At DebConf20, Andrew Lee will present on Debian packaging with Open Build Service. At LPC, four Collabora engineers are presenting: André Almeida on futex2 (a proposed new futex interface), Guillaume Tucker on KernelCI's growing ecosystem and unifying kernel test reporting, and Ezequiel Garcia hosting a BoF on DMA-BUF heap negotiation. LPC is sold out but all tracks are live-streamed on YouTube. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is futex2 and why is a new futex interface being proposed for the Linux kernel? futex2 is a proposed new implementation of the Linux futex interface, motivated by failed attempts to extend the existing interface for use cases like futex wait multiple, futex swap, and variable-sized futexes. Thomas Gleixner concluded a new implementation is necessary because longstanding issues cannot be solved under the current interface. The effort aims to collect community feedback and define next steps for upstreaming. _Kernel developers tracking futex2 upstream progress follow discussions like this on daily.dev._ ### What resources does KernelCI use for compute capacity and which systems does it integrate with? KernelCI receives cloud compute resources donated by Microsoft and Google. It extends its scope by collating kernel test results from other systems including 0-Day and Syzbot, and supports KUnit developers integrating with the KernelCI framework. The project joined the Linux Foundation in October 2019 and aims to unify reporting from all upstream kernel testing systems into a common database with a single web dashboard. _Engineers working on kernel testing infrastructure track KernelCI developments on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Open Source in Prague: A week of talks, hands-on demos, and community\!](https://daily.dev/posts/open-source-in-prague-a-week-of-talks-hands-on-demos-and-community--w2mxqffp2) · Collabora Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Bootlin at Open Source Summit Europe 2026 and Linux Plumbers 2026 – Bootlin](https://daily.dev/posts/bootlin-at-open-source-summit-europe-2026-and-linux-plumbers-2026-bootlin-q2stqmdxm) · Bootlin · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/one-week-two-events-debconf20-linux-plumbers-conference-s6wpsssqb) ```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":"One week, two events: DebConf20 & Linux Plumbers Conference","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/one-week-two-events-debconf20-linux-plumbers-conference-s6wpsssqb","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/one-week-two-events-debconf20-linux-plumbers-conference-s6wpsssqb"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T08:56:16.973Z","dateModified":"2026-08-11T09:37:56.903Z","description":"Collabora is participating in two concurrent virtual conferences: DebConf20 and Linux Plumbers Conference 2020.
