Subject: Which companies are helping developing the kernel
Date: Sunday, October 14, 2007 - 6:06 pm

Hello,


I posted this question at comp.linux.misc and where told this would be a better place therefore.

I would like to do a internship in the field of the Linux kernel.

Can someone tell me where to find a list of companies (don't matter in which

country) that employ kernel developers?


Stefan

Hello,


  Adding to his question, I am interested in doing a PhD in Operating Systems.

  Would anybody have some information on a similar list of labs and/or Universities

  that host projects related to Linux?


  Thanks in advance.

Look at Greg's talk from the last OLS:

I think Greg wrote a paper on this subject, so I've added him to CC in case he

has the link handy.

Yeah, but my paper didn't really track companies very well.  The lwn.net

article is the best, and below is my version of who did things in

2.6.23.  Note, the lack of a company is not an indicator that they did

nothing, just that I could not easily determine someone worked for them.

I'll try to send out my "who are you working for" emails in a week or so

to see if I can further categorize the "unknowns".


thanks,
