We also appreciate your invaluable efforts to make the kernel development process more efficient and organized. Your unmatched ability to guide and also encourage the kernel developers is definitely a great asset for the kernel community. I did some research and got access to an incredibly exciting document, which I'm only allowed to cite partially: ".... The Interest Group of world leading companies is driving Open-Source to its next level. A large investment made it possible to recruit an extraordinarily qualified micro-management team, whose members are assigned to various Open-Source projects over time. The goal of this effort is to bring state of the art management methods into the vibrant Open-Source projects on which The Interest Group builds their world leading businesses. This will drive productivity and establish roadmaps, milestones and all these very important things which make the members of The Interest Group so successful. ..." Unfortunately I was not aware of this exciting effort and somehow missed the opportunity to be introduced to my personal micro manager, so I'm terribly sorry that I have no report prepared for you. Of course I will put this on top of my priority list immediately and assemble the requested information as soon as possible. Be aware that this will take some time, as I have to attend the obligatory report training courses at The Interest Group first. Yours sincerly, tglx
