Greg Kroah-Hartman is a kernel champion, devfs headsman and inexplicable lover of PCI Hotplug subsystems. The first computer that he ever used was a Radio Shack TRS-80, Model 3, and the first piece of code that he ever wrote were programs in BASIC that ended up being used by his parents for different volunteer tasks they were involved in at the time (Rf.1). He has resided in Portland, Oregon for more than ten years with his beautiful wife and two children, and currently works for Novell in the SUSE Labs division as a full time employee on the Linux Driver Project. He is considered to be an authority and “rock star” in his field, and is the co-author of "Linux Device Drivers, 3rd Edition" and sole author of the book entitled, "Linux Kernel in a Nutshell" (Rf.2). He used to be a contributing editor for Linux Journal, and began building the Linux kernel in 1996, and wrote the programs for the Linux kernel drivers in 1999. He is the current maintainer of the USB, PCI, driver core and sysfs subsystems in the kernel source tree, the staging subsystem, USB, driver core, debugfs, kref, kobject, and the sysfs kernel subsystems. Another one of his co-responsibilities is maintaining the Linux kernel for the -stable branch with his colleague, Chris Wright (Rf.3). He is also the maintainer of the linux-hotplug , and created and maintains the Linux Device Driver Kit. He also contributes articles to LWN.net, the news computing site, and in 2006, he released a CD image of material to introduce a programmer to working on Linux device driver development.
