From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bruce Ellis (nicknamed: Brucee) was a computer scientist at Bell Labs during the 80's and 90's where he was heavily involved in the development of the Plan 9 from Bell Labs and Inferno operating systems, as well as ventures into network processing (the Froggie).
His involvement with the computer science department at Bell Labs started long before, and with Rob Pike he was responsible for the infamous Mark V Shaney in the early 80's.
After leaving Bell Labs he has been consulting and lecturing around the world while working on the OzInferno operating system as a continuation of the work he had done on the research version of Inferno. He is currently living in Sydney.
Other works of his include the mash shell, 64 bit support for the Plan 9 crosscompilers suite, and various PostScript interpreters currently in used by commercial printer manufacturers.
Last spotted at IWP9 2006 in Madrid. Enjoys making his life as complex as possible.
