A kernel code of conduct enforcement action

Date:
Sat, 23 Nov 2024 01:26:18 +0000

Description:
The Linux Foundation Technical
Advisory Board (TAB) has decided to " restrict Kent Overstreet's
participation in the kernel development process during the Linux 6.13
kernel development cycle " based on a recommendation from the Code of Conduct
committee .  In particular, the scope of the restriction will be to " decline 
all pull
requests from Kent Overstreet " during the development cycle.
Overstreet is the creator and maintainer of the bcachefs filesystem. This
action stems from a message Overstreet posted back in early September that 
was abusive toward another
kernel developer; there is a fair amount of back-and-forth about the
incident and the committee's attempts to extract a public apology from
Overstreet in that thread.  Overstreet has published a lengthy blog post 
describing his side of the story.
