[font=inherit]The FreeBSD Foundation is pleased to announce that Edward Tomasz Napierała has joined as its second member of technical staff. This is a continuation of the Foundation's plan to invest in staff in 2013.[/font]
[font=inherit][/font][font=inherit]A FreeBSD committer since 2007, Edward previously completed a number of projects under Foundation grants, including safe device removal with mounted filesystems, growing mounted filesystems, and resource containers.[/font]
[font=inherit][/font][font=inherit]Edward is currently implementing a native in-kernel iSCSI stack (both target and initiator) for this increasingly popular block storage protocol. "Although there are a number of iSCSI target implementations that support FreeBSD, the project lacks a high performance and reliable in-kernel target. As iSCSI gains favor, this stack will be a key element in maintaining FreeBSD's competitive position in enterprise and open-source deployments" said Justin T. Gibbs, president of the FreeBSD Foundation. The project is expected to be completed in October 2013.[/font]
[font=inherit][/font][font=inherit]Another part of Edward's responsibilities will be assisting the FreeBSD Security Team in preparing security advisories and patches.[/font]
[font=inherit][/font][font=inherit]Edward lives in Warsaw, Poland.[/font]
