http://www.linuxfoundation.org – With my recent job change, I'm starting to run into a bunch of people asking "What exactly are you going to be doing now?" I've tried responding by describing the kernel related stuff I've been doing for the past years, and it turns out that a lot of people didn't even realize I was doing that. So, here's a short list of some of the things that I'm going to be doing at my new job, and most importantly, how you can track what I do yourself, so that I never have to write a status report again...

Help Wanted 28 weeks 3 days ago

I'm looking for someone to help me out with the stable Linux kernel release process.

On December 10, Greg Kroah-Hartman announced the immediate availability for download of yet another maintenance release for the stable Linux 3.0 kernel series.

Linux kernel 3.0.56 has been made available just a few days after the previous version.

As I posted to the linux-kernel mailing list, the 3.4 kernel tree will be the next -longterm kernel that I will be maintaining for at least 2 years. Currently I'm maintaining the following stable kernel trees for the following amount of time:

3.0 - for at least one more year 3.4 - for at least two years 3.5 - until 3.6.1 is out

Hope this helps clear up any rumors floating around.

I said this last week on Google+ when I was at a conference, and needed to get it out there quickly, but as I keep getting emails and other queries about this, I might as make it "official" here. For no other reason that it provides a single place for me to point people at. Anyway, I would like to announce that the 3.8 Linux kernel series is NOT going to be a longterm stable kernel release.
