The 2026 Linux Kernel Maintainers Summit was held on October 8 in Prague, focusing primarily on the impact of large language models on kernel development. Other topics included security bugs, long-term succession planning, and a policy change around Sashiko, which stopped reporting pre-existing bugs found during patch reviews.
