@conor I see now that the stalling-email from vendor partially worked and discouraged community from maintaining the code. Sigh...

@kernellogger @pojntfx @thomasmey yep, sending patch is the first step anyway, regardless of actual status in the maintainers file.

When a vendor wants to control upstreaming process and objects to community-led patches, I’ll just point to this brilliant response from @conor:

It’s only better if <vendor name> submits better quality patches (no evidence for that yet) or submits the patches more promptly than others (which clearly has not happened here), and offers review commentary etc at a higher standard and more frequently than a non-employee maintainer would be able to do (there’s no evidence for that so far either, given you’re trying to stall this patchset). Your claim seems to have no merit as there is no proof that you’d do a better job.

@gregkh Oh, thanks for sharing! People received only cover letter and we all know how we treat cover letters, especially ones without patches :)

Work looks interesting, maybe it will solve the problem Bartosz and Wolfram were speaking about on conferences.

@brauner @monsieuricon @kernellogger @geert Please check the link to doc patch from @geert - different domain does not solve dislike for automated Link:, as it seems.

@geert @kernellogger @monsieuricon So I guess that's the answer to question if patch.msgid.link domain solves Linus' issue:

https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/config.html
> can also use https://msgid.link/%s, which is an alias for lore.kernel.org.
So I would guess that should be same owner as for kernel.org. Otherwise b4 docs should not recommend it.

@monsieuricon @geert @kernellogger So basically:

git config --global b4.linkmask 'https://patch.msgid.link/%s'

NGI Zero open source funding

The European Commission has issued a survey on the Governance and Sustainability of Critical Open Source Software.

The survey hopes to identify "pathways for collective efforts" and make "actionable recommendations for public administrations".

It's a relatively short survey, takes max 15 minutes & provides lots of opportunities to rate FOSS as 'very important' 😛

@kernellogger @geert That 6.17-rc5 was third complain ~last two weeks about Link tag, so I dropped it from my scripts. I see the rationale that automatically added Link which points to latest patch version, not even to the one with some sort of review happening, is just convenience instead of copy-paste of subject to lore.kernel.org. Useful to me but not worth dying for and I actually understand preference of having really useful Link or no Link at all.

With @andi we are organizing another Linux'n'Beer meeting in Zurich, CH:

When: Friday, 12th Sep, 18:00
Where: Bierwerk Zuri, https://maps.app.goo.gl/unN5AkKQUVj6DQ3H6

The place is known of good beer and they also have some beer-food (snacks, focaccia), but don't expect proper dinner served.

Please kindly let me know if you plan to come, so I will adjust the table booking if necessary.

Also just as reminder - we have a mailing list, so join if you do not want to miss such announcements
lch @ https://subspace.kernel.org/lists.linux.dev.html

Since few years I have been regularly speaking on each major Linux Open Source conference, so I could not miss Open Source Summit Europe in Amsterdam. I gave two talks and held speaker office hours for some more questions. I met many old friends and put face to the name known from online interactions in upstream community. It was to nice to hear that my talks are actually useful. :)

Event was very successful and intensive, so now well deserved rest... and looking forward to Japan in December, where I am planning to attend the main Linux conference (LPC 2025)!

P.S. "regularly speaking" except this year's Open Source Summit in USA, but that for obvious reasons - screw you Trump&Vance. I am not going to your little craphole.
