Greg KH Calls For More Rust Linux Developers

([Linux Kernel] 4 Hours Ago Greg Kroah-Hartman)


Greg Kroah-Hartman took time away from his duties as Linux's second-in-command as stable maintainer, various subsystem maintainer, and recent hobby of [1]using AI/LLMs for uncovering Linux kernel bugs to present at the Rust Week conference.

Rust Week 2026 is taking place this week in Utrecht, Netherlands as the world's biggest Rust programming language conference. This morning he presented on Rust language use within the Linux kernel and its benefits.

Greg also called Rust "more fun for maintainers" and "more secure Linux for users". Greg ultimately ended his presentation with calling for more Rust Linux kernel developers.

Those interested can find his first-of-the-day presentation embedded below.

Greg was also involved at Rust Week yesterday in a fireside chat over Rust use in the Linux kernel, which is embedded below.

Microsoft Employees Go On Strike, Demand Reduced Salaries

REDMOND, WA -- Several hundred programmers walked off their jobs at
Microsoft Headquarters on Friday to protest their shoddy public image. "My
friends all think I'm a servant of Satan because I get my paycheck from
Microsoft," explained Microserf Eric Eshleman. "If I didn't make so much
money, I'd have more of a backbone to shout 'No!' when my supervisor
demands that I include some new virus-delivery feature in Outlook."

The striking programmers demand salary cuts, less benefits, and zero stock
options. Their labor union, the Brotherhood Of Programmers Sick Of Being
Called Evil, hopes to get some face time with Microsoft executives and
touch base on reaching a proactive agreement leveraging the latest
innovatives in PR to produce a synergistic worldwide buzzword-enhanced
advertising campaign that showcases Microsoft associates as enlightened
engineers instead of morally bankrupt bastards bent on world domination.

Earlier today, about 150 strikers formed a picket line near the front
entrance to Bill Gates' mansion. They carried signs saying "Hell no we're
not going to Hell", "I want to be able to sleep at night", "Why does the
public hate us so much?" and "I'm fed up with ethical dilemmas".
