Since this was a year of colossal changes for me, maybe it is also time for me to make something different with this blog and publish something just for a change — why not start talking about XDC 2025?

To summarize this long journey, I will jump…

Finally, you can feel the community spirit in every table,…
Nothing lasts forever, and this also applies for GSoC projects. In this report, I tried to summarize my experience in the DRI community and my contributions. Recap the project idea First, it is important to remember the main subject of my GSoC Project: The Kernel Mode-Setting (KMS) is a mechanism that enables a process to command the kernel to set a mode (screen resolution, color depth, and rate)…
x x Figure 1. linuxdev-br Recently, I submitted a talk about VKMS in a conference named Linux Developer Conference Brazil (linuxdev-br)[1] and got accepted [2]. I am delighted with this opportunity, since I attended linuxdev-br 2017 as a complete newbie and the conference provided me the required inputs to start working in the Kernel.
