Upstream First Principle: Toward Super Long-Term Support in Open Source Development

Explore the principles of "Upstream First" and the concept of Super Long-Term Support in this conference talk presented by Masashi Kudo from Cybertrust Japan Co., Ltd. and Chris Paterson from Renesas Electronics Europe. Delve into the challenges of handling increasing complexity with limited development resources and learn about the Open Source Base Layer (OSBL) approach. Discover the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) governance structure, development models, and how CIP artifacts can be utilized. Gain insights into the CIP Kernel Team's work, including SLTS kernel development, stable patch reviews, and CVE checks. Examine the CIP SLTS Kernel Release Process, maintenance strategies, and testing architecture. Understand the open-source approach in practice and explore the various repositories and resources available through the CIP Kernel and Testing Workgroups.
