[cab-discuss] request to be recognized as a core contributor

[Garrett D'Amore]

Per Al Hopper's suggestion:

I have contributed a variety of things to Solaris over the
years, and most recently for OpenSolaris have the following projects
brewing:

1) afe network driver integration (possibly also mxfe), and updates to support Nemo
2) grand-unification effort for serial drivers (back-burnered ATM, but not forgotten)
3) crypto contributions pending (e.g. RNG support for Padlock, that I hope to post this week)
4) various bits to improve platform support for Tadpole hardware
5) possibly going forward improvements to in-kernel framebuffers (e.g. I wrote NetBSD radeonfb, which I'd like to port to OpenSolaris)
6) wifi enhancements -- I've got fixes for the PCI prism driver, and other bits
7) improvements for PS/2 keyboards
8) improvements for touchpads
9) various other minor patches (e.g. rge patch for more NIC support, xargs, id, and kstat fixes)
10) forthcoming improvements for power management on SPARC platforms (I hope)

Despite all this, no one group recognizes my contribution as qualifying
for Core Contributor.  (The laptop community might recognize me as a
Contributor, but the current list proposed does not go beyond that.)
