Michael Stone

Michael was recruited as a Summer '07 intern when he, Michael Burns, and Noah Kantrowitz were asked to prototype Rainbow, the isolation shell described by Bitfrost. He continues to work on this project and also devotes substantial effort to improving the Build system and OLPC's parent software distribution, Fedora.

• globally improving error detection and reporting logic throughout the upper half of the stack, or
• prototyping a Bitfrost identity and communications security service, or
• improving boot, Sugar, or activity-launching performance by 50% or more.
• addressing all denizens of #schoolserver on oftc as "sir".
