Hi everybody,

The video of my presentation is now available on its permanent page:

• Reproducing Linux Kernel Bugs in 5 Minutes with virtme-ng
  https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/99ULYW-repro-linux-kernel-bug-5-min-virtme-ng/

I would like to share a more detailed reflection on the presentation itself. I believe we should be our own toughest critics, and I hope the lessons I learned will be useful both for me and for others preparing for future conferences.

It was a long journey. I heard about Linux Kernel Mentorship Program in the mid of the January, went through the application process and was selected as a mentee. Despite I wasn’t a newbie kernel developer, I learnt a lot during my mentorship period. And now, this journey is over and I am graduated.
I want to thank my wonderful and patient Linux Foundation mentors and experienced kernel developers and maintainers - Shuah Khan, Javier Carrasco Cruz and Julia Lawall from the bottom of my heart for their support, wise and passion.
