    The Linux Foundation's kernel development report is out
    The Linux Foundation has announced
    the release of its roughly annual report on the kernel development
    community; this report is written by Greg Kroah-Hartman, Amanda McPherson,
    and LWN editor Jonathan Corbet. There won't be much new there for those
    who follow the development statistics on LWN, but it does take a bit of a
    longer time perspective.

    [$] The end of the 3.12 merge window
    In the end, 9,479 non-merge changesets were pulled into the mainline
    repository for the 3.12 merge window; about 1,000 of those came in after
    the writing of last week's summary.
    Few of the changes merged in the final days of the merge window were hugely
    exciting, but there have been a number of new features and improvements.
