In all seriousness, what would the criteria be? You could include the
editor of Linux Journal, but they're competitors (is she related to
you?), or the people who've organized the greatly successful Linux
conferences, even though they also have Microsoft related products. I
wasn't terribly disgruntled not to have made it on the list (really!),
but then, Linux isn't my whole life... but where would the criteria of
people who have aided Linux and Free Software in other fields have
come from?
