I'll renominate one of Gabe's excellent suggestions last year in case  
it hasn't already been submitted this year:

Adrian Holovaty

Adrian is co-creator and a bdfl of django, a journalist, an inspirer  
of Greasemonkey, an influencer of google-maps, a winner of a $1.1m  
Knight Foundation grant (the org promotes journalism), and creator of everyblock.com 
.

One reason for this suggestion: my interest in parallels between the  
mission and, recently, rapidly changing place of journalism and the  
library world -- such as the loss of exclusive gate-keeper roles due  
to tech advances, and new opportunities afforded by those advances.
