Linux Plumbers Conf 2014

One Line Summary

Abstract

The goal of the development tools microconference is not only to present new tools that are available, but also to get feedback from the Linux kernel developer community. What tasks could benefit from tool support? Are existing tools sufficient? How could they be improved? How can we ensure that developers use the tools that are available? What kind of documentation, training, support, etc. are needed?
