But in daily life I use my Chinse name, it is "Rui Yang" in Chinese pinyin. Since I could attend more local conferences if possible, it is better to keep the name consistent to be the "Rui Yang" instead of "Dave Young", so I decided to change the email full name. > > I know something about kernel and kexec/kdump and worked in Red Hat around 15 years in this area. Recently the original maintainers (Tao Liu, cced) can not pay too much time on crash maintenance, so I volunteered to maintain this project as a hobby. I'd like to continue to maintain it and improve it, keep in sync with kernel changes. I appreciate the previous great work from Dave Anderson, Lianbo Jiang, Tao Liu and Kazuhito Hagio. > > To make crash better, I would welcome more contributors, either test, triage, feedback, or code review. > > My recent personal plan about this project is to get more familiar with this project details (with assistance from AI): > * A crash-lab to learn the crash usage > * convert the crash-utility.github.io content to rst files under git repo, and automatically update them when source code changes. > * update the outdated docs if possible. > * Fix bugs I found, review/handle the github issues. Thanks so much for volunteering to take on the role of crash maintainer. I really appreciate your willingness to help! Due to some changes in my team's priorities, I need to dedicate more of my time to other areas rather than the crash utility. I've discussed this with Dave, and he's happy to share the maintenance responsibilities with me. I'm also confident that Dave will make a great maintainer!

Thanks, Tao Liu > > -- > Thanks > Rui (AKA. Dave Young) >
