Thomas Bushnell
Early life and education
Bushnell was born on 13 December 1967 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[8]
Bushnell attended Carnegie Mellon University for one year in 1985-1986, and then almost two years at the University of New Mexico.[8] Later on, he eventually graduated 1999 summa cum laude from the University of Massachusetts Boston with Bachelor's degrees in philosophy and classics.[9][10] In 2007 he completed his PhD at the University of California, Irvine under supervisor Professor Bonnie Kent , with his dissertation titled Peter Abelard's Conception of the Good.[10][11]
GNU Hurd
The GNU Hurd
Bushnell was Hurd's official maintainer from its instigation until November 2003, when he posted to the GNU project's discussion mailing list saying that he had been dismissed by Stallman for criticizing the GNU Free Documentation License.[5] Stallman said the dismissal was because Bushnell had been inactive since 2001 and wasn't responding to mail.[citation needed]
Goobuntu
Bushnell previously worked on Goobuntu, a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu created by Google.[13][14]
