LinuxElectrons is reporting on Tridge having completed his OSDL fellowship.

"An enormous amount of progress towards the completion of Samba 4 was made while I was an OSDL fellow, which culminated in the release of the first technology preview release of Samba4 last week," said [Samba creator Andrew] Tridgell. "Having time to concentrate just on the one project really helped."

Best wishes to Tridge as he returns to work at IBM.
