Dan Williams: Kernels of Wisdom

2023-03-01

Intel Open Source Evangelist Chris Norman hosts this special bonus episode, a Q&A with Intel's Dan Williams. A chance encounter with open source software during an high-school internship put Dan Williams on a path to become Principal Engineer on the team responsible for Intel’s persistent memory (PMEM) enabling in the Linux* kernel. Here he talks about the “janitorial” aspect of maintainers, what he’s seen in 17 years of commits, his take on the discontinuation of the Intel Optane* as well as his new role as chair on the Technical Advisory Board (TAB) at the Linux Foundation*.
