GNU Tools Cauldron 2025

Maxim Kuvyrkov

I build tools for developers. My passion is open-source toolchains -- compilers, runtime libraries, linkers and debuggers -- and their developer communities.

I have started my career as GNU Toolchain developer, and now I am privileged to lead a world-class team of toolchain engineers at Linaro. We work on all aspects of LLVM and GNU toolchains -- GCC, Clang, Flang, Glibc, GDB, Binutils, and more -- for Arm architectures.

Q&A panel discussion of development processes in GNU Toolchain projects – GCC, Glibc, GDB, Binutils, etc. – and how they affect our developer community.
We will discuss 4 topics:
- Onboarding new developers
- Growth, roles, and reputation. How to become a maintainer?
- Governance, and how decisions are made
- Infrastructure and tools for developers
