    Kernel prepatch 3.19-rc5
    On January 18, Linus Torvalds released the fifth prepatch for Linux 3.19. Things are not
    calming down quite the way he would like and rc5 is larger than rc4, but: "That said, it's not like there is anything particularly scary in here.

    The arm64 vm bug that I mentioned as pending in the rc4 notes got
    fixed within a day of that previous rc release, and the rest looks
    pretty standard. Mostly drivers (networking, usb, scsi target, block
    layer, mmc, tty etc), but also arch updates (arm, x86, s390 and some
    tiny powerpc fixes), some filesystem updates (fuse and nfs), tracing
    fixes, and some perf tooling fixes.    "

    PSF 2014 Year in Review
    The Python Software Foundation begins
    a review     of 2014. "2014 was an eventful year for the Python community, and so we thought a brief rundown of highlights from last year should put us all in the right frame of mind to make 2015 an equally, or even more, productive year. There was so much activity in 2014, that it will take the next couple of blog posts to cover it all, so today's post will focus on membership growth, PSF funding, and conferences."
