 Ian Kluft
has done a lot for Linux and open-source software. He founded sbay.org
in 1993, which he calls ``a communications geek group in Silicon
Valley.'' He is still the group's coordinator and notes that Linux has
been the backbone of the group's infrastructure since the beginning. Ian
also helped with the Usenet Volunteer Votetakers. He contributed a
module (mod_mime_magic) to Apache and helped start the Apache JServ
(Java servlet engine) project.
His work with Linux was born out of time spent in Amdahl's mainframe
UNIX lab in 1992, where he first discovered Linux. He says, ``I had been
involved with maintaining the smail mail transport agent on Amdahl's
mainframes.'' He noticed that smail was not yet ported to Linux. He did
the port on a 486, then passed his work on to the smail maintainers.
``Little did I know at the time, I had made the first Linux e-mail
server.'' He continued his work with smail by maintaining the Linux
binaries on Sunsite, an early Linux FTP site. He maintained smail for
Debian and Slackware until mid-1995, when ``it looked like the Linux
distributions were able to handle e-mail servers on their own.''
Ian was attracted to Linux because he didn't feel limited by a
commercial organization. Like many, he didn't want to pay SCO $800 for a
two-user UNIX license. After a few weeks, he had Linux running on a 386.
The real draw was that there was no one telling him what he could or
could not do with his computer. ``Any code I could write, I could run.
Anyone competent enough to be the system administrator of their own
server had uncommon computing power in their homes.'' Like the rest of
us, the current success of Linux astounds Ian and he certainly ``never
expected to end up with Linux stock worth about a year's salary.''
In 1995, Ian left Amdahl for a smaller, lesser-known company called
Cisco Systems. He is currently a software engineer in Cisco's IOS
technologies division. Outside the computing/Linux world, Ian involves
himself with the West Valley Amateur Radio Association, serving a term
as president. He has a strong interest in amateur rocketry and works
with other rocketry hobbyists ``on using a real-time variant of Linux as
an on-board flight control system for a suborbital amateur rocket.'' He
spent a week in the Nevada desert in March to help a group from
Sacramento attempt the first amateur rocket launch to space.
