From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andi Kleen Subject: Temporary ACPI maintainer for this summer Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:43:33 +0200 Message-ID: <871w2fujga.fsf@basil.nowhere.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Return-path: Received: from smtp-out04.alice-dsl.net ([88.44.63.6]:55593 "EHLO smtp-out04.alice-dsl.net" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1760923AbYF3NoN (ORCPT ); Mon, 30 Jun 2008 09:44:13 -0400 Sender: linux-acpi-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org To: linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: lenb@kernel.org, torvalds@osdl.org, akpm@osdl.org, acpi@linux.intel.com Len Brown is on sabbatical from Intel this summer. While he's away I'm serving as the temporary ACPI maintainer. Please send all ACPI mails and patches you would normally send to Len to me, ideally cc linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org. As usual please put all ACPI bug reports into http://bugzilla.kernel.org. First (in case he still reads that) I would like to thank Len (and all the other ACPI hackers of course) for all the great work done on the ACPI code in the last years, turning it from a problem child to a quite respectable kernel subsystem. I'm not as deep in all things ACPI as Len is, so I'll often rely on the various other ACPI hackers for specific issues. My main goal will be to merge patches from the usual contributors and try to keep the ACPI bugs and regressions under control. I don't plan many new features, but features already in progress will be processed as they are ready. I'm also not full time working on ACPI, but also active in other areas. This means I will not write that many ACPI patches myself or do extensive testing on my own, but mostly focus on review and merging and bug triage. The git tree setup for the merges will be announced later. I won't directly use Len's tree. I'll take over all patches Len has already queued, so no need to resubmit them. But if he doesn't have something acknowledged already you want to be included, please retransmit it to me. The .27 merge will be primarily patches Len has already queued in his release tree. -Andi
