Most of you should recognize Pat Villani. He is the original author of the FreeDOS kernel, and has been with the FreeDOS Project (off and on) from the beginning.
Pat contacted me about taking on the role of FreeDOS project coordinator. Pat & I really had been discussing this for weeks, but we decided not to announce anything until he & I could talk in person. (It just took a while to get a phone call scheduled, since I was so busy until Penguicon.) Since we no longer have a single person who fills this particular role, I agreed that Pat would be an excellent person to step in now that I am absent from FreeDOS. Welcome back, Pat Villani!

About Me
- Jim Hall
- I'm Jim Hall, the founder and Project Coordinator for the FreeDOS Project. I started FreeDOS in 1994, when I was an undergraduate physics student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Other developers got in touch with me, and we began work creating our own version of DOS that would be compatible with MS-DOS. I shared the extended DOS utilities that I had written for myself, as did others. We also found public domain or open source programs that replaced other DOS commands. A few months later, we released our first FreeDOS “Alpha” distribution. And from there, FreeDOS grew into what you see today!
