Gervase Markham (programmer)

Gervase Markham (born June 1978) is a British programmer for the Mozilla Foundation, and a lead developer of Bugzilla. He started contributing to the Mozilla project in 1999, and became the youngest paid employee of Mozilla.org at age 23 after he graduated from Oxford University. He is named after his grandfather; both are related to the 16th century poet and writer Gervase Markham.

In 2006, he won a Google/O'Reilly Open Source Award as "Best Community Activist". He has also presented to the FOSDEM conference for several years about the Mozilla Foundation activities and Bugzilla.

Markham is a born-again Christian, and has been undergoing treatment for metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma. He has written about both, and the relationship he sees between them.
