KernelBrief editorial policy

KernelBrief is an upstream-first Linux/FOSS intelligence feed. The goal is to reduce noise, not to replace original reporting.

Rules

Prefer primary sources: release notes, security advisories, project blogs, mailing lists, git commits, distro notices.
Link to original reporting prominently when a story depends on another publication's work.
Summaries must be short, attributed where appropriate, and not a substitute for reading the source.
No full-article scraping or republishing.
RSS/Atom ingestion may store metadata, short excerpts, source URLs, and editorial notes only.
AI can draft tags, summaries, duplicate checks, and metadata, but sensitive stories require human review.
Label sponsored placements clearly.
Label analysis, guidance, and opinion separately from factual news.
Publish corrections visibly. See the corrections policy for how to submit corrections and what to expect.
Do not amplify anonymous claims, malware rumors, security panic, or project drama without primary documentation.
Keep RSS useful.
Comments are for technical discussion: analysis, corrections, source links, project context, thoughtful disagreement, and relevant personal experience.
Comments are moderated for relevance, technical substance, and civility. Images are not supported in comments.
