    Time Event
    4:33p
    [$] Kernel.org news: two-factor authentication and more
    Kernel developers depend heavily on kernel.org for the hosting of Git
    repositories and the management of patch flow in general, so it is not
    surprising that the annual Kernel Summit sets aside a slot to discuss what
    is happening with this site. In recent years, there has been a lot of
    change to discuss, mostly relating to the reorganization of kernel.org
    management
    resulting from the compromise of the site in 2011. The 2014 kernel.org
    discussion, run by Konstantin Ryabitsev, shows that, in a lot of
    ways, the pace of change is slowing, but the kernel.org maintainers are
    still working to improve their support and make it more secure.
