Hi,
Our own Anand Babu is also mentioned in this interview.
"Developers at CDC, led by Anand Babu, had begun several IPMI related projects internally for their customer base. At LLNL, I had begun working on several IPMI related projects that would be needed for Thunder. While Thunder was being assembled, we worked on alot of these projects together, and eventually merged it together into FreeIPMI. Since that initial merger, developers from LLNL, CDC, and Zresearch (where some former CDC developers went to) have continued the primary maintenance and development of FreeIPMI."
Cheers Praveen
