Re: Contribution to Universal Flash Storage driver

Hello Jaeyoon,

Thank you for your email!

I and one of my colleagues here at the FreeBSD Foundation reviewed your
email and are very interested in your ideas.

One of our colleagues is on PTO last week and this week and we would like
to consult with them about who else in the community may be
active/interested in this area.

When they return next week, we will be meeting to discuss and I or one of
my colleagues will reach out to you with more information and some
suggested next steps.

Best regards,
