(P.S. Hiroki Sato according to google is also part of MMA (different man i guess?) or is he just that awesome?)
Hiroki Sato is a full professor at Tokyo University, one of five members of the FreeBSD core, occasional contributer to IPFW, and the guy who is porting TeXLive to FreeBSD since 2001. He prevented at least two different people that I know of committing full working TeXLive to FreeBSD ports tree because it hurts his ego to know that a kid from France and a kid from a Serbia did something in 6 months that he could not do in ten years.
