Biography
Ron Minnich has been working in kernels, firmware, and runtimes since 1976. He has
contributed to Unix, Linux, and Plan 9 kernels, including the original 9p subsystem for Linux. He
was an early pioneer in cluster computing for HPC in 1991. In 1999, he invented coreboot, then
known as LinuxBIOS. More recently, he started the LinuxBoot project (linuxboot.org), which
uses another of his projects, u-root (u-root.org). His most recent project is oreboot, i.e.,
coreboot without 'c'; oreboot is written in Rust. His kernel and firmware work has found wide
use, including every chromebook, all Google data centers, and many other hyperscalar data centers.
