Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org OK, it's been a good week now and about half a dozen volunteers/nominations have come forward, so it's time to make a choice. To be honest, everybody who expressed interest in being the ia64 2.6 maintainer easily qualified and would have had my vote of confidence, but since there can be only one, I decided to ask Tony Luck to take on the responsibility. Tony is of course well-known on this list and needs no introduction, but my hope is that his deep knowledge of ia64 Linux and professionalism should ensure that the 2.6 kernel will have a good live under his stewardship. In terms of actual transition, I expect for the hand-over to occur just about the same time that 2.7 opens up. In the meantime, please welcome Tony in his new role! --david
