    [$] Compile-time stack validation
    An occasionally heard horror story about the kernel development community
    concerns developers who are told that, in order to get their code upstream,
    they must first invest considerable effort into fixing a related
    subsystem. As with many such stories, this is not an experience many
    kernel developers have had, but there is also a
    grain of truth behind it. The ongoing live-patching effort, and the extra
    work that has been required to push that work forward, is a case in point.

    The Linux Foundation Releases Value of Collaborative Development Report
    The Linux Foundation has announced
    the release     of its first ever report that attempts to measure the
    estimated value of development costs in its Collaborative Projects. The
    report is titled “A $5 Billion Value: Estimating the Total Development Cost
    of Linux Foundation’s Collaborative Projects.” "Linux Foundation Collaborative Projects are independently funded software projects that harness the power of collaborative development to fuel innovation across industries and ecosystems. More than 500 companies and thousands of developers from around the world contribute to these open source software projects that are changing the world in which we live."
