Hey everyone, The Linux containers project is an umbrella project which is composed of various sub-projects. The most well-known among them currently are: - LXC - LXCFS - LXD
All of these projects need to be maintained. That includes fixing bugs, implementing new features, properly handling security issues, releasing new versions, backporting fixes to stable branches, providing long term support, maintaining test-suites and general infrastructure, etc. To competently cover all of these tasks we have maintainers. Usually, Stéphane Graber, Serge Hallyn, and myself are the ones that have the most visibility but we are not the only ones! Over the last weeks we added two new maintainers. We are very happy to welcome: 1. Free Ekanayaka (@freeekanayaka on Github) as a new maintainer of LXD. He has mostly been working tirelessly behind the scenes on the new LXD clustering feature. He is the sole author of the new dqlite project ( https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/dqlite ) a distributed SQLite database. In fact, he has written the same project twice: once in GO and now in C to significantly increase performance. We're very happy to have him on board. 2. Wolfgang Bumiller(@Blub\0 on Github) as a new maintainer of LXC and LXCFS. Wolfgang has been a LXC contributor for a long term touching various parts of the codebase. He has added multiple new features. Recently, he added support for AppArmor stacking to LXC and introduced a new way to add custom AppArmor rules per container by introducing the lxc.apparmor.raw config key. We are usually very stingy in granting write access to low-level projects such as LXC and LXCFS but Wolfgang has proven himself in both projects as well as fixing various kernel bugs. We're very happy that he is on board. In case you were wondering who currently maintains what. For LXD we have Serge Hallyn, Christian Brauner, Stéphane Graber, Free Ekanayaka, Tycho Andersen, and Mike Mccracken. For LXC we have Serge Hallyn, Christian Brauner, Stéphane Graber, Dwight Engen, and Wolfgang Bumiller. And for LXCFS Serge Hallyn, Christian Brauner, Stéphane Graber, and Wolfgang Bumiller. A big thank you to everyone who spends time helping maintain these projects. All of your are doing outstanding work and your help is greatly appreciated. The Linux containers team
