I personally never counted myself as a content creator but apparently, I always have been counted as one. Why you may ask? The answer is easy. I have a habit of filming my work, writing blog posts (mostly in Persian), posting my work and code on twitter and stuff.

The scalability of Linus Torvalds was a recurring theme during Linux's early years; these days maintainer struggles are a recognized problem within open-source communities in general. It is thus not surprising that Sean Christopherson gave a talk at Open Source Summit Europe (and KVM Forum) with the title "Scaling KVM and its community". The talk mostly focused on KVM for the x86 architecture—the largest and most mature KVM architecture—which Christopherson co-maintains. But it was not a technical talk: most of the content can be applied to other KVM architectures, or even other Linux subsystems, so that they can avoid making the same kinds of mistakes.
