Born on the same day as me (18th September), he is just 9 years older than me.
This South African entrepreneur has already acheived a lot in life. As the founder of Thawte, which he later sold to VeriSign for about 3 billion, he is now a Venture Capitalist, runs a philanthropic organization, is the head of the Ubuntu development. And if all this wasn’t enough,he was the first African nationalist in Space. He is also the worlds second space tourist, paying about 20 million to spend about 8 days at the International Space Station. For this, he had to train for about 1 year.
Starting as a Debian developer, he choose to return to Linux. He funded the development of Ubuntu, one of the fastest growing Unix OS presently. He has invested 10 million dollars in Ubuntu. He is the ‘Self-Appointed Benevolent Dictator for Life’ (SABDFL), when it comes to Ubuntu.
At 32, he is exactly what I would love to be.
