Ok, let me try: "Kernel hackers are funny people. They count time in patch levels. Pavel started hacking kernel at time of Linux 1.3, because he wanted his CD-ROM to work; that eventually became NBD driver. He then helped with x86-64 kernel port and got hibernation support merged into kernel, which he still co-maintains. Pavel currently works on various embedded projects. In his spare time, he rides horses, helps maintaining the LED subsystems, and he is on quest to get up-to-date kernels running on cellphones, with final goal of running "normal" distributions on phones. Pavel believes that community is important, and that important decisions should be made publicly. He believes that development should be fun, and that honest communication should be possible on the mailing lists. Pavel finds it important to get replies when communicating with maintainers; even reply that is not politically correct is useful, because it you know maintainer is willing to talk, and ideally you get also some idea what the problem is. Silent maintainer is worse as you don't know what is going on. Goal of the kernel development should be to get best possible kernel, and it should be possible to have fun while doing so.
