The south african founder of Linux Ubuntu Mark Shuttleworth has his own blog called “Here be dragons” (beside of his name as the brand) and the Shuttleworth biography is interesting to read.

For example Mark founded the Ubuntu project in early 2004, which aims to produce a high quality desktop software environment that is freely available all over the world. He also flew in space in April 2002, as a cosmonaut member of the crew of Soyuz mission TM34 to the International Space Station. He likes the african bush and russian saunas both not public speaking and running.
