FreeBSDChina社区最近采访了徐逸锋(David XU)，一位来自中国大陆的FreeBSD src committer。徐逸锋先生在FreeBSD KSE项目中做出了相当多的贡献，在这次访谈中，他谈到了关于自己参加FreeBSD开发的一些经历、KSE、SMPng以及关于FreeBSD的一些其他事情。我们非常感谢徐先生接受我们的采访，也希望这次访谈能够帮助大家进一步了解FreeBSD。
李鑫(以下简称「李」)：可否请简要介绍一下关于您的一些基本情况？
徐逸锋(以下简称「徐」)：我是浙江绍兴人，现年35岁，大学毕业后工作过好几个地方，现住在杭州，已婚。
李：是什么促使您参与到FreeBSD的开发中的呢？
徐：我在成为FreeBSD src committer以前，一直在使用FreeBSD, 并且对FreeBSD的POSIX thread(PThread)支持不满意，一直希望有一个性能更好的PThread支持，在2002年，我有幸与Julian Elischer在将FreeBSD内核线程化上做了大量的交流工作，Julian Elischer非常友好地帮助我成为src committer.
