AI AND MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS

Avoid submitting low-effort, AI-generated proposals. While The Linux Foundation does not ban the use of AI, especially since it can be a helpful tool for non-native English speakers, we strongly discourage submissions that appear to be low-quality or clearly AI-generated “slop.” If we identify that a submitter is consistently submitting AI-generated slop, it may result in removal from the review process and/or a ban from future Linux Foundation CFPs.
