The Linux Foundation Member Summit

We all depend on the Linux kernel for critical parts of our society's infrastructure. Yet, our capacity to keep our Linux systems up to date with the latest features, security, and stability fixes is rather limited. Companies are collectively wasting millions and millions of dollars upgrading their systems to new kernels. I am sure you can relate to that! The Linux kernel community does a fantastic job developing the Linux kernel. It is an ever-evolving operating system that becomes more secure, stable, and feature rich every day. However, rebasing existing infrastructure on new kernels is not straightforward at all. We still lack processes, tools, and culture to make that job smoother in the Linux kernel ecosystem. KernelCI, a project under the Linux Foundation, is on a mission to change that. Our goal is to support the community and companies to ensure the quality, stability, and long-term maintenance of the Linux kernel while also reducing product integration costs drastically. In this talk, you will learn what KernelCI is, what we are doing to improve this situation, and, more importantly, what you can do to help!
