lighting up a new board brings together a lot of interesting talent, and has a lot of challenges.

Discuss state of KGDB and other kernel debug technologies.

The kernel: where it is, how it got there, and where it's going. (slides)

Just as the lack of software discipline can lead to bad code and poor usability, the lack of license understanding and execution can cripple the legitimate usability of open source software.

A quick tour around the architecture specific kernel implementation a working example code. (slides)

A look at how to make watching and creating videos on Linux as good as it should be (slides)

Now that we have competent Linux kernel graphics support, what comes next?

A status update of the Linux Bluetooth stack, show the today's state and what is coming in the near future. (slides)

Ubiquitous WWAN networks and devices reveal wide gaps in the Linux networking stack that we need to fix.

Unified approach to CPU power management where the scheduler works in co-ordination with cpufreq and cpuidle subsystems (slides)

This talk describes how Google uses CFS to provide differentiated CPU QoS, discusses the strengths and shortcomings of idle scheduling support in the Linux kernel, and presents solutions that improve utilization without impacting isolation. (slides)
