What happens when OpenAPS commands run on Linux?
Written by Shuah Khan, Linux Fellow at the Linux Foundation and member of the ELISA Project TSC Understanding system resources necessary to build and run a workload is important. Linux tracing and strace can be used to discover the system resources in use by a workload. Tracing OpenAPS commands with strace generated detailed view of system activity during the common run and helped with generating flowcharts for normal and error paths when commands detected device busy conditions.

In this blog, I will give you a behind-the-scenes view, starting from the project creation, application screening, mentee selection, running the session, and guiding mentees to the finish line.
What Do You Know about Your Linux System?
Do you know that Linux kernel-supported system calls and features are architecture dependent? Do you know that Linux kernel supports several hardening configuration options to secure your system? Let’s take a look at the process to get insight into supported system calls and features and to assess how secure a system is and its runtime activity. System State Visualization The kernel system state can be viewed as a combination of static and dynamic features and modules.
Demystifying Linux Kernel Initialization
If you ever wondered what happens between the time you power up your laptop and when you get back with that steaming cup of your favorite beverage? This article will take the lid off and demystify the Linux kernel boot process. Let’s first talk about how much visibility a user has into what’s happening on their system and the state of the kernel itself. The Linux kernel is constantly printing diagnostic messages to the kernel ring buffer.
Announcing The Linux Kernel Mentorship project on CommunityBridge, a new Linux Foundation platform
When Jim Zemlin asked me to come to the Linux Foundation as a Linux Fellow to work on mentoring programs and initiatives to make Linux secure I didn’t have to think twice. I am very excited to be working at the Linux Foundation alongside talented and dedicated individuals on initiatives near and dear to my heart. It is a unique and special opportunity to share my knowledge and passion by helping aspiring developers discover the joy of being a part of the largest open source project in the world.
