Linux Kernel - How is it being developed and what's coming next?

Abstract

The Linux kernel development model is unique compared to other Open source Projects. This talk will explore how it has changed over the years, why those changes were made, and the strengths and weaknesses of our current approach. In addition, this talk will also give a broad-eyed view of recent changes to the kernel and the general direction of future development in the Linux kernel.

He is the maintainer and author of ext2/ext3 filesystem utilities package, and he architected and implemented Linux's tty layer. Theodore is currently employed by IBM Linux Technology Center.
