Linus Torvalds met with 40 of the top Linux developers at the Maintainers' Summit, held in conjunction with Open Source Summit Europe at Scotland.
They talked about his return to Linux, adopting the new Linux Code of Conduct (CoC), and how the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) changes Linux.
What will happen now?
First, Torvalds returns to the driver's seat.
"I start with the usual moy activity," Torvalds said. But kernel growth is not going to happen as usual.
“We talked about Greg [Kroah-Hartman] having write access to my kernel tree and it would be easier to share load. If we want we may add another maintainer after further discussion.”
Thus, Kroah-Hartman, who manages the fixed kernel, will also have a say in Linux's leading Linux kernel that only Linus had previously developed.
So it seems the balance has been restored and the problems of the Linux community will continue to be just the issues codifications.
That being said, the Linux community needed a more polite Torvalds with a fairer and more balanced way of dealing with its partners. We'll see how well Linus Torvalds can manage this time around.
