mattst88 waves! |

So to update, I've since graduated with a degree in Physics, and I'm |
27 |
now at NC State University studying for a Masters degree in Computer |
28 |
Science. |
29 |
|
30 |
I plan to continue maintaining Alpha-related things, and to handle |
31 |
bugs upstream before they get to Gentoo/Alpha. I've also joined the |
32 |
MIPS team, where I hope to move us out of ~mips and back to the stable |
33 |
path. |
34 |
|
35 |
Glad to be here, and looking forward to working with you all, |
36 |
Matt Turner |
