Michael Tiemann
|
Michael Tiemann is a true open
source software pioneer. He made his
first major open source contribution over a decade ago by
writing the
GNU C++ compiler, the first native-code C++ compiler and
debugger. His early work led to the creation of leading open source
technologies and the first open source business model.
In 1989, Tiemann's technical expertise and entrepreneurial
spirit led
him to co-found Cygnus Solutions, the first company to provide
commercial support for open source software. During his ten
years at
Cygnus, Tiemann contributed in a number of roles from
President to
hacker, helping lead the company from fledgling start-up to an
admired
open source leader.
Tiemann serves on a number of boards, including the Open
Soure
Initiative and the GNOME Foundation. Tiemann also provides
financial
support to organizations that further the goals of software
and
programmer freedom, including the Free Software Foundation and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
