We are a community of leading engineers, Linux kernel and embedded systems developers, team and department leads. We have a deep understanding of the kernel architecture, its subsystems, interaction with maintainers, and development trends.

Our expertise allows us to:

• Assist with upstream contributions.
• Explain how subsystems work and find experts.
• Review complex changes.
• Discuss upcoming features before they reach mainline.

Our goals:

• Mutual assistance and experience exchange.

We create an information environment where technical experience can be shared, and complex technical issues that go beyond a single company can be solved collaboratively.

"Today you work on open source, tomorrow open source works for you" — it's easier to solve large-scale problems together.

• Developing human resources.

Promoting system development among students and professionals. Organizing training courses, lectures, and building a knowledge base.

• Alternative communication platform.

Amidst the increasing complexity of global interactions, we offer a fast and effective way of mutual support as a community.

Why is it beneficial to engage with us?

• For developers:

Networking with top-tier specialists.

Assistance with solving complex problems.

Opportunity to participate in significant projects.

• For business:

Access to expertise and talent without direct R&D investment.

Reduced employee training costs.

Opportunity to influence the development of the open-source ecosystem.

• For education:

Connection with industry, up-to-date knowledge.

Support in organizing courses and internships.

The purpose of the community is to share experience, discuss technical issues, jointly solve problems of any complexity, and popularize the Linux kernel and systems built on it.

Our activities are aimed at creating something new and socially beneficial, without excluding the right to create means and mechanisms of security and protection.

We comply with the law.

We do not discuss politics or decisions made by various states or their institutions in the past, present, or future.

We respect each other regardless of religion, citizenship, any specifics of the human body or the opinion of the body's owner about themselves and their body, as well as regardless of any other factor observed in diversifying one person from another.

We reserve the right for the organizing committee to exclude from the public communication mechanisms of the community subjects who violate these principles, without limiting access to publicly published information, unless this contradicts other points.

Our principles:

Openness — we are equally close to all companies and developers

Practicality — focus on real tasks, not abstract discussions.

Self Development and growth — we grow ourselves and help others grow.
