6.13-rc7 is out, final expected next week:

lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wjr

'"[…] we're definitely back to speed after the two quiet holiday weeks.

This rc7 is slightly bigger than normal, but considering the timing, it's pretty much where I would have expected, and nothing really stands out. […]

So unless something odd happens the upcoming week, I expect to release
a final 6.13 next week as per the normal schedule.

Thorsten Leemhuis (acct. 1/4)

2/ Also note this part of Linus' message:

'"For _me_ a traditional holiday activity tends to be a LEGO build or two, […]

[…] this year I also ended up doing a number of guitar pedal kit builds […] because I enjoy the tinkering, […]

[…] since I want to have the excuse to continue to do them, and since I don't actually have any _use_ for the resulting pedals […] , I decided that I'm going to see if some hapless kernel developer would want one. […]'"

@dwagenk vielleicht, aber vielleicht eher "tue mir was Gutes (hilf bei meinem Kernel mit) , tue ich dir was gutes".

Die frage ich, wie schnell die Dinger bei ebay landen. Hoffenltich für einen guten Zweck.

@brauner @dwagenk

Na dann werfe mal ein Los in den Topf!

Ich glaube, für die Ohren dieser Welt ist es besser, wenn ich Gitarren gar nicht erst anfasse. 😄

@kernellogger This reminds me of the saying:

"The only thing more dangerous than a software engineer with a soldering iron is a hardware engineer with a text editor"

@kernellogger Do you have any pedal tips? Didn't realize there were kits for that nowadays. Downloaded tons of schematics 25 years ago and even etched a PCB for a MXR Distortion+ but never got around to populate it or put it in a box. A kit sounds like a much more reasonable effort level for me :)

@olofk me? no. I leave making music to other people, that's better for everyone! 😄

@kernellogger Ah! I see now that was a quote. I misread.
