I've updated the device-drivers leaders page at
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/device_drivers/leaders/
So that it now shows the contributor grants that have been recorded.
Many thanks to Stephen Lau for creating the code to facilitate this.
Now that I see that, there are some grants that I think are missing.
I'm proposing the following people for grants. Please let me know by
responding with a +1 or -1. (I need 2 more +1's and no -1's to approve
these folks.) In particular, I want to get this resolved before elections.
* Jurgen Keil: Core Contributor
- Jurgen has been active with suspend/resume, and has offered a
number of hacks to improve that. He has also authored a few other
device drivers of his own.
* Alan DuBoff: Contributor
- Alan has been a facilitator for others getting their code in.
Notably, he sponsored the putback of sfe, is working on some other NIC
drivers, and has also worked with me on the QA testing required to
integrate afe and mxfe.
* Masayuki Murayama: Core Contributor
- Murayama's NIC drivers are fairly famous throughout the community.
* Javen Wu: Contributor
- Javen has been active with storage adapters.
* David Gwynne: Contributor
- David wrote the "mfi" driver that some folks are using. He's also
the author of quite a few OpenBSD drivers, some of which have probably
been used within OpenSolaris.
* Alta Elstad: Contributor
- Alta has played a significant role in enhancing the Writing Device
Drivers document.
As far as the designation between CC and C grants, I've tried to limit
CC grants to people whom I think have contributed actual code that is
widely used by the community, and whom I think are likely to participate
in elections and represent the community well. I am not interested in
handing out CC grants to folks that I don't think will vote in elections.
* James Liu: Contributor
- James has been active at Sun in working with 3rd party OEMs to
"encourage" them to have their products supported in (Open)Solaris.
Just yesterday he called me up to follow up on where things were at
w.r.t. Intel and open sourcing iprb.
* Randy Fishel: Core Contributor
- Randy has been quite involved with suspend/resume as the S3
suspend/resume project lead. But his background and experience extend
to lots of other device drivers in OpenSolaris. He's been readily
accessible to the community as well.
I'm happy to hear other suggestions or suggestions why people I've
offered up for Contributor grants should get Core Contributor grants
instead. (For some of the C grant suggestions, I was sort of on the
fence about whether CC grant might be more appropriate. I figured
better to err on the side of caution -- I'd far rather be asked to
promote someone later to CC than to make a mistake and wind up wanting
to demote a CC to a C.)
