KernelBrief is a source-backed Linux/FOSS intelligence publication.
It is built for readers who want the primary source, a short summary, and enough context to decide whether a change matters.
Operating model
- Editors start with upstream project pages, advisories, release notes, mailing lists, and specialist reporting.
- AI assists with monitoring, duplicate detection, first-draft summaries, and tagging.
- Humans approve published stories, correction notices, sponsor labels, and public moderation decisions.
- Sponsors can buy labelled placements, not editorial control.
What we refuse to publish
- SEO rewrites with no primary source.
- Unsourced vulnerability claims.
- Fabricated quotes, fake metrics, or fake employer demand.
- Generated comments or promotional filler presented as community discussion.
