Betreff: Kick off the Linux Driver Project (again, this time for real)


Hi all,


You are getting this message because you have expressed interest in the Linux Driver project.  I have set up a mailing list for this, which everyone is now subscribed to.  If you want off of the list, just follow the directions at the bottom of this message, or email me directly, I'll be glad to take you off.


Sorry for the very long delay in getting this project back up off the ground.  When I first announced it back in January, I never expected it to be so popular.  Unfortunately, it ended up being pushed way back on my priority list as I had to deal with my day job at Novell first, then my Linux kernel development, then with any spare time left over, this project.


The good news is that this has now changed.  As of today, Novell is sponsoring me to work on this Linux driver project as my first priority.

This means I will have the time and resources to commit to managing the different developers and driver projects as part of my daily job.


So, to kick things off, everyone go look at the new wiki we have installed at:

	www.linuxdriverproject.org

It's pretty bare-bones, but should be enough to get people started with how to interact with the project.


As individual developers, we have a lot of companies that are currently waiting for developers.  The new group of project managers will soon be contacting people on this list with requests for help for specific projects.  Please help them out and work with them to help create drivers for the different companies involved.


If you are a project manager, I'll be poking you all with the different companies that have contacted me with requests to help you all start going on them.


If you are with a company, and you haven't heard from me in a few months as to the status of your driver project, please poke me again so that I can set things up in the new structure so that your driver gets properly developed and maintained.


We also need general help getting the word out about this project.  If anyone has any PR experience, we could really use the help.


Again, sorry for the very long delay.  And if anyone has any questions about anything regarding these projects, please let me know.


thanks,


greg k-h
