    Andrew Morton is an Australian... and IMNSHO he's the best thing that's happened to the Linux Kernel in the past few years.
    I could roll a few names off the top off my head: Keith Owens, Rusty Russell, Richard Gooch, Rasterman...
    Tridge is a way cool dude and I'm glad he received this award.
    Take a look around dude 8) You're surrounded by Australians!!! Nooo!!!!

    Cheers

    There are quite a number of australians that are being misrepresented here. I'm talking about the ones who cringe with national embarrassment every time some loudmoth attention seeking jerk jumps up and screams 'Aussie ...etc' at the top of their lungs.

    and, It's pronounced ('Ozzee' like 'Mozzie') NOT ('orsie' like 'horsey') ;}
