John Macdonald
John Macdonald has been using Perl commercially since 1988 for a
suite of Unix system administration tools. His background with Unix dates
back to the days when Unix was written in PDP-11 assembler and later
includes representing the University of Waterloo at the first UNIX Users
Meeting at City University of New York in the mid-1970s while finishing
his M. Math degree. (In those days before the creation of Usenix, the people
at the meeting would sit together around a single table.) In addition, his
background includes work on compilers, kernel internals, device drivers and
the like. He has also been observed partaking in recreational computing
activities.
