While it seems that The Linux Foundation failed to issue a report in 2018, the
linux.conf.au 2019 was held in New Zealand in January of this year, obviously discussing much of what was happening in 2018. A very good
Kernel Report (46 minutes) from this conference can be watched on YouTube
here.
In fact, YouTube seems to have almost
150 videos from this same conference, so there is much to learn about besides the kernel. Other things sometimes show up in these search results, but as you scroll through watch for just "
linux.conf.au 2019 -- Christchurch, New Zealand" below the video titles.
Cheers
