[gentoo-user] [OT] Thanks to the devs

[Michael Mol]

I've noticed a lot of overt participation on this list by gentoo
devs[1], especially in scenarios where they're explaining rationales
and reasoning behind changes that affect users.

I'd just like to say thank you for the work you guys do.

Thank you for the work you guys do.

There. I said it. *Goes back to work*

[1] Perhaps they were already participating, and I didn't notice they were devs.

I posted the same, but a long time ago, so I'll add a mee too.

(Thanking the suse devs here would of course be very inappropriate ;)

But then you'd be excluding gregkh and *that* would be very
inappropriate ;-)

Is gregkh still a SUSE dev?  I thought he now works for Linux
Foundation (since February).

Kerwin.

He did mention on his blog at the time he wanted to continue working on
SuSE and Gentoo kernels. As for what he is actually doing these day, I
don't know

I'm not sure who the devs are (perhaps Hans), but thank you to all for
your patient help with my Ruby questions.  It's not often that you get
people politely answering questions from the laypeople.

  Me too.  They answered my questions as I stumbled along replacing udev
with mdev.  And they even accepted a feature request from me to include
busybox[mdev] as an option in virtual/dev-manager...

$ grep Walter /usr/portage/virtual/dev-manager/ChangeLog 
  Add busybox[mdev] as a provider #395319 by Walter Dnes.

Thank you again.
