Biographical synthesis
Together with Charles M. Hannum , Adam Glass , Theo de Raadt in 1993 , they create the NetBSD project . Its repository starts on March 21, 1993, and its first official NetBSD 0.8 release ends in April 1993. At that time Chris and Adam were seniors at the University of California Berkeley .
Career path
Chris was active in maintaining the kernel of the system until 1995 . Afterwards and until August 1997 , he was in charge of maintaining the version for alpha [3] of NetBSD . He was the initial moderator of the comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.announce newsgroup , [4] he had to abandon this activity when he left the maintenance of the kernel , but he recovered it in April 1998 when he could not find a volunteer who wanted to moderate the newsgroup.
Nowadays his participation in the NetBSD project is very limited to small activities: being a beta-tester , answering questions from users , giving advice and offering a historical perspective of the development of the project. He has occasionally participated in other related projects such as FreeBSD .
In his early jobs , he devoted himself to performing tasks associated with the NetBSD system for: DEC [5] and Internet Appliance Group [6] in Palo Alto ( California ) and Carnegie Mellon University , [7] School of Computer Science’s [8] and Parallel Data Lab [9] in Pittsburgh ( Pennsylvania ). He then worked for AT&T laboratories in Menlo Park ( California ), later moving to the San Francisco Bay area, where she works at Vayu Communications (now defunct).
He works for SiByte , [10] which in December 2000 is acquired by Broadcom , [11] a company that in 2006 was dedicated to the development of Wi-Fi technology . Chris’ position on that date is Senior Staff Design Engineer in the Broadband Processor Business Unit department
