Andrew Morton
- Andrew Morton
Linux kernel 2.6 maintainer. Senior Engineer, Google Inc. Fellow, Linux Foundation
Andrew Keith Paul Morton is a leading developer and coordinator of the Linux kernel project. He currently maintains the so-called mm tree, which contains not yet sufficiently mature code that might later be accepted into the mainline Linux kernel. He holds an honours degree in electrical engineering from the University of New South Wales in Australia.
In the late 1980s, Andrew Morton worked as a software and hardware engineer for an Australian gaming equipment manufacturer. From 1992 to 2001 he worked at Nortel Networks' Australian R&D labs as a software development manager. In 2001, Andrew and his family moved from Wollongong, Australia, to Palo Alto, California.
In July of 2003, Morton joined the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) under an agreement with his then-employer Digeo Inc., in which OSDL supported Morton's Linux kernel development work while he continued in his official role as principal engineer at Digeo.
Since August 2006, Morton has been employed by Google but will continue his current work in maintaining the kernel at the Linux Foundation, a merger between the OSDL and the Free Standards Group.
