Everyone else-- I'm looking forward to working with you all to make bcache better-- faster, more robust, and more concurrent. A bit of my background-- I've been running Linux since 0.99pl15. I'm currently maintainer of dRonin, a drone autopilot with a few thousand users, and a few related repositories of tools. Professionally, I've worked in the area of high-speed networking, distributed systems, and block storage at a variety of startups. including supervising and contributing to a bit of driver work. I am new to maintaining a subsystems, though, so I'd appreciate everyone's help and patience. I have a tree up at https://github.com/mlyle/linux/ bcache-for-next which contains linux-next and Coly's latest for-next patches, plus a couple more on my control system series of changes. I also have put up a preliminary continuous integration builder at: http://jar.lyle.org:8080/job/linux/ which right now just builds branches in my repository, but I am planning to add some limited automated VM test of bcache to it and checkpatch etc. A summary of the current state of the bcache-for-next tree is currently at: http://jar.lyle.org:8080/job/linux/16/ Mike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bcache" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
