Bill Joy:

Bill Joy is famously known as the co-designer of the Berkeley Unix operating system (BSD or Berkeley Software Distribution Unix), which is an open-source operating system with built-in TCP/IP networking. The BSD Unix included the C shell, the vi editor, and virtual memory support that allowed programs to function beyond the hardware’s actual physical capability. In 1982, Joy co-founded Sun and in 1986, he was awarded the Grace Murray Hopper Award by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). He currently partners with venture capital firms Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield, & Byers.

David Korn:

Unix users might be familiar with the term ‘Korn Shell’- well here’s the guy who developed the Korn Shell- David Korn. Korn started his career at Bell Labs in 1976. The main aim behind developing the Konr shell was to invent a more flexible core than C and Bourne shells. Apart from developing the Korn Shell, he also developed UWIN, an X/Open library for Win32 systems. He has written two books and dozens of papers on Unix and its development. Korn still works at AT&T Labs.
