Bio
"He cut his hacker teeth on a 'Kim-1', which had a 6502 processor with 1k of memory and had to be programmed in machine code from a hexadecimal keypad, before later moving on to work with grown-up code like Samba, OpenLDAP and Squid.
Prior to founding the open source consultancy, support and training company Sirius in 1998, he was the technical director of an IT Management training company. He is best known today as President of the Open Source Consortium (OSC) - and scourge of the BBC." (http://www.computerworlduk.com/toolbox/open-source/blogs/index.cfm?entryid=244&blogid=14)
