From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Paul 'Rusty' Russell, employed by IBM's Linux Technology Center and a technical member of OzLabs, is an Australian Linux kernel hacker. He is most well-known for his work on packet filtering (in particular, ipchains and netfilter/iptables), but has also made a large number of other contributions, including futexes, the compressed loopback device, hotplug CPU support and an in-kernel module loader.
In 1999, he conceived, bankrolled and executed the first Australian Linux conference, today's annually held linux.conf.au.
Until August 2005, Rusty Russell also maintained a patch collection of trivial patches for the Linux kernel (the Trivial Patch Monkey), which accumulated small patches that otherwise might get lost.
Paul Russell was also one of many stage names used by Singer Gary Glitter.
