Panel Discussion: Outreachy Kernel Internship Report - Moderated by Julia Lawall, Inria

Feedback form is now closed.

Come learn about the great work our kernel interns have accomplished! Outreachy provides a 3-month paid internship for women, trans men, genderqueer people, and US members of other underrepresented groups to work on an open source project. The panel will present the program and this year's Linux kernel projects. Gargi Sharma will present her work on
replacing the PID bitmap implementation with an IDR API-based implementation. Sayli Karnik will talk about her improvements to the Linux kernel documentation. Eva Rachel Retuya will present her work on developing the ADXL345 IIO driver to replace the existing input driver. Narcisa Vasile will present her work on writing a driver for CCS811 Air Quality
Sensor using the IIO interface. Varsha Rao will discuss her work on improving nftables. Bhumika Goyal will talk about securing the Linux kernel by declaring kernel structures read-only.
