Announced at the Open Source Summit in Lyon, this move provides long-term sustainability and funding through a membership scheme. Key outcomes include a new common database for sharing test results with related projects like Red Hat's CKI and Linaro's LKFT. Collabora, a founding member and the biggest contributor to KernelCI, outlines the roadmap: improving test result handling, expanding test suite coverage (kselftest, LTP, KUnit, igt-gpu-tools), deploying a new bisection tool, and improving the modular core architecture for interoperability across the KernelCI pipeline. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is KernelCI and what does it do? KernelCI is a distributed, open source continuous integration system for the upstream Linux kernel, powering kernelci.org. Its distributed architecture enables the entire kernel community to collaborate around a single upstream CI system, covering diverse use cases including CPU architecture testing (0-day), Linux distribution testing (CKI), and reference platform testing (LKFT). It supports automated boot regression bisection and multiple test suites. _Developers tracking Linux kernel CI developments follow projects like KernelCI on daily.dev._ ### Which organizations are involved in Linux kernel automated testing alongside KernelCI? KernelCI collaborates with Red Hat's CKI (Continuous Kernel Integration) and Linaro's LKFT (Linux Kernel Functional Testing), sharing a common database for test results. Collabora is the biggest contributor to KernelCI development, providing servers, a LAVA test lab, and core maintainership. The project is now governed under the Linux Foundation with a membership-funded budget. _Teams choosing between kernel CI systems find coverage of the broader Linux testing ecosystem on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#testing](https://daily.dev/tags/testing), [#cicd](https://daily.dev/tags/cicd) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/a-new-home-for-kernelci-xdxecp0kq) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"A new home for KernelCI","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/a-new-home-for-kernelci-xdxecp0kq","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/a-new-home-for-kernelci-xdxecp0kq"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T08:55:45.736Z","dateModified":"2026-08-11T09:34:37.526Z","description":"KernelCI, the automated testing platform for the upstream Linux kernel powering kernelci.org, has joined the Linux Foundation as an official project.
