a sad note for debian users.. forwarding this for people not on the debian announce list, and other linux users. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2000 15:51:21 -0400 From: Ben Collins <bcollins at debian.org> To: debian-announce at lists.debian.org Subject: Dedication of the Debian 2.2 release This is the first public announcement of this intention. Some may notice two new files in our archive (or on mirrors) and on the new Test Cycle 3 CD's. This is a dedication of this release to a recently daparted member of our Project, Joel Klecker, who died unexpectedly at age 21. The dedication can be found (and is attached here for completeness) at: ftp://ftp.debian.org/doc/dedication-2.2.txt You will also find a file with it called dedication-2.2.sigs.tar.gz, which contains close to 200 PGP signatures from our Developers for the dedication.txt. Joel's death was the result of a life long battle with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Information for donations to the Muscular Dystrophy Association can be found here and will be greatly appreciated (please make donations in Joel's name, if you so desire): http://mdausa.org/donate/index.html Sincerely, Ben Collins -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` bcollins at debian.org -- bcollins at openldap.org -- bcollins at linux.com ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---' --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
