Hello all,
I want to introduce myself to the linaro-kernel and linaro-dev lists as I just started at Linaro today in the role of Kernel Working Group Technical Lead and will be working closely with all of you on enhancing the ARM Linux ecosystem. I've been using Linux since 1993 and working with the Linux kernel for over 10 years for a variety of companies including silicon vendors, OSVs, and device vendors with a broad variety of experience including ARM CPU and board bring up, hacking on a variety of device drivers, maintaining a distro kernel, maintaining a few ARM sub-architectures, educating HW vendors and new developers about the open source development model, etc. I've been a bit out of the loop of the open source community the last 1-2 years and am really excited to be involved with Linaro working on community-focused technology enablement and enhancement.
I expect this first week to be mostly focused on reading up on process, existing deliverables, mailing list archives, etc to wrap my head around where we are right now and where we're headed with the 11.11 release. I'll be at LDS and look forward to meeting many of you next week and I want to encourage anyone who won't be at LDS but has concerns, ideas, questions related to the kernel WG to drop me an email.
Thanks! ~Deepak
