Three Decades in Kernelland - Jonathan Corbet, LWN.net
Tuesday June 24, 2025 11:00am - 11:40am MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2D
The Linux kernel project has been going for well over 30 years. From its beginnings on floppy diskettes and beige boxes through to its current home in pockets and unseen data centers, the kernel project has been a constant exercise in rapid development and adaptation. I have been present for almost all of the kernel project's history as an observer, contributor, maintainer, and more; all that experience will be boiled down into a fast-moving tour of how the kernel got to where it is, what makes it successful, and what may be coming next.
