What Greg Does

With my recent job change, I'm starting to run into a bunch of
people asking "What exactly are you going to be doing now?"

I've tried responding by describing the kernel related stuff I've been
doing for the past years, and it turns out that a lot of people didn't
even realize I was doing that.

Need a Job? New Study Says Learn Linux.

No one disputes that that tech jobs are fueling the economy in the U.S. and around the world. The U.S. President said in his recent State of the Union address that there are twice as many openings in the science and technology sector as there are people to fill them. But where exactly are these jobs? And, who exactly is landing them?

The cracking of kernel.org

As has recently been announced on the main kernel.org page, the main kernel.org server (known as “hera”) was recently compromised by an unknown intruder. This person was able to gain “root” access, meaning they had the full run of the system. Speaking as just one of many members of the kernel development community, I can say that this episode is disturbing and embarrassing. But I can also say that there is no need to worry about the integrity of the kernel source or of any other software hosted on the kernel.org systems.

Looking for a MeeGo job? Looking for a MeeGo developer?

You know what's awesome? Getting paid to work on MeeGo.

You know what's even more awesome? Having a central place where you can post jobs (if you're an employer) and find jobs (if you want to want to do the work).

We've made some changes to the organization of the job board over at the Linux Foundation, specifically highlighting MeeGo jobs. At http://jobs.meego.com, you can post jobs quickly and easily, and those looking for paid MeeGo positions can find them in one place.

Have fun!

Glamorous pictures?

The event last weekend was a "no cameras" event, and while we'll have pictures, I don't have them yet.
And I think I'll keep them private when we get them - no need to embarrass the beautiful people any more than we already did.
So to make up for that, here's a glamorous shot from about seventeen years ago that maddog (on the left) found the other day. It's from DECUS, New Orleans, 1994.
