My name is Mel Gorman and I'm working in SUSE Labs as a kernel developer
specialising in memory management. On occasion I work on other subsystems
within the kernel where necessary. I have periodically worked on performance
analysis and enhancements of workloads and it is a topic I've spent a lot
of time on recently. I expect I'll be spending a lot more time on it in
the future.

Hi,

My name is Michal Marek, I work in SUSE Labs as the team lead of the
Hardware Enablement Team. While most the team is focused on areas like
graphics / VNC, USB, wireless, etc, I personally am involved with the
kernel build infrastructure and packaging both at SUSE and in the
upstream kernel. The SUSE side of the infrastructure also includes the
never ending joy of keeping the internal ABI of the SLE kernels stable.

Michal

Hi folks -

My name's Jeff Mahoney. I lead one of the SUSE Labs kernel teams
primarily responsible for file systems and storage. Personally, I
mainly work on btrfs and reiserfs, though I tend to range across the
whole kernel as-needed.

Better late than never... Right?

My name is Mitch Richling.  I work for Texas Instruments.  I'm part of
a team responsible for defining the future direction of the
engineering compute environment within TI's semiconductor business
units. 

I look forward to our discussions.
