ZFS Experts
The following people have volunteered to be resources help answer questions in their specific areas of expertise. The mailing list is also a general resource for code-related questions. Individuals listed alphabetically by last name:
Please add yourself here with a sentence about your experience with ZFS, a sentence about your areas of expertise, and a link to how to contact you (could be via your User: page on this site).
- Matt Ahrens
- Co-founded the ZFS project at Sun in 2001; designed & implemented many features including snapshot & clones, send and receive, scrub/resilver.

- Matt Ahrens: Open ZFS
- Will Andrews: FreeBSD
- Brian Behlendorf: Linux
- Chris Brown: Scientific Linux
- Pawel Dawidek (FreeBSD)
- Justin Gibbs: President, FreeBSD Foundation
- Darik Horn: Ubuntu
- Jorgen Lundman: ZFS on MacOS
- Martin Matuska: FreeBSD
- Ken Merry: FreeBSD
- Chris Siden: illumos
- George Wilson: illumos
- Richard Yao: Gentoo
- Aron Xu: Debian
From Confluence:
- Logos of the different OS communities and consumers: FreeBSD, illumos, gentoo, Debian, MacZFS, Nexenta, Linux distros, other distros
- Getting as many company logos as possible would be great to show people that for-profit companies are dependent on this functionality: it is real and reliable.
What should we do with this page? Should we make a section for companies? Should we provide more details/links?
I'd suggest we use companies and organizations for contributing companies. And a separate page for distros. How do we decide what individuals should be listed here? People with edit privs on the webpage? :) How do we decide who edits?
One idea would be to list people who are willing to be listed as resources to help others in particular areas -- subject matter experts. That way we don't have to judge if anyone has contributed "enough" to be listed.
