Open-source company Novell relaunched its Linux driver programme on Thursday.
The programme, which was originally launched in January, aims to co-ordinate Linux driver development to provide driver code for businesses.
Until Thursday, the programme was administered on a part-time basis by Novell developer Greg Kroah-Hartman.
Now Novell has appointed Kroah-Hartman to co-ordinate the programme full-time, according to Kroah-Hartman's Linux Kernel Monkey Log.
