[$] Linus and Dirk on succession, Rust, and more

Wednesday September 25, 2024. 03:38 PM , from LWN.net
The 'Linus and Dirk show' has been a fixture at Open Source Summit for as
long as the conference has existed; it started back when the conference was
called LinuxCon. Since Linus Torvalds famously does not like to give
talks, as he said during this year's edition at Open Source Summit Europe
(OSSEU) in Vienna, Austria, he and Dirk Hohndel have been sitting down for an
informal chat on a wide range of topics as a keynote session. That way,
Torvalds does not need to prepare, but also does not know what topics
will be brought up, which makes it 'so much more fun for one of us', Hohndel
said with a grin. The topics this time ranged from the just-released 6.11
kernel and the upcoming Linux 6.12, through Rust for the kernel, to the recurring topic of succession and
the graying of Linux maintainers.
