There are a few other SUSE people interested in this project. Petr Tesarik ¹ SUSE HackWeek is a week that can be used by all SUSE R&D employees for innovative projects of their choice (instead of their regular work). -- Crash-utility mailing list Crash-utility@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/crash-utility
