The first KernelCI hackfest[1] early June was successful in getting a number of kernel developers to work alongside the core KernelCI team. Test coverage was increased in particular with kselftest, LTP, KUnit and a new test suite for libcamera. We're now improving documentation and tooling to make it easier for anyone to get started. Find out more about KernelCI on https://kernelci.org.

The second hackfest is scheduled for the 6th-10th September. It should be a good opportunity to start discussing and working on upstream kernel testing topics ahead of the Linux Plumbers Conference[2].

Here's the project board where anyone can already add some ideas:

There is no registration system, but please reply to this email or send a message on IRC (#kernelci libera.chat) or kernelci.slack.com if you would like to take part so you'll get email updates and invitations to the meetings and open hours sessions online. You may just drop in and out at any point during the hackfest as you see fit.

The hackfest features:

* Daily open hours online using Big Blue Button to discuss things and get support from the KernelCI team

* KernelCI team members available across most time zones to provide quick feedback

* A curated list of topics and a project board to help set objectives and coordinate efforts between all contributors

As always, KernelCI is at the service of the kernel community so please share any feedback you may have to help shape this upcoming hackfest in the best possible way.

Thanks, Guillaume
