Linux Kernel Developers Summit

<p>The Linux Kernel Developers Summit (also known as the Linux Kernel Maintainer Summit) is an annual gathering of the top <a href="/facts/Linux_kernel/dlkduHuA">Linux kernel</a> developers.  Attendance at the summit is by invitation only, and the conference was first held in San Jose in March, 2001.  It was organized by <a href="/facts/Theodore_Ts%27o/BVxQ3Cqc">Theodore Ts'o</a> 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 <a href="/facts/Usenix/2wz6aQwq">Usenix</a> and then VA Linux's <a href="/facts/Open_Source_Technology_Group/js59j1Vv">Open Source Developer's Network</a>.   Subsequent summits from 2002 to 2006 were held the two days prior to the <a href="/facts/Ottawa_Linux_Symposium/NmtVfDd2">Ottawa Linux Symposium</a> in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada at the same conference center with <a href="/facts/Usenix/2wz6aQwq">Usenix</a> providing all of the logistical support. The 2007 Kernel Summit was held on 4–6 September 2007 at the DeVere University Arms Hotel in <a href="/facts/Cambridge/gNRdbmwK">Cambridge</a>, <a href="/facts/England/U9mE5bGL">England</a>, and was the first time the summit was moved outside of North America.
