Brian Jhan Fox (born 1959) is an American computer programmer and free software advocate. He is the original author of the GNU Bash shell, which he announced as a beta in June 1989.[1] He continued as the primary maintainer of Bash until at least early 1993.[2][3] Fox also built the first interactive online banking software in the U.S. for Wells Fargo in 1995,[4] and he created an open source election system in 2008.
Free Software Foundation
[edit]In 1985, Fox worked with Richard Stallman at Stallman's newly created Free Software Foundation (FSF).[5] At the FSF, Fox authored GNU Bash,[6] GNU Makeinfo, GNU Info, GNU Finger, GNU Echo[7] and the readline[8] and history libraries.
He was also the maintainer of GNU Emacs for a time, making many contributions to the software which was created and maintained for the GNU Project between 1986 and 1994.[4]
Open source election systems
[edit]In 2008, Fox collaborated with Alan Dechert and Brent Turner to create a completely open source election system. The system was coded together with Parker Abercrombie, and demonstrated at the LinuxWorld conference in Moscone Center in San Francisco, August 5–7, 2008.[9]
Fox also is a founding member of both the California Association of Voting Officials (CAVO)[10] and the National Association of Voting Officials (NAVO).[11] These not-for-profit organizations promote open source voting systems for use in public elections. Fox co-wrote a New York Times piece in 2015 with former CIA head R. James Woolsey advocating open source election systems as a means of securing US elections against interference from foreign actors.[12]
Other software
[edit]Fox also wrote AMACS, a cut-down implementation of Emacs for the Apple II.[13]
Relatives
[edit]He is the fourth born in a family of six siblings: composer and musician Donal Fox, Thaddeus Fox, sister Ena Fox, Daniel Fox and sister Sara Fox-Ray. He is the son of physicist and educator Herbert Fox[14] and grandson of artist Daniel Fox, creator of the Monopoly Man.[15]
