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
