Hi Michael! =) Part of joining Canonical was largely handing off my Hurd responsibilities, as well as a lot of my porting ones. My previous employer had been forgiving about me having 13 architectures (including very noisy and power hungry Alphas and Itaniums) under my desk. My home-office manager, that is to say: my wife, was much less so. =) I think that given patches, the Toronto Hurd Users Group, Talks, on-line tutorials, and such that I did with the Hurd, it's fair to say that I worked on it even after I joined Canonical. It's somewhat ironic - some of why I got the job at Canonical was because of my glibc co-maintainership, which I only took on because of the Hurd. =) Tks, Jeff Bailey
