I saw this story over at LXer.com, and I’m a bit surprised that there isn’t more fuss. Alan Cox is the Number Two kernel developer after Linus, though he hasn’t been as visible in recent years as he used to be. He’s been a fixture at Red Hat for nearly a decade. The good news is he is moving to Intel, which should mean bringing a welcome breath of sanity, vision, and good sense to Intel’s FOSS development. Best wishes to you, Alan, I hope it works out well for you!
