For those who are attending the foss.in 2007 ,this can tell them what to expect out of it . ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Shreyas Srinivasan <sshreyas@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Nov 5, 2007 3:26 PM Subject: [foss.in] Know the speakers: Thomas Gleixner To: foss-in@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx As a buildup to FOSS.IN we are running a series called "Know the speakers". The first episode of this series features Thomas Gleixner. ==Speaker Bio:== Thomas Gleixner has worked on industrial embedded devices for over 20 years. During the last 9 years he has focused on Linux for industrial applications. He has contributed to Linux in several ways. He is the main author of the hrtimer subsystem and the high resolution timer implementation on top of hrtimers and a major contributor to Ingo Molnars real time preemption patch. He is maintainer of the timer related code and the NAND Flash driver in the Linux kernel. He is the founder of linutronix a german linux service provider with a clear focus on embedded and industrial usage of Linux. ==Interview:== 1) How did you get involved ? Curiosity got me involved. I was working on embedded 8/16bit systems and wanted to know how a real operating system works. Linux was very small and understandable back in 1992 and the source was open to read and play around with it. Linux 0.96 was my first kernel contact and I still have a working boot floppy around from that time. 2) What are you best known for? grep tglx linux/MAINTAINERS but I really do not care much about that. 3) What are your expectations of FOSS.IN/2007? I expect a lifely conference and having lot of contacts with people I never met before. 4) What excites you most about FOSS? Solving complex problems by working with the most excellent brains all over the world, who would be not accessible for me in a closed source environment. 5) Funniest thing you have ever read in a source file or a funny moment related to foss? linux/arch/x86/kernel/tsc_32.c: -johnstul@xxxxxxxxxx<-johnstul%40us.ibm.com>"math is hard, lets go shopping!" ==Talks at FOSS.IN:== Turning Linux into a Real-time Kernel Hope you enjoyed the first episode of "Know the speakers". More in the pipe!
