Timur Tabi
Timur Tabi is a Linux device driver developer who was once a well-known OS/2 user and developer. Timur used to work at IBM on the OS/2 multimedia subsystem. During that time, he:
- Created RTMIDI, the real-time MIDI subsystem.
- Created the MPU-401 device driver.
- Pioneered the development of C++ in OS/2 device drivers.
- Did the initial work on the object-oriented audio device driver sample.
After leaving IBM in 1997, Timur no longer did any major OS/2 development but still contributed to the OS/2 community, particularly by giving presentations on OS/2 programming at the Warpstock conferences. Timur finally gave up OS/2 altogether in 2004, when he had to get rid of his personal PC and his home office to make room for his second child.
There is also his "joke" profile posted for Warpstock 2001:
"Timur Tabi is the world's sexiest OS/2 developer. When he's not modeling men's underwear for Victoria's Secret, he writes OS/2 and Linux device drivers. Timur's list of accomplishments, both with and without his clothes on, are too numerous to include here, but you can get an idea of just how studly he is by visiting his web site at http://www.tabi.org/timur"
