The NetBSD project is pleased to welcome three new developers:
- Damon Brodie, <damon@netbsd.org>, who has been helping with
the NetBSD Packages Collection[1] for quite some time. He
has contributed many packages and PRs for pkgsrc, particularly
regarding perl modules, X-10, and iButtons.
- Takashi Hosokawa, <takashi@netbsd.org>, who works for
Plat'Home CO., LTD.[2], a well-known UNIX system solution company
in Tokyo, Japan. At Plat'Home, Takashi has been engaged in
developing OpenBlockS[3], a PowerPC 860 based micro server.
With great affinity, he has finished a new port of NetBSD to
the OpenBlockS micro server. He will be working on integrating
his new port into the NetBSD source tree, and will take on the
role of NetBSD/openblocks port maintainer. Takashi's other
interests include X11 and internationalization.
- Bang Jun-Young, <junyoung@netbsd.org>, who will be continuing work
on uwscons (universal wscons), a multilingual console driver for
NetBSD. More specifically, uwscons is an expansion to wscons
(NetBSD's platform-independent workstation console driver), which
allows for display of multilingual/encoding text.
