«Dr Andrew S #Tanenbaum – often known as "ast" for short – has been honored in the ACM Technical Awards 2023. The award is for his creation of the #MINIX operating system. It's not as famous as the offspring it directly inspired – the #Linux kernel. As well as that, though, MINIX 3 is a true #FOSS microkernel #OS, and as it's the software that powers the system management controller embedded in most modern Intel processors, it's exceptionally widely used.»
