Hi!
It's not a best of or top 100 list or something, it is in random order. But Tim Berners Lee is of course on my list, so he will show up in the future.

i first thought it is by birth/or death date. some relation to "now" might make this more interesting, like the astronomy picture of the day. if there are two on the same day they could simply be shifted.

#10Im kind of unsure as to how to interpret this, but there appears to be no particular ordering just an influential cs person posted for each day of the month.
Theres definitely pleanty of influencers missing from the current set, McCarthy, Hoare, Dijkstra, to name few. If this were my list, I wouldnt have Lovelace or Gates on it, but most of the others seem warrented enough (in my opinion of course) :)
