Mission of the Hotplug Special Interest Group: The HotPlug SIG's goal is to identify and resolve HotPlug (and Hot Remove) related technical inhibitors to Linux adoption in the Data Center, Desk Top, or Carrier Grade usage models. Initially the group will examine what role OSDL can play beyond the activities already underway. We plan to investigate HotPlug CPU, memory, IO subsystem, and node support. OSDL SIGs are open to all community members with no paper work involved. Please invite developers who would be interested to join in this effort with OSDL members. Dr. Martine Silbermann, HP, is the SIG Chair (martine.silbermann@hp.com) Mary Edie Meredith, OSDL, maintains the status (maryedie@osdl.org)
