Moving on..

[Arun Sharma]

Hi All,

Today (September 6th) is my last day at Intel. Working on hardware 
virtualization support in Xen gave me the opportunity to work with some 
really great people in the past year.

Because I'm leaving to pursue other opportunities not directly related 
to virtualization, my involvement in the community will be significantly 
less than it has been in the last few months.

Thank you all for making this a great learning experience.

Moving on

[Philippe Gerum]

It has been two years since I stepped down as Xenomai's lead maintainer.
In the meantime, Jan took over and did a very good job in this role as
expected.

Since this transition period is now taking an end, I'm switching focus
to the EVL project [1] I have been nurturing for some time, with the
goal to make it production-grade next year. In a nutshell, EVL is about
laying the groundwork for dual kernel systems to become first-class
citizens of Linux. This work includes a SMP scalable real-time core
which can be maintained with common kernel knowledge over the latest
mainline kernel series, a standard driver model, and a single, compact API.

I will still review patches coming my way for the I-pipe ARM and arm64
trees for a few weeks, until the next maintainer is appointed for these
architectures. I'll be around to help with Xenomai core issues if needed.

Thanks,

Thank you for your invaluable work! 
As a software developer in the real time control field I must say that going to work is a real joy, and Xenomai is a part of that. Hope you feel the same.

I am certainly looking forward to see what will come out of EVL, but before that: Make sure to have a real Happy Holidays !

Thanks very much Philippe for all the hard work and explanations on
how the ipipe works.  Very interested in trying out EVL once work
calms down.

Philippe,

It's been great to work with you on Xenomai when my work has allowed me to do 
so. I really hope that we can stay in touch and continue to work together in 
the future. I suspect at some point some of the folks in the PPC circles I 
work with are going to have an interest in trying out EVL. I'm especially 
hopeful the end result will be one where a casual user can contribute without 
having many different contexts to keep track of in their heads. ;)

Have a Merry Christmas. I hope your kid is back to being a soccer star by now. 
;)

I am very excited about this as well, and look forward to diving into this soon.  Many, many thanks for your work on Xenomai throughout the years and for running this project with kindness, professionalism, and patience.

Doesnt seem like you will move too far away, good luck with EVL (and getting it upstreamed if that’s the aim).

Hi all,

I'm not sure if it's been all that noticeable, but I've been kind of
quiet on the OpenBMC front lately.  A pair of not-entirely-unrelated
points regarding that: (a) Equinix has decided to suspend development
work on OpenBMC, and (b) I've accepted an offer elsewhere (unrelated
to OpenBMC) and will be moving on from the company in two weeks.

I'll thus be stepping down from the TOF (due to inactivity I'm not
even eligible to run for the next term anyway) and relinquishing
maintainership of the small handful of things I'm currently listed in
OWNERS files for.

obmc-ikvm has two other owners listed (Eddie and Jae), though I don't
think I've seen much activity from either of them on it in a while, so
it may be in need of a new maintainer?

meta-delta I think may have one or two other commercial users out
there somewhere but I don't know of anyone who would take over
maintainership, so I expect it will be effectively orphaned.

meta-asrock sees sporadic interest and occasional activity from
hobbyists, and I could perhaps remain as a maintainer or reviewer in a
hobbyist capacity myself.

Unfortunately I assume this means my grand (if lately rather idle)
plans for omnisensor won't really go anywhere, unless someone else
feels like picking it up and running with it (if so I'd be happy to
help however I can).

To the best of my knowledge there are currently no plans to
discontinue the Equinix-sponsored CI servers, so they will remain
available for the foreseeable future.  Any questions regarding them
should be directed Ed Vielmetti (evielmetti@equinix.com).

It's been good working with you all -- though while I won't be
actively working on the project anymore, I'll probably still lurk on
discord and perhaps pipe up from time to time, for what it's worth.


Thanks,
Zev

Thanks for all your involvement over the past few years, it's been fun!
(Sorry for the late reply was travelling for OSFC).

All the best for the new gig.
