The 2014 Kernel Summit was held on August 18-20 in Chicago, IL, USA. The format mirrored that of the last few years: a day of invitation-only discussion with a relatively small group, followed by a day of workshops. The final day consisted of relatively technical sessions open to all interested attendees.

Day 1

Discussions from the invitation-only day include:

And, of course, there is the obligatory group photo:

Day 2

Unfortunately, LWN was unable to attend the workshop sessions. Attendees to various sessions have posted reports; we are collecting them here.

Day 3

Many of the third-day sessions took the form of tutorials for tools like Coccinelle — valuable sessions, but difficult to write up in this format. Beyond that, though, this day also featured:

The kernel.org update with an emphasis on the new two-factor authentication system.

The power-aware scheduling miniconference; a report from Morten Rasmussen on the latest developments in power-aware scheduling.

A report from the networking miniconference; a whirlwind summary of what is happening in the networking subsystem.
