Does anyone have a recommendation where > I could set one up? github or gitorious are the first to come to my mind. They both work fine and are easy to set up, at least as a temporary location. If you want to have something more official in the long run, you could either set up your own git server on your employer's domain or if that is impractical, get an account on kernel.org or linaro.org. Both of those try to limit the amount of accounts they hand out to external people, but since you are going to be a subsystem maintainer, I don't see it as a problem. Arnd
