The Maintainers Summit is a one-day, invitation-only gathering of about 30
kernel developers; it is held once each year to discuss policy-related issues
that are not always amenable to resolution via email. The 2026 event was
scheduled for October 8 in Prague, Czechia. Unsurprisingly, the discussion
there was dominated by large language models (LLMs) and their effect on the
development community, but some time was also found to talk about security
bugs and long-term succession planning.
