Step by Step, What Should We Do for the Kernel Ecosystem? - Hirotaka Motai, Cybertrust Japan
The announcement that the kernel LTS period would be two years came as a shock to embedded Linux developers (especially in Japan). However, it was also the moment that they had been relying on the kernel maintainers.Hirotaka wondered what we could do for the maintainers who worked so hard to maintain the kernel LTS, and started "Linux Kernel LTS Study Group" in Japan.A number of issues came up, including those related to kernel testing, the product development period and LTS period, and upgrading kernel versions. In this session, he will share the summary of discussions with in-house kernel developers working in Japanese companies and some examples of Open Source projects that can help you solve them, and encourage what other in-house kernel developers or just user can do as a first step for the kernel community.
