From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

2024?
Generally speaking, you would produce a report recapping a year after that year is over, yes.
But not usually after nearly half a year later
Actually, yeah, every year for them its released the summer of the following year.
Each subproject submits their own detailed overview of the prior year, including any conference/working group events, sprints, pictures from the same, mentorship progeams, major changes in individual projects, as well as detailed financials for where money came from, where the money went.
It generally will take a few months to compile that (especially when you're talking an open source foundation with a multitude of groups under the umbrella), and then time to organize it all.
Even companies will take several months after the conclusion of their year to provide similar details in an annual review.
Its a bit late this year being in August, usually its June, but late spring to summer is when it gets released every year.
Edited to add: I think it even came out in October or November some years back. 2018? 2019? Something like that.
interesting
Reports are usually done for the past year. 2025 has not finished, so no day of making a complete report.
