I think you're wrong. There's a fair few SUSE people in there. The person who did nearly all of the heavy lifting before he stepped down was SuSE. A lot of the "senior" team (just a couple of people, as per normal) are Far Eastern, I'm not sure of their company affiliation. About the only person I'm confident IS RedHat is the guy maintaining mdadm, which is not mdraid (it's the management tool, not the "do the work" tool). Cheers, Wol
