    not so happy hacking

    He is an ardous warrior of the hacker culture, always fighting for freedom of information, permeating wherever he was involved with values we share. Proof of this is his lead in the project gutenberg, which always fought against those who want to profit with knowledge that belongs to humanity.

    Also a guardian of hacker values and ideals.

    Definitely sad news, because he is part of our conscience.

    HOPE!
