I nominated Edsger Wybe Dijkstra and feel this is the
best choice for a number of reasons:

* He's good at concurrency.

* Would bring a high academic profile to Linux.

* Good programming practices would be enforced.
We'd take a year off to remove all of our
goto's and rewrite the kernel in Pascal.

* Enforcement of non-anthropomorphic discussion
of computers and programs.

* No one can pronounce his name properly, thus
preventing the complacency that would come
with a leader named "Smyth" or "Jones".
