I could be wrong but I don't think he was a developer. From the pieces I've read it looks like his contribution to linux, seems to be distributing it through donations of old computers with linux installed to people / organizations in need.

He runs an organization/project called Reglue (http://reglue.org/). They give out computers to children who otherwise would not be able to get one.

If you live in Texas you should consider cleaning out your closet and donating some computers to the cause. They're basically looking for P4 class machines and better. Something gathering dust in your closet can changes a kid's life forever.

It's funny how we assume (well, at least I did) how contributer has to be a developer.
