juan_gandhiMeet the genius, Aaron Schwarz: a hacker, a blogger, an amazing programmer, a celebrity, an architect of RSS format...
(Aaron Swartz is a teenage writer, coder, and hacker. He was a finalist for the ArsDigita Prize for excellence in building non-commercial web sites at the age of 13. At 14 he co-authored the RSS 1.0 specification, now used by thousands of sites to notify their readers of updates. He's a member of the W3C's RDF Core Working Group which is developing the format for the Semantic Web and Metadata Advisor to the Creative Commons. He's also the author of rss2email, xmltramp, HTML diff, and html2text.)
Yes, a teenager. Shit! What were we doing all this time?!
Experience
Web: AOLserver, Apache, Zope, ACS, Python, PyWX, WebWare, Skunkweb
Databases: Oracle, PostgreSQL, BerkeleyDB
Languages: C, JavaScript, Tcl, Python, bash, Java
Operating Systems: MacOS Classic, Mac OS X, Red Hat GNU/Linux, Debian GNU/Linux, Windows, DOS, OS/2
Here´s the picture, Aaron and Tim in 2001 (I guess they had just finished discussing new features of RSS).
