Unless I'm forgetting someone (sorry!) I don't think there are any other pro mm kernel devs in the whole of the UK?

Whereas in Czechia you can't walk down the street without meeting 3 of them 🤣

EDIT: Turns out there's another guy! Apologies to Ryan Roberts, not been looking at mTHP all that much so missed him!

@ljs The one I know in the UK is reportedly going to relocate to Dubai. So, no luck.

@ljs The earliest commit I found, everything else is up to you to dig up. Regarding moving to finance, see what MM does to people? Beware.

@oleksandr yeah I've not encountered any such person but I might have missed someone. Pretty sure though based on lsf.

And lol, I'm super super super happy with this new job + mm.

But on the mm side - maybe that says more about me and my crazy mind

@ljs This is accurate only if you choose the street and time wisely, e.g. the only street in banik-pyčo with any night life during the Labs Conference week…

@oleksandr @ljs Memory management? In my forties I'm more interested in research on memory loss management.

@ljs My estimate all kernel maintainers in Finland in any area would take about a single store bus to fill in. Not sure if @jani agrees with my estimate but this has been impression at least in conferences :-)
