60 Professional software engineer by day, Debian developer by night
63 Regular Linux contributor in both roles since 2008
66 Maintaining a net driver in my day job, plus core networking
67 and PCI code as necessary
70 Debian kernel team member, now doing most of the unstable
71 maintenance aside from ports
74 Maintaining Linux 3.2.<var>y</var> stable update series on
83 <h1>Linux releases early and often</h1>
84 <ul class="incremental">
86 Linux is released about 5 times a year (plus stable updates
90 For 'wheezy' we chose to freeze with Linux 3.2, which was
91 getting pretty old by the time of release
94 Good news: we have lots of new kernel features in testing/unstable
97 Bad news: some of them won't really work without new userland
103 <h1>Team device driver [3.3]</h1>
104 <ul class="incremental">
106 Alternative to the bonding driver - simpler, modular, high-level
107 control deferred to userland
110 Basic configuration can be done with <tt>ip</tt>, but it really
111 needs new tools - <tt>teamd</tt>, <tt>teamnl</tt>, etc.
