He received an undergrad degree in information systems.
- rc00 4y agoBachelor of Business Science degree in Finance and Information Systems[1]. Depending on the curriculum and institution, Information Systems is not a technical degree in the same sense as Computer Science. That is why I quantified with "it depends on your definitions." I'm not sure if Bob Young (founder of Red Hat) meets the definition either since he is no longer involved these days. There's a bit of a theme developing in my mind clearly as these are all the enterprise and open source projects. I admittedly don't know much about the founder(s) of SUSE. (In my mind, I might be ascribing some notion of success to being a profitable enterprise. You may not feel the same.) Nonetheless, those are examples to the hypothetical and I have not researched any others though I am sure they exist. I think one important thing to keep in mind is the type of person/personality these projects tend to attract in the first place. That is likely why there are a predominant amount that are technical. This detracts from the original point though. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth#Early_life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth#Early_life
