Linux Could Use A New Maintainer For Its CD-ROM Code
Current Linux block subsystem maintainer Jens Axboe started out in the late 90's taking over maintainership of the Linux kernel's CD-ROM driver code.

For nearly the past decade there has been calls for deprecating the Liux kernel's frame-buffer "FBDEV" device code though the code remains within the kernel. While these days most display drivers are DRM-based even in the embedded world, a lot of FBDEV code still ends up in kernel builds even when just wanting to use DRM's FBDEV emulation layer. But a patch proposal out of Red Hat would further split-up the FBDEV core support to allow less of it to be built...

This project is to start on the 1st of August and finish on the 31st of December. The service to be provided is budgeted at 10 hours per week.
So, yeah, I had to figure out how many weeks between 2021-08-01 and 2021-12-31 inclusive.
This is the perfect sort of problem to solve with a tiny Groovy script.

The Linux kernel is turning 30 this year! If you're like us, that's a big deal and we are celebrating Linux this week with a couple of special posts.
Today we start with a roundup of responses from around the community answering "What Linux kernel module can you not live without? And, why?" Let's hear what these 10 enthusiasts have to say.
I guess some kernel developers will run away screaming when they hear my answer. Still, I list here two of the most controversial modules:
