Sunny forecast for Linux kernel predictions
One of the first things many decision-makers want for any given software product is a roadmap, so they can plan around releases. However, the Linux kernel is and always has been bereft of a roadmap. To counter this, the Linux Foundation announced today that it is offering a Linux Weather Forecast to help provide some guidance to developers and organizations that need to know where the kernel is going.
The forecast page includes guidance on developments in the core kernel, and an overview with a forecast for filesystems, virtualization and containers, security, networking, hardware support, and miscellaneous kernel topics. Jim Zemlin, the Linux Foundation's executive director, described the forecast as a "second layer" for developers "who may not be as tied in" to kernel development and need "easier access to information, [something] easier to digest."
The "chief meteorologist" for the forecast is Jonathan Corbet, executive editor of LWN.net.
