Keynote: A Fireside Chat with Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linux Foundation Fellow
summary
Email-based patch review remains the fastest, practical option—53 patches reviewed, 13 accepted in 15 minutes—and patchwork plus CI is recommended for scale. Kernel community gains roughly 200 new developers every three months, with big firms moving from violators to contributors (example: an initial 12k-line dump trimmed to 7k and merged). Large vendor trees can be huge—2.5M lines trimmed to 1.5M—and Linux can be slimmed to run on tiny ARM cores with ~4MB in some experiments.
