Mark Spencer

In the era of the sixties of the last century, preferred the mother of Mark Spencer (French professor) to leave for Egypt, an immigrant to the United States of America, where she married an American man who a professor of education and settled there, and then gave birth to her son Mark in April 8, 1977, in a strong desire to maintain the bonds of family relationships, Mark's grandfather insisted on the arrival of grandchildren in the summer holiday to Egypt to spend some time there.
Marco (as I like to call him his companions) is very different, he was an expert and a genius in the operating system to Linux is in high school, and he believed that Microsoft's fatal creativity and development, explained the difference Marco being serious all the time, take every word seriously, He was ready to take everyone, however, to the world of Linux.
Got Marco on university scholarships comprehensive at the same university where he worked in his parents, and an in-depth study of the Linux development, in the meantime, Marco suffers from too many friends who use various chat programs (MSN, Yahoo, ICQ ,...) to stay in contact with each other, how to solve this problem, Marco? Marco rushing to design a program that allows Gaim to the user through a single window access to all services, chat programs simultaneously, without having to download each program separately (based on the legal harassment of AOL's change the name of the program at this time).
Principles do not change:
Principles Marco fixed insists on the participation of the source of any program designed by with other people, in accordance with the same spirit in which it has the Linux operating system, a policy that proved to be useful, as soon as shared by many around the world in the development of the program, Vengulwh to run on most operating systems, and continued to developed to cope with all the new chat software in the world at the present time, today the number of users of Gaim for nearly two million users.
Signed Marco during his university studies his new company to provide technical support for users of Linux, but faced a small problem, he started his company with a capital of $ 4 thousand dollars, and therefore can not buy Central Telephones internal to receive customer connections of telephone and pay to take voice messages (the system that wants Marco cost 10 thousand dollars).
Commitment and perseverance:
Rushing Marco programming optimal solution to his problem: a program he authored called Asterisk Asterisk, which runs on a Linux system and the need for the card modem line, telephone and connection to the Internet, what are the days until the end of the initial version of the program, put forward by the hosting service on the Internet with the provision of its origin in 1999, Marco was not at the time the bulk of its attention on the center of the star.
With the end of the flurry of Internet and the bankruptcy of many companies, the less demand for Marco to support Linux, which was forced in the spring of 2001 to convert the bulk of its attention to provide technical support to telecommunication services over the Internet, at the end of 2001, the Company Marco sell hardware connections compatible with its star, It was only a few months until he began Giants Evshon area of a giant new among them, began to Intel Corporation in the sale of calling cards compatible with the star, and the IBM with a strong relationship with Cisco, a giant production of telecommunications equipment, maintaining a strong relationship and good with Marco, they are I knew that the future for him.
Ended up program star today that has been uploaded more than a million times and started a lot of companies around the world to rely upon, to provide source code program to make 350 programmers from around the world add to the star of more than 100 gloss (one), in 2005, Cisco has announced the results of the study conducted the largest 100 companies used the star instead of their products, which found that the stability and productivity rains and strong technical support and continuous improvement and excellent service are the main causes of the transmission customer, not just low cost.
Giant:
Program allows the star today is used to provide approximately 80% of the cost of buying hardware phone communications in any company, which provides telephone service over the Internet, and can be connected to any central telephone in any company, a program very flexible customizable to comply with any requirements of customers, using Electricity Company South American star program in response to telephone calls and convert them to text messages that are sent to owners via mobile phones.
Employs Digem Digium, founded by Marco in 1999, more than 50 employees and generate more than $ 10 million annually, compared to sales of hardware connections provide more services via the star, and for the services of technical support services and customize the program for the benefit of customers.
During his undergraduate work Marco part time in a company that specializes in the design and sale of organs of internal communications (exchanges) for a period of two years, after he designed his star sold the seventh company to the same company for half a million dollars, of going in the corners of Company Marco finds the facility in place rent of a small price , containing many devices have paved their bellies and entrails were strewn on the office staff who like to test everything that is new, to come as new.
Finally, seal the words of Brian Tracy: (all you can imagine for your mind and believe it can be achieved).
