The Linux kernel contribution maturity model

[Posted December 15, 2022 by corbet]

Ted Ts'o, in collaboration with the Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board, has put together a document called the Linux kernel contribution maturity model to help companies improve their participation in the kernel development process.

The goal is to encourage, in a management-friendly way, companies to allow their engineers to contribute with the upstream Linux Kernel development community, so we can grow the "talent pipeline" for contributors to become respected leaders, and eventually kernel maintainers.

This is a great idea and provides good guidance.
Not sure how well received it will be in current economic conditions, with useful conferences in decline and vanishing. Many companies will not pay for conference travel anymore and virtual events have been disappointing.
