I don't know any individual I would consider an unsung hero.

However, I would suggest there are many unsung heros in the linux world.

The people who help others day in and day out on this list are unsung heros.  Sharing their knowledge with all and 
sundry for only the satisfaction of doing it.

The people who develop all the nuts and bolts that make linux the everything and the kitchen sink of operating systems 
are unsung heros.  Not the headliners only, but all the people in the trenches.

Some especially unsung heros are the people who maintain the documentation, build the wikis, create the visual effects, 
maintain the websites, resolve the problem tickets.

Linux is an ecosystem, and while there might be some folks at the top of the celebrity chain, everyone who contributes 
is one of your unsung heros.
