 Donald
didn't respond to any of our messages, but we know a bit about him so we
decided to wing it. First of all, we know Donald because he was on the
cover of issue 10, February 1995, where he was a part of the Linux
Conference at Open Systems World in Washington, DC.
Donald was a big contributor early in the Linux game, writing the code
for the Ethernet drivers. He did this while working for NASA at the
Center of Excellence in Space Data and Information Sciences as a staff
scientist. Information on Donald and his code can be found at
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/people/becker/whoiam.html.
He was the principal investigator on NASA's Beowulf Project, ``an effort
to develop a software distribution to help others build high-performance
workstations based on a cluster of off-the-shelf processing nodes
running Linux.''
He is now the Chief Technical Officer of Sycld Computing Corporation,
where he ``continues the Beowulf work, making available the expertise to
non-NASA entities.''
For fun, Donald likes to kayak, and you can read about his kayaking trip
down the Yukon River in 1993 at his web site. There is also a beautiful
picture of the river and mountains, as well as information on how to
reach him.

Donald Becker, a staff scientist with the Center for
Excellence in Space Data and Information Sciences (CESDIS), hasplayed a
critical role in the development of low-cost, high-performance parallel
computing as the chief investigator of the Beowulf Project. Becker has
written enhancements to the kernel network subsystem to support faster
I/O on high-speed networks, device drivers for countless Ethernet cards,
and a distributed shared-memory package. If you use a net- working card,
there's a good chance its driver was written by Donald Becker.
