.. description: Peter Lunblad, a blind developer who is a leading contributor to Subversion, was recognized at the O'Reilly Open Source Conference and hired by Google.

Lundblad is a leading contributor to the {{% wikipedia article="Apache Subversion" %}} open source code project, which has produced a widely adopted code management system. He was one of five open source leaders recognized in August at the {{% wikipedia article="O'Reilly Open Source Convention" %}}. Unlike the others, Lundblad is blind—a fact that did not concern Google, his new employer.

I'm just amazed.
