ncopa Thanks, I think I finally found something that could really work for me in long term since I departed (with my own foot after 11 years) from Intel :-)
It's not a question of money for me personally. I just want to make something that makes sense for customers, has also ethical value and improves society.
All the laptops are recycled leasing laptops that they reburnish, rebrand and also have full maintenance. E.g. if a kid breaks a display it will be like few tens of euros bill for parents, not few hundred.
The whole concept impressed me a lot...

I'll be working at https://opinsys.com/contact/ starting from next month.
Opinsys creates a combined hardware and teaching platform based on open source, and provides this service for schools in Finland, Germany and Switzerland :-)
This also means that I'm full on back in kernel too for the first time in over two years, as the work will involve e.g. taking advantage of the modern security features of the Linux kernel.
I.e. my work time will also contain my LKML time ;-)
I'm quite excited as what could be a better job than help kids do better at school, or have better environment for enabling that!

@pinkforest For large high-volume projects like systemd, Github probably makes sense tho but not e.g. for kernel trees IMHO where you develop your next feature (or at least I personally think this way).

@pinkforest I have to say that for that I don't unfortunately have an answer :-) I've slowly migrated one by one...
For me it fits because I consider it as benefits that there is less noise or random PR's :-) Like for loopback driver project, I just want a wiki for notes. And if I get a PR over there, I'd guess there is higher probability that it is actually useful stuff for that work.
Github is like "Git for your LinkedIn profile and high scoring in job interviews" ;-)
