How many people do you actually recognize?

Personally, only Limor Fried. It's weird, but also interesting, that tech is so faceless.

I recognized quite a few, since I met several of them at the old Usenix conferences I used to attend. Dennis Ritchie, Eric Allman, Kirk McCusick, Keith Bostic. A few others. I would like to have seen the late Evi Nemeth, but she was known more for System Administration than for open source, I suppose. I also recognized Guido van Rossum and Keith Packard, again from conferences. You really get to match a name to a face at events like that.

That is why I like this site. I gives tech a human touch.
