About 10 years ago the first kernel modesetting drivers landed in upstream, with promise that this will usher in a new era in GPU drivers: Multi-application rendering, new compositors and maybe even working suspend/resume support. Then years later it is time to take stock and see were we are.

Spoiler: Things are really, really good!

Come and hear about the story of a community that grew massively: A subsystem with drivers spanning from the tiniest with less than a thousand lines to the largest with over 2 million. About how to create some really good shader compilers. And everything in between. Plus a few attempts at explaining how this success was possible.

linux.conf.au is a conference about the Linux operating system, and all aspects of the thriving ecosystem of Free and Open Source Software that has grown up around it. Run since 1999, in a different Australian or New Zealand city each year, by a team of local volunteers, LCA invites more than 500 people to learn from the people who shape the future of Open Source. For more information on the conference see https://linux.conf.au/
