Linux users got a rare opportunity to hear directly from the hackers at the core of the Linux kernel on Wednesday at LinuxCon Europe. Read on for more on the state of ARM in the Linux kernel, the need for new kernel contributors, and the death of the Big Kernel Lock (BKL).

The Banshee released version 2.2 recently. Since it had been a while since I last explored Banshee on the desktop (although I have used the MeeGo flavor on a netbook), I decided to take a look — or a listen, to be more precise. On the surface, the app does not depart much from the iTunes-clone approach taken by essentially every other music app in the open source ecosystem. But Banshee is well-designed and has the potential to forge ahead in some interesting new directions.
