Tim O'Reilly: for starting the book publisher that moved UNIX and open
source products into the range of non-gurus
William H. Gates: for providing a "great Satan" for the open source to
movement to love to hate. (Would there have been a Linux/OSS movement if
the "enemy" was Bill Joy or Jean-Louis Gassee?)
Jon Postel: for contributions to TCP/IP and for establishing the ground
rules for how to have disparate interests come to consensus on technical
issues
