Also, 33 votes behind 2nd seat. 110 behind for 1st seat.

Sorry to diverge like this, but as far as I know, support for my recent Intel video card is provided by the xf86-video-intel package, which is part of the X.org server. And this is not trivial to upgrade. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So many candidates, many of them merit a vote.
I voted RMS. He might be an idealist, but I believe that no-one contributed so much to digital freedom as he did.

I voted for Pat. My first exposure to Linux was a Slackware box in a college computer room in 1995. Been Slacking ever since...

I bet Poettering voted for himself again and again, using fake accounts. Such an action fits to his awful personality and his little pathetic super-ego. Besides, Who else would vote for him and his crapware?

Who voted for LP?

The uninformed idiot masses who care little about real contributions to open source and only want to be trendy, hip, cool, and very little else. Either that or every employee at Red Hat who got job scared when they were threatened with forced early retirement without benefits.

Of course I jest, but really after he trashtalked BSD, became a nuisance at conferences, and made publicized threats to other distributions to use systemd or else, yes... he is very undeserving of any level of Man of the Year.

@Reaper, like how he hijacked a presentation by BSD dev Wolfgang Draxinger.

Yeah, Wolfgang might have been a bit off on stuff, but Lennart could have been far more respectful and let the man finish his presentation.

There is no doubt mr. L.P. is a haughty moron but he is not the one to blame. Mind you, nobody would even know about his pathetic ego and his crapware if he was not working for RedHat. I believe RedHat is the company that harmed Linux more than any other - even more than Canonical, I might dare saying.

Yes Mr. Volkerding is closing fast on 1st place now. T'would be a jolly New Year to have PV take the crown and gain some wide notoriety for Slackware (as if it needs any more) :3

PV is 32 votes out of first! If you combine Eric's 73 votes Slackware is in the lead.
