Song Li: Good to here from you ;-) Well our general conspirator and coordinator is bsdimp.. imp@freebsd.org aka Warner Losh. Warner is currently working on the cavium. I am working in my spare time on RMI/XLR There are bunches of other folks as well that contribute we can all be found on #bsdmips in IRC. What hardware do you have available to play with... since you are at stanford you must be in the bay area ;-) If you want to meet some time let me know ;-D R On Jan 17, 2010, at 4:18 PM, Song Li wrote: > Hi fellow gurus, > > May I ask who are actively involved in porting FreeBSD to MIPS?
