Tom Lane of the PostgreSQL Global Development Group for Best Hacker. He also answers questions and can post a patch to postgresql within hours of a question. Databases are large and complex. He has an extraordinary grasp of the big picture and more importantly all of the details. He has overseen the growth and significant improvement of PostgreSQL over many many years.

Dave Winer for the invention of RSS, OPML, RPC-XML, and essentially the modern web 2.0 world as we know it.

Adam Blum of Rhomobile. He's made it possible for me to do smart phone development (iPhone, Rim, windowsmobile, Android) with just one language. And it happens to be my favorite language, Ruby!

Adam Blum with Rhomobile has nailed a solution that gives us scalability/flexibility to many of the applications we analyze, which are jumping into the smart phone development convergence.

Adam Blum with Rhomobile has really great framework! It is excellent idea to have one language (Ruby) for development on various mobile platforms. This is very young product but in any case this is a great challenge to do what they are trying to do. You know that Java failed to become one language for mobile development but now we already have one language (Ruby) and Rhomobile makes development for various mobile platforms possible.

Adam Blum of Rhomobile would be my nomination. Rhomobile is one of the most innovative significant open source companies that I have seen. Their solution changes the rules and levels the playing field for mobile development.

Mario Behling is promoting Freifunk http://freifunk.net and LXDE http://lxde.org/ in Europe and Asia a lot as well as connecting both transcontinental communities. He is greatly complementing the developer-dominated communities with his networking skills and passion for open source. Thank you very much Mario!
