Linus Torvalds announced the seventh release candidate of the Linux kernel 6.13 and in the afterword suggested sending a guitar pedal he personally assembled to one of the kernel developers. Linus noted that he has a hobby of soldering small electronic devices, which are not too complex, but also not too simple.
Pedals for applying effects while playing electric guitar are perfect for such a hobby, but Linus does not play the guitar, so keeping the assembled devices makes no sense to him. Therefore, he decided to send his creation as a gift to one of the kernel developers. The recipient of the pedal will be chosen randomly.
To participate in the draw, you should send Linus a letter with the message "I want a guitar pedal" and select an available pedal assembly kit. Linus will purchase the chosen kit at his own expense, assemble it, and send the finished device by mail. Applications are only accepted from kernel developers whose email addresses are mentioned in commits accepted into the kernel in 2024.
