Lots of people here had some involvement in IT, but, like me, may not have noticed that Dame Steve Shirley died last weekend:

She donated millions to charity and succeeded in her aim of dropping out of the Sunday Times Rich List (by giving her wealth away).

F International was a big name when I was starting out in IT
professionally, and Steve Shirley was a remarkable woman. I heard her
being interviewed on the radio a year or two back. Sad that sherCOs gone.
