I was curious, in case anybody else doesn’t know who Dirk Hohndel is:
Currently works as Head of the Open Source Program Office at Verizon
Formerly VMware’s Chief Open Source Officer
Formerly spent almost 15 years as Intel’s Chief Linux and Open Source Technologist
Formerly Chief Technology Officer of SuSE and Unix Architect of Deutsche Bank
Developer and contributor in Linux and open source since the early 1990s. He was one of the early Linux kernel developers and has contributed to several dozen open source projects over the years.
