Linux's Colonel Of The Kernel Andrew Morton: 'Fix More Bugs'

10/24/2007  
Relevance: 7.84
Andrew Morton, sometimes referred to as the colonel of the kernel, is Linus Torvalds' right hand man when it comes to getting out new kernel releases. Morton screens patches that are candidates for being merged into the kernel. He distributes them to kernel maintainers, watches discussions and feedback from key kernel developers and in general applies a layer of organization to a sometimes chaotic process. In this interview with InformationWeek editor at large, Charles Babcock, he talks about recent kernel development including an assessment of recent patches and tools.

Andrew Morton reveals his plans for Linux 2.6.21

02/10/2007  
Relevance: 6.58
Following the release of Linux Version 2.6.20 a few days ago the development phase of the next kernel version has now taken off. Whereas Linus Torvalds during the last few days has already integrated some 800 patches into his developer kernel that will lead to 2.6.21, Andrew Morton has now informed the kernel developers about his plans for the next kernel version.

Plans for the next Linux kernel revealed

02/13/2007  
Relevance: 6.28
Linux kernel maintainer Andrew Morton last week revealed some of his plans for the next kernel version, a few days after the final release of Linux 2.6.20. Developers are currently revving up the development phase of the 2.6.21 kernel, with major additions planned for the next week or two, before beginning to lock down and stabilize the software. In a message to the kernel developers' mailing list, Morton indicated what some of the major new components will be in 2.6.21. One change will be improvements to the KVM virtualization system, which made its debut in 2.6.20, along with an implementation of paravirtualization.

Kernel space: Interview with Andrew Morton

06/19/2008  
Relevance: 6.21
Andrew Morton is well-known in the kernel community for doing a wide variety of different tasks: maintaining the -mm tree for patches that may be on their way to the mainline, reviewing lots of patches, giving presentations about working with the community, and, in general, handling lots of important and visible kernel development chores. Things are changing in the way he does things, though, so we asked him a few questions by email. He responded at length about the -mm tree and how that is changing with the advent of linux-next, kernel quality, and what folks can do to help make the kernel better.

This week at LWN: ELC: Morton and Saxena on working with the kernel community

05/02/2008  
Relevance: 6.05
In many ways, Andrew Morton's keynote set the tone for this year's Embedded Linux Conference (ELC) by describing the ways that embedded companies and developers can work with the kernel community in a way that will be"mutually beneficial". Morton provided reasons, from a purely economic standpoint, why it makes sense for companies to get their code into the mainline kernel. He also provided concrete suggestions on how to make that happen. The theme of the conference seemed to be"working with the community" and Morton's speech provided an excellent example of how and why to do just that.

"It wouldn't be efficient for you to implement something new, only to have it criticized again. I'd suggest that you come up with a concrete design, describe to us what you propose to do and let's take it from there."— Andrew Morton, in anOctober 17, 2007 posting to the Linux Kernel Mailing List.

Linux: 2.6.23 Stability

In response to another merge request, Andrew Morton retorted,"argh. I have a backlog of maybe 300 patches here which I am cheerfully ignoring while concentrating on preventing 2.6.23 from being less of a disaster than it has already been." He noted that he was not planning to merge any new code into his -mm tree for 2.6.23 inclusion,"the door for new 2.6.23 material shut two weeks ago. Here, at least."
