    Kernel prepatch 4.2-rc7
    Linus has released the 4.2-rc7 prepatch,
    but he's still not sure about whether it will be the last for this
    development cycle. "So this may be the last RC, and it might not
    be. It will depend on whether anything more comes up next week, and how
    good I feel about things come next Sunday. A part of me is convinced that
    all the odd 32-bit compat issues etc fallout is finally fixed, but a part
    of me is still a bit leery.

    The Open Mainframe Project
    The Linux Foundation has announced
    the launch of the Open
    Mainframe Project
    . "In just the last few years, demand for
    mainframe capabilities have drastically increased due to Big Data, mobile
    processing, cloud computing and virtualization. Linux excels in all these
    areas, often being recognized as the operating system of the cloud and for
    advancing the most complex technologies across data, mobile and virtualized
    environments. Linux on the mainframe today has reached a critical mass such
    that vendors, users and academia need a neutral forum to work together to
    advance Linux tools and technologies and increase enterprise
    innovation.
