Theodore Y. "Ted" Ts'o (born 1968) is a software developer mainly known for his contributions to the Linux kernel, in particular his contributions to file systems.

He graduated in 1990 from MIT with a degree in computer science. After graduation he worked in the "Information Systems & Technology" (IS&T) department at MIT until 1999, where among other things he was project leader of the Kerberos V5 team. After IS&T he went to work for VA Linux Systems for two years.

Since December 2007, he has been the Chief Platform Strategist at the Linux Foundation. [cite web

] From December 2001 to his departure to the LF, he was employed by IBM where he worked to improve the performance and scalability of the Linux kernel. He plans to return there after two years at LF.

He is the primary developer and maintainer of e2fsprogs, the userspace utilities for the ext2 and ext3 filesystems.

Ts'o is currently serving as Treasurer for USENIX, and has chaired the annual Linux Kernel Developers Summit.

Ts'o is a Debian Developer, maintaining several packages, mostly filesystem-related ones, including e2fsprogs since March 2003.

Ts'o started working on the Linux kernel in July 1991, when the kernel was still in its infancy. According to Linus Torvalds he was the first Linux kernel developer from North America.

He was a member of the Security Area Directorate for the Internet Engineering Task Force, and was one of the chairs for the IPsec working group. He was one of the founding board members for the Free Standards Group, and currently serves that organization as its Chairman.

He was awarded the Free Software Foundation's 2006 Award for the Advancement of Free Software.
