It might be helpful if we also post the questions (technical+non-technical) here, so Dr. Matthews has a better idea of what we expect to learn.
I would like to know: - If we want to work for companies like RH/Canonical/Mozilla... with the level of knowledge we can afford when we graduate, what's your suggestions? What's the best that we can do? - A general introduction to file systems. - You said you've been working on the Journalling Flash File System (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JFFS) for flash-based devices. What is the difference/what makes it harder|easier to make a file system for a spinning disc and for a flash chip? JFFS is for NOR chips, and it looks like we're moving toward NAND chips. Can JFFS handle NAND as well as NOR? - Linux kernel: How do developers communicate? What is the workflow to get a enhancement/bug fix be committed to the mainline kernel? - Huan.
