Dear Xen Developers,
I wanted to announce that Ian Campbell from Citrix has been nominated
and elected as Xen Hypervisor committer and will be
responsible for the ARMv7+VE components in xen-unstable. We have
seen an increasing number of patches to xen-unstable to enable
support for the ARMv7 processor with virtualization extensions: 64
to be precise. So far, the Xen ARM port in xen-unstable is capable
of booting a Linux 3.0 based virtual machine (dom0).
Ian has made a tremendous contribution to the project on which he
worked almost since its creation. Ian was was one of the top
contributors to the project for the last few years. Let me quote a
few stats:
2010: 203 patches, changing 13101 lines of code
2011: 305 patches, changing 12225 lines of code
Ian also put together a build farm for the project that utilizes
10 Freescale i.MX53 Loco Quickstart boards. Besides working on the
Hypervisor, Ian has also made significant contributions to the PVOPS project.
Congratulations Ian!
Best Regards
Lars
