Jeffrey A. Poskanzer is a computer programmer. He was the first[citation needed] person to post a weekly FAQ to Usenet.[1] He developed the portable pixmap file format and pbmplus (the precursor to the Netpbm package) to manipulate it.[2] He has also worked on the team that ported A/UX.[3] He has shared in two USENIX Lifetime Achievement Awards – in 1993 for Berkeley Unix, and in 1996 for the Software Tools Project.[citation needed]
He owns the Internet address acme.com (which is notable for receiving over one million e-mail spams a day[4]), which is the home page for ACME Laboratories. It hosts a number of open source software projects; major projects maintained include both pbmplus and thttpd, an open source web server.
