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,

  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.

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

Which companies are helping developing the kernel

2007-10-14 Thread Stefan Heinrichsen
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?
