[Sheflug] Re: Rusty Russell

Dear All

Looks like I slipped up last night when I explained that Rusty was
coming here to give us a lecture.  He's not a Samba person but he is a
kernel code personage.

So, if you are a programmer you might want to be there on the 14th of
April to ask him questions.

His own words about himself are as follows.........


Rusty Russell is best known as packet filter maintainer for the Linux
Kernel.  Most recently, he created a generic packet filtering
architecture "netfilter", on top of which he implemented a new packet
filtering and full NAT systems.  His many distractions include editing
the File Hierarchy Standard 2.2, writing Rusty's Unreliable Guides,
and the Linux Graphing Project.


I'm looking forward to his talk.  We might go for dinner afterwards
but he does have to jump on a plane in Manchester soon after he
finishes his lecture.

Thanks


Richard
