## Source excerpt

In theory, I shouldn't be writing this edition. In reality, I got tired of waiting for Samuel to get this out. Thank You Alex For those that don't know, Alex Ionescu, the kernel coordinator, has resigned. Alex first joined the project in 2004, around the 0.2.2 release. Since then, he's been at the center of quite a few squabbles about how to code the kernel. However, Alex has also been responsible for completely rewriting the kernel almost from the ground up.
