Processes and Barriers
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
Confirmed panelists are:
- Richard Biener
- Nick Clifton
- Adhemerval Zanella
- Maxim Kuvyrkov (moderator)
- Carlos O'Donell (moderator)
... and we are waiting for confirmation from other panelists.
Upstream glibc developer with 20+ years of project experience.
One of 8 GNU Project package maintainers for glibc.
Downstream distribution developer for Fedora, CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Bringing a "distribution" perspective to upstream conversations.
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.
