About
Linux Weekly News (LWN) is an online publication that provides news, analysis, and commentary on topics related to the Linux kernel, open-source software, and the broader free software community. Founded in 1998 by Jonathan Corbet and Elizabeth Coolbaugh, LWN was initially a weekly newsletter but evolved into a subscription-based website offering in-depth technical articles. The publication covers kernel development, security updates, software releases, and legal issues affecting open-source software. LWN is widely regarded for its detailed reporting on Linux kernel mailing list discussions and developer conferences. It serves both technical audiences and those interested in open-source policy and governance. While some content is restricted to subscribers for a limited time, older articles become freely accessible. LWN remains an important resource for Linux professionals, developers, and enthusiasts seeking accurate and well-researched information on developments within the open-source ecosystem.
