| has gloss | eng: The Linux Kernel Developers Summit is an annual gathering of the top Linux kernel developers. Attendance to the summit is by invitation only, and the conference was first held in San Jose in March, 2001. It was organized by Theodore Tso to provide a face to face venue for kernel developers to discuss current and future issues surrounding Linux kernel development, and was initially run by Usenix and then VA Linuxs Open Source Developer's Network. Subsequent summits from 2002 to 2006 were held the two days prior to the Ottawa Linux Symposium in Ottawa, Canada at the same conference center with Usenix providing all of the logistical support. The 2007 Kernel Summit was held on the 4th-6th of September 2007 at the DeVere University Arms Hotel in Cambridge, England, and was the first time the summit was moved outside of North America. |
