Upstream First: Changing How We Build Together

Event overview:  

This session explores Qualcomm’s journey to move premier-tier silicon into mainline Linux from day zero.

By treating upstream contribution as a first-class deliverable, not a cleanup exercise, we unlock reuse across IoT, automotive, and compute derivatives while reducing rebase cost and accelerating LTS alignment.

The result is not only better code, but a new way of building together, with the community as a force multiplier rather than an afterthought.
