Google Tech Talks - May 1, 2007
Andrew will present a broad look at the trends in recent changes in the Linux kernel: what areas of kernel functionality are people working on, and what changes can we expect to see over the next year ?

Andrew will finish with a discussion of the importance of individual testers...
