Keith Packard also did a number of talks at linux.conf.au over the years about various bits and pieces of the machine

Interesting, thanks. I recognized his name as one who worked [1] on the X Window system, from a book in an X/Xlib/Motif course [2] I attended much earlier.

Googled his name and found this:

[2] On a side note, Motif was pretty powerful. I remember a colleague of mine who was also in that course, creating a rudimentary app like MS Paint, in the class, in just half an hour or so - as the instructor was teaching, in fact. (Maybe he had studied it some before, of course.) As he demoed it to us, he went "Foo!" :)
