Audiences

Those who are interested in kernel development, and want to use Linux on their Intel Macs (2017 iMac Pro or any Intel Macs since 2018 with T2 security chip). Specifically, we are most interested in (wannabe) kernel developers, since we are currently short of kernel module programmers.

What will we cover

A short history of kernel and userspace developments on t2linux and earlier attempts before t2linux, the current status of Linux support on Macs with T2 security chip, a demonstration of Debian GNU/Linux running on it, and a call for help with development and fixes since we are short of developers.

What will the audience get out of it

The existence of t2linux (we are less known than others e.g. Asahi Linux team), the possibility to use Linux on their Macs, the history of development on less popular hardware, and the opportunity to contribute to less well known but still interesting project.
