WHAT IS KERNEL RECIPES
TOP SPEAKERS
Deep technical talks from maintainers and engineers running Linux at scale. Less hype, more traces, numbers, and hard-earned lessons.
KERNEL NEWS (DEEP DIVE)
High-level technical updates on what’s happening upstream: key patches, design debates, regressions, and performance trends. A fast way to stay current — with maintainer-grade context, not headlines.
MEET MAINTAINERS
Discuss design, APIs, and review expectations with the people who merge the code. Great for feedback, tricky edge-cases, and unblocking reviews maybe!
SOCIAL EVENTS
Keep the discussions going after hours — casually, with the right people. Because a lot of kernel progress happens in the hallway track.
CONTRIBUTOR ON-RAMP
A friendly on-ramp to upstream: tooling, etiquette, review cycles, and best practices. Bring questions, leave with momentum.
NETWORKING
Meet kernel maintainers, contributors, and in-house kernel experts. Real conversations that move patches, ideas, and roadmaps forward.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Kernel Recipes, so I was really excited to receive the invitation to speak at this amazing conference. And I’m even more excited to talk bout virtme-ng there! Kernel Recipes is such an amazing conference, I’m feeling really honored to have had the opportunity to participate as a speaker… and I also have a sketch from Frank!
