Life and career
Ian Ashley Murdock was born in Konstanz, West Germany on April 28, 1973. He wrote the Debian Manifesto in 1993 while a student at Purdue University, where he earned his bachelor's degree in computer science in 1996. He named Debian after his then-girlfriend Debra Lynn, and himself (Deb and Ian).[1] They subsequently married (between 1993 - 1996), filed for divorce on the week of August 10, 2007,[2] and were granted the divorce in January, 2008.[3]
On joining Sun, he led Project Indiana, which he described as "taking the lesson that Linux has brought to the operating system and providing that for Solaris", making a full OpenSolaris distribution with GNOME and userland tools from GNU plus a network-based package management system.[4] From March 2007 to February 2010, he was Vice President of Emerging Platforms at Sun,[5] until the company merged with Oracle and he resigned his position with the company.
Murdock is currently Vice President of Platform and Developer Community at ExactTarget, based in Indianapolis.[6]
