Here there's the last version of the developers list. Sorry if I post it now,
but I'm a student and I have done an exam in these days... [about compilers and
languages ;)]
Read carefully everything.
Thanks.
Attachment description:
----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<
There are 3 files: Intro, Old-Sparc and Ultra-Sparc.
Intro -> Introduction
Old-Sparc -> the old Sparc (Sparc32) group
Ultra-Sparc -> the Ultra Sparc group
Actually, there's no "this guy is doing this" because, when you'll have a
clearer idea of "What I want to do!" send me a message and I'll include near the
name field a new "is doing" field. It will appear as:
Name: SuperMan (superman@world.com) -> saving the world.
Ciao Ciao
Paolo Di Francesco

Here there is the "complete" list of old-Sparc and Ultra Sparc developers.
If you find some errors please contact me!
Suggestions welcome! ;)
Note 1: Aren't you in this list? Send me a private message and I'll include you

SPARC: SS4
Time: 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Stefan Molnar Stefan Molnar <stefan@csudsu.com>
Actively Dev: Tester?
Why: I am not much of a coder, also I work at Sun Doing
Solaris Stress Testing mainly alpha/beta versions of Solaris.
Sparc: Sparc sun4c and sun4m
Time: 5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Lyndon Griffin <lgriffin@naviant.com>
Actively Dev: Not currently
Why: lack of experience
Sparc: SparcStation 10, SparcStation 20, USparc,
SPARCstation 330 (primary)
Time: 3
Note : Prefer to develop/test for "old sparc," can also perform some limited
testing on my production ultra
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : Mark Newton <newton@atdot.dotat.org>
Actively Dev: Not right now
Why: No time, no UltraSPARC
Sparc: Yup - sun4c architecture SPARCstation IPC (currently NetBSD)
Time: 3
I only have old SPARC, but I think a priority should be uSPARC development.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Erik Cameron <ecameron@bsd.uchicago.edu>,
Activeley Dev: not actively coding...
Why: Learning neccesary skills to be of use in that dept. :)
Currently working on building FreeBSD userland
on top of OpenBSD 2.3/sparc kernel on a SparcStation IPX.
Time: Flexible for time; gimme a 4 before standard deviation.
Note: Will be working on "old sparcs."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Wes Peters <wes@softweyr.com>
Actively Dev: Willing to work on userland stuff, compiler tools, and
TCP/IP networking code.
Sparc: SPARCstation 5/170, and possibly UltraSPARC 5
Time: 2
Note: Yes. old-SPARC first, because I can afford one of those at home. ;^)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: pfm@slack.net <Patrick McAndrew>
Actively Dev: I can develop/port userland utilities and do some device
driver work. I will just need either a place to start from
(NetBSD/OpenBSD drivers?) or someone to work with in
building them. I can also test on the Sun4m and probably
Sun4u platform (hopefully)
Sparc: I have a ss5 and a ss2, like I said above, I might be able to
grab a few ultras.
Time: 10-20 hours a week.

Sparc: No
Time: 5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Rik Schneider (rik@deranged.schneider.org)

Time: 3
Note : can only perform some limited testing on my production ultra
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Joe Orthoefer <orthoefe@gte.net>
Activeley Dev: no.
Why: Time constraints, lack of expertise, should have a block of
time coming up in December, need to reorganize 4 years worth
of files to get disk space on my freebsd boxes to get a stable
developement environment for some cross tools/source repos.
Sparc: My wife's Ultra 5. Plan to set things up to allow netbooting
and to pull a serial cable over to my work area for a
console...
Time: Currently rate a 1, December may see 3.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Alfred Perlstein <bright@hotjobs.com>
Activeley Dev: Yes going to start working on code in the next week.
Sparc: Yes i have an ultra sparc
Time: It's hard to say about time, i'll say very little time during
the week, but most of the whole weekends.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Nobuhiro Kurihara <kurihara@rindou.Japan.Sun.COM>
Actively Dev: N/A

Time: 2
My boxes are productive servers. I can test userland code that can be run
from Solaris, if such a thing exist.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: pfm@slack.net <Patrick McAndrew>
Actively Dev: I can develop/port userland utilities and do some device
driver work. I will just need either a place to start from
(NetBSD/OpenBSD drivers?) or someone to work with in

Sun4u platform (hopefully)

Time: 10-20 hours a week.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Bill Swingle (Unfurl <unfurl@dub.net>)
Active Dev?: No, but I really have a desire to see this port happen and
want to learn by jumping in head first
Sparc: I have a SS5 on my desk at work and a farm of U2/300's that I am
responsible for. I cant really do much with these machines as
they are production boxen. I do have plans to purchase a SS5
soon though.
Time: 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Jason George (jbg@masterplan.org)
Actively Dev: No, but will test code as available
Why: Am currently constrained by other projects
SPARC: SPARCStation 5/110, OpenBSD 2.2
Time: 2
Note: Will offer bandwidth and disk to mirror "repositories"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Matthew Jacob <mjacob@feral.com>
Actively Dev: Not really- see below.
Why: I am completely overcommited and am promised to the FreeBSD/alpha
port after the CAM work if I get any time at all. Will answer
architecture and internals (solaris) questions (former Sun DDI
group employee- actually did the Sun4 (4/470) solaris port as a
DDI proof of concept port 7 years ago...). I will ensure that
the SBus and PCI Qlogic 'isp' drivers work on sparc when you get
that far. May end up doing a socal SBus driver for Linux so
might do one for *BSD. If I get any spare time at all, might
do a conjoint fas/esp HBA driver.
Can maybe make available some testing resources.
SPARC: sun4d, sun4m, sun4c, sun4u (PCI)
Time: 0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Stephen Kiernan <sab@vegamuse.org>
Actively Dev: Yes
Why: I can work on pretty much anything we need to get done.
Probably start with the work that was done previously on
boot loading while others get the userspace working under
NetBSD or similar.
Sparc: Sparc sun4m and sun4u (Ultra 1 200MHz)
Time: 5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Christopher Nielsen <enkhyl@scient.com>
Actively Dev: No; after 1/1/99
Why: Waiting to purchase hardware
Sparc: SS1, buying UltraSPARCengine AXi based machine after 1/1/99
Time: 1 until after 1/1/99, 2-4 after 1/1/99
