How and why to work with the kernel community Introduction What is my affiliation with VIA First contact with VIA in Q3/2007 I became VIA Open Source Liaison in July 2008 In this role, I help the VIA Linux Committee, PM's and Engineers to understand the Linux and Open Source world to communicate with the Open Source world to interface to Linux community concerns and take them to VIA to get VIA on track for world-class Linux support I percieve myself more as Linux person inside VIA, not VIA person in Linux ;) Sorry: I am an expert on Linux, not [yet] on VIA's products so please excuse me if I say something wrong about VIA hardware I don't speak for VIA, just for myself
