What's happening in Poland around parliamentary election is beautiful! People waiting in long queues to vote, sometimes up to 1 AM. Just to vote! 73% turnout - record for Polish parliamentary elections after fall of communism. It is such a great pleasure to see the nation woken up to kick out corrupted, populist, close-minded, anti-democratic party out of their seats!

@vegard Why should they be separate? Probably because no one using generic kernels should ever use CIP kernel? These two worlds - so CIP customers and everyone else - should never intersect?

@vegard I understand that. I was saying that LF is not involved here. CIP and Greg are different people. One maintains generic stable kernels, other maintain non-generic-long-term stable kernels. Why non-generic kernel should be mixed up with our generic stable kernels? Really, CIP is entirely different thing, so where's the confusing part?

@vegard LF does not send any message here, thus there cannot be a confusion from recipients of its message. Greg sent a message and CIP folks sent their own. What's more CIP folks never said they can support SLTS 10yo *generic* kernel... Basically the customers of CIP SLTS are not customers of stable kernels.

@vegard Do you mean that it is surprising that two people working in the same organization have different point of view on some things?
Also, Linux Foundation gathers many different projects under its umbrella. Some stakeholders want (and pay for) CIP, others don't.

I'm proud to call Bradley Kuhn a friend and am celebrating him joining the growing community of out-and-proud FOSS leaders.

But it is a tragedy when someone is forced out.

I've watched as Eben Moglen and SFLC have abused the legal system and attacked SFC, wasting the scarce resources of one of FOSS's most important charitable nonprofits, and am devastated to learn about the personal abuse Bradley has endured.

FOSS friends: please take the time to read this. https://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2023/10/11/moglen-sflc.html

@rmader @mort @cassidy @agx @cas I do not understand that statement, therefore I cannot answer whether I agree or I disagree. I wrote what the DT is for (and what it is not for). To repeat - there is no DT bindings patch in that thread, which I could analyze and respond to.

Keep an eye on this talk for Linux Plumbers Conference 2023 - @abelvesa will be talking about how devices attached to discoverable buses on DT-based platforms need some special kind of powering up solution.
https://lpc.events/event/17/contributions/1507/
I am looking forward to it.

@mort @rmader @agx @cassidy @cas I really have no clue to what you refer (and pasting some links to some long discussions won't help me because none of us has time to read hundreds of pages of possible discussions). For example the cut-off region (inaccessible because of physical layer covering it) for touchscreen got my review and I think it was accepted, so to what do you refer here? Please point me to specific bindings patch where DT maintainers rejected some particular idea. Otherwise I have no clue to what to respond to.

@rmader @mort @cassidy @agx @cas I do not see any bindings patch there. No comments from DT maintainers either.

@rmader @agx @mort @cassidy @cas DT is not for software properties. Camera orientation is a hardware property. I don't know from where you get the impression that properties useful to user-space are no allowed. The user of bindings can be in user-space, firmware, bootloader etc.

So they made a movie about my dad ...

https://fullcirclefilm.co/

...and about a crazy kid named Trevor Kennison and how both recovered their lives after a devastating injury. I've seen it, it's definitely worth a watch. The site lists a lot of upcoming screenings (all just in North America, alas).

What a pleasant surprise - I am going to Plumbers! My talk about useful tool-set for fresh Linux kernel maintainers was accepted for this years Linux Plumbers Conference:
https://lpc.events/event/17/contributions/1498/
The cool part is that I will speak very early - on the second slot of the first day.

@gregkh @corbet @sjvn I guess we should start making full, regular press releases, so journalists will not wake up surprised half a year later after the decision is made public.

For a year I have been keeping a branch on top of linux-next with all the cleanups and fixes for Qualcomm SoCs Devicetree sources. Goal is to pass DT schema validation someday (just like Samsung does). I update and rebase the branch frequently. I also add new patches to fix existing warnings. Unfortunately, the branch actually never gets smaller: I always have around 120-200 patches on top of linux-next. Always. Now, after rebasing on next-20230913 it is ~150 patches. Still 150 patches just cannot get applied...

If anyone tells you "Linux kernel development goes too fast", he is wrong. It's too slow. For one year I was able to create fixes much faster than people were applying then.

Branch is here if anyone wants to avoid duplicating work/effort:

Syzkaller now creates nice monthly reports reminding what could be fixed. Anyone bored enough or having enough of spare time to fix these NFC issues (having repro!)?

@jarkko @vbabka Hiding your master (primary or [C]) key is a bit independent step and usually done before moving subkeys to crypto device.

@vbabka @jarkko Yes, that's the best, but I would start from basics - definitely not having master's secret key in your workstation keyring.
