The 2.5 Kernel Tree And Alan Cox

Posted by Hemos on from the moving-forward-off dept.

Motor writes "It seems that (as everyone suspected), the 2.5 Linux kernel tree is close to opening. However, contrary to expectations, 2.4 will not be maintained by Alan Cox, but will instead be handled by Marcelo Tosatti. Thanks to Alan for all his hard work on 2.0 and 2.2."

    So Marcelo Tosatti is the new made man ? I thought the books were closed...

    You know your a geek when a post by Alan Cox is more exciting to you than say, meeting the President.

      I once met Alan, at the first Linux Expo in Olympia, 1999.

      I noticed him standing next to me and I just exclaimed "Alan Cox!" I was so overcome I couldn't say anything else. He just smiled... like I was some kind of idiot... which I suppose I was. I then drifted off to the Debian stand to buy a T-shirt.

      Yes, meeting Dubya would most certainly not have left such an imprint on my mind.
