All I've done is send round a few emails and post on places like
Mandriva user forum, Linus Desktop, and here. Ken and Bob are the ones
that have done, or attempted to do, something, so I think 

"someone who gets off his arse and tries to do something for Linux"

applies.  You could I suppose include the fact that I have always paid
for my Linux - bought Lycoris back in 2000, and moved to Mandrake (paid
for Powerpack, and continue to do so via membership subscriptions) the
same year, went full time for personal use in 2002 - which might make a
reference to myself reasonable, though I don't see it that way.
