Who wrote 2.6.37
The 2.6.37 development cycle is coming to a close; that must mean that it is time to look at the development statistics for this release. 2.6.37 has been a more active cycle than most, with 11,220 non-merge changesets added (as of 2.6.37-rc7). Only three cycles have seen more changes: 2.6.25 (12,243 changesets), 2.6.29 (11,678), and 2.6.30 (11,989). The relatively slow period since 2.6.33 appears to have come to an end.
The 2.6.36 kernel was unique in that it was actually smaller than its predecessor. 2.6.37 does not continue that trend; some 1,140,000 lines of code were added, and 641,000 lines were removed, for a net growth of 494,000 lines. Most notably, perhaps: the 2.6.37 kernel includes patches from 1,250 developers, the highest ever. The development community, clearly, is active and growing.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
