Kernel Internship Report and Outreachy Panel - Moderated by Karen Sandler, Software Freedom Conservancy; Helen Fornazier, Rik Van Riel & Bhaktipriya Shridhar

Come learn about the great work our kernel interns have accomplished! Outreachy (formerly OPW) provides a 3-month paid internship for women and members of other underrepresented groups to work on a free and open source software project.

This panel will present the program and this year's projects. Helen Fornazier will present the vimc driver, which simulates some media hardware using the Media API and and Bhaktipriya will present her work updating legacy workqueue creation interface users in the Linux kernel. Participants will join in a discussion with mentors about the program and the future of kernel contributors.
