Message-ID: <20020401101459.GB18766@vnl.com> Mail-Followup-To: Dale Amon , Kernel Mailing List In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.28i X-Operating-System: Linux, the choice of a GNU generation Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I nominated Edsger Wybe Dijkstra and feel this is the best choice for a number of reasons: * He's good at concurrency. * Would bring a high academic profile to Linux. * Good programming practices would be enforced. We'd take a year off to remove all of our goto's and rewrite the kernel in Pascal. * Enforcement of non-anthropomorphic discussion of computers and programs. * No one can pronounce his name properly, thus preventing the complacency that would come with a leader named "Smyth" or "Jones". -- ------------------------------------------------------ Nuke bin Laden: Dale Amon, CEO/MD improve the global Islandone Society gene pool. www.islandone.org ------------------------------------------------------ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
